Start here... 33billion dollars annually in the sex slave trade/human trafficking industry, more slavery in the world now than ever in history, 100million missing girls, two thirds of the world's human population does not have adequate fresh water, 25 thousand kids die quietly and unnoticed every day from unconscionable neglect, more orphans in the world than the entire population of US children... not popular issues, not even addressed in the lw/rw concerns, not interesting to you politics as usual going nowhere types, but that is our reality none the _less. Those are issues that require an open and genuine liberal thought process to even start to address them. Want more?

Aging in America and around the world is creating new issues as the number of persons aged over sixty is increasing at an unprecedented rate. What issues? We are not prepared to care for the number of persons who are becoming unproductive while still deserving of dignified healthy existence. Historically there were large numbers of children and grandchildren who made life whole and interesting for their aging grannies and grandpas. Many from the 1960's generation, intent on proving their independence, have entered their their 'golden years' of independence only to find themselves suffering from the debilitating effects of loneliness and social isolation. Even people who've produced children in this highly mobile society where divorce is more common than not, lose touch. What do you do Shepard, when you're all dressed up with your pocket full of viagra and you've no place to go?

Social experimentation bent on social movement is all well and good for those adventurers who are into that sort of thing. However, what happens when experimental failure is not instructive, what happens when there are no methods in place to even articulate problems; or to refine, modify, and adjust in flight? This is what has become of the extreme left. We are left with lock step dogma that may or may not be in our best interests but is beyond challenge in any event. It is oppressive. The extreme right is similar, except their problem is an inability to recognize when things have become archaic and obsolete. The extremes will inevitably all fall apart as the issues of a modern globe take precedence, probably not without a grand show of foot dragging in the process.
