Having read the thread, it's disapopinting that people have lost belief. Greed and intolerance have taken over. Government's pander to factional groups through focus groupings based on swing voters as well as appealing with the lowest form of politics, pandering to the greedy self within people. A situation Kennedy appealed against famously; 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country'.

To be honest how many people bother in their neighbourhoods anymore? The simplest form of politics (where governments can't be blamed), such as picking up litter on the street, to going out and tackling other neighbourhood problems. Or ignore the problems, leave it to others, blame everyone else and close the front door, how many people every year vote for that? Too many. "There's no such thing as Society".
