text: From an ethical, moral, ecological and monetary point of view you are absolutely correct. I know the UK can claim to be heads and shoulders above other countries in terms of corruption etc, but another story i saw today - all MP's expenses claims pre 2010 have been destroyed by parliament - sort of makes me bite my tongue and clench my fist. It is so obvious, yet the western/British/American material way of life puts a fine gloss over the covered up cracks in what is such a corrupt system...look at the SNP or Green party not being allowed to take part in TV debates and actually being refused for another example!!!! The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum" - Noam Chomsky
