I agree 100% with your evaluation of human nature David.
Nothing will change.
Sadly, I too agree. I am becoming very skeptical about the chance of real change. The electoral system as it works usually results in the same people getting elected, and as a result, the same policies. The US is especially susceptible to this. With the economic elites in control for the media, and with so much money involved in politics, there is little hope for a change in political direction. Human nature is the problem. Regardless of the political or economic system, greed seems to prevail.
