Well...what can we do?
Honestly, all I see nowadays is stuff about how bad we're boned, how the world's going down the drain, etc.

Now does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this whole damn mess?

Simply knowing what is wrong will not change it. As far as America is concerned, it is truly in the hands of Americans, just as we are all, if not responsible, then at least held accountable for our own countries actions.

What to do? Difficult to say, even elections are no longer appearing to be reliable. The thing is we are all waiting for the 'other guy'. We say 'If thousands of people marched on Downing Street, I'd join them', but I'm under no illusions that I'd be the first person to march on it, I'd just look like a prat if no-one else showed up ;)

Senseless violence comrade, its the only way.
Barring that, try getting on Oprah to preach your message.

There is no fix, We have just wait where this whole Situiton is going
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.- Nietzsche

When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.- Mahatma Gandhi

What Can you do

So you waste another day getting older and gray in the head,
And you're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times you have ahead.
There are other folks in power so you kick back and get farther behind,
And although the world rotates itself the only thing you twist is your mind.
You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts,
And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it.
You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool,
But oh, what can you do?
"Yeah you waste your time with losers if you get stuck in a rock-n-roll band."
Do you find it more rewarding to compete with morons throughout this land?
They seem to be in power so I'll kick back and get farther behind.
And I watch them as they **** up every good thing on this earth
with their "minds."

(Go!)

 
You could shoot everyone who doesnt agree with you, that would solve many problems.  Though you would be a bit lonely in the end.

The thing  is HIG, if the situation is going anywhere, it's because we are taking it there. There is a fix, but it would take such a massive leap in compassion, understanding and tolerance that we would have to start trying to achieve a Utopian society, and no-one wants that because then we'd have no one to stamp on.

Link times out for me.

Um, it's a tough question, isn't it?  It's easy to find problems, but how to fix them is the toughie.  

Some stuff, admittedly, is obvious; need a complete ban and removal of nuclear weapons, strengthen the UN (and ensure it is kept fair & democractic) so as to better act against illegal wars and breaches of human rights, bring in some proper environmental legislation (particularly for the tertiary economies; the 3rd worlds relatively slower development means it'll take time to get past polluting technologies), and convince every nation to spend its defence budget on solving the ills of humanity.

Of course, such charity is so unlikely it'll either take a paradigm shift of human nature or massive alien invasion to make it happen.

Didn't he die after getting syphillis from shagging too many concubines?

Mao said that POWER comes from the barrel of a gun. And Mao had a thing for 12-year-old virgins...

Personally, I think we should all stand in a big circle, hold hands, and sing Kumbaya... ;)
