Well , it would be nice to begin to scale down our own mass-consumer oriented society , which tends to gluttony and goes over the top too often and extremely wasteful.

And yet it is a great entangled mess woven into the global fabric of the people's economies of the earth . On the one hand it is our consumerism , technology and habits that drive the economic engine of the world ...and without that or any lessening of it , and the entire world feels the decline.

Oversimplification I know , but on another plateau there would be far greater suffering without the technology and advancements we have introduced . Just our illicit drug consumption alone has empowered so many evil forces in the world. There can be some valuable lessons exchanged and brought to teach us (US) as well how to live with consuming less in the end , i would agree. Technology takes us not that far , yet.

There are many things we can all learn from each other .

The Israeli's technology for instance , & skill at management & engineering planning in many areas are actually such that they could be of great assistance to a large part the ME region and it's future, if there weren't the religious hatreds & animosities , and they could all grow past that and use the knowledge together God or the Universe has given them.

Fear and hatred ....great enemies of man, X.

(the world could live without coca-cola , hehe, but KO doesn't want that ! )

KO has taken a bit of a dive lately , hmmmm
