Yeah, thanks for the meaningless platitudes.
No, its a fact. Without a complete reorganisation of our economic system, not a lot will change, in fact it'll probably get worse. A lot worse. We can change things, but not by writing to our MP.
The only way we make changes is by being proactive, not posting opinions on messageboards the government will never read. It's a fact.
n.
1. Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.
2. Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness.
People who look at the world and think "I can't make changes... People won't listen" ect
Who did you think I was talking about?
I didn't ask "what is apathy", I'm fully aware of what it means.
I was wondering who you meant, thats all. Yes, people can make changes through collective political action, but its a slow tough process. Writing to your MP won't help because our government can't or won't help. Look at the farce that was the G8 for instance.
The G8 I think made a few people aware, but because it wasn't constant didn't make any changes.
The G8 didn't make any changes because the people in power don't want any changes. Most aid to Africa comes with conditions such as privatising public utilities such as the water etc. The powers that be in the west want to continue the neo-liberalist project into Africa so they can make money and exert power. This does nothing to make the situation better, in fact it usually makes it worse. Nothing will seriously change under our current economic and political system.
