I like reading about these ideas but I know that central planning has never worked...our "democratically elected governments" can't even get our road systems improved adequately and our schools are not fit to be called schools so "redesigning or culture" is just not going to happen...

Jacque Fresco doesn't believe there is shortage of resources and advocates for a society where human rights are a way of life instead of mere paper proclamations: "If we have a high-tech nation we can make replicates of materials we have shortage of. If we have a shortage of building materials, whatever it is, we work on other things, right away, not one lab, thousands of labs are assigned. For example, we have a lot of people in this area but not arable land, so we work on soil recycling buildings. And near the ocean we start working on materials suspended under the ocean in different layers of sole water cultivated food, loads of research in that area. See? We have a lot of things to do."

But the numbers back home do not move. There is no effect on the favorability rating or the re-election prospects. In the media world, he is a giant. In the real world, he's not.

Yes, if I was an American this video would embarrass me into a coma. But Americans can take heart, we also know that these people do not represent the USA...the people who represent America are the one's who voted an intelligent and inspirational man to lead their country...

I think Glenn Beck would be one of this nutball's mates...still this dude is being pretty open and clear about his views and there's not many politicians that are open and clear..."Gentlemen! I despise each and every one of you"...oh..er...thank you...er...and it was nice to meet you to!

The UK is probably one of the worst places for the "public fear factor"...public safety is one thing but the public have been made to fear everything...
