i think that crying for better spending, rather than more spending will get you further, as will the continued emphasis on renewable resources and economic sustainability as a better value system than pure short-term (economic) profits. the same for taxing, as in: 'would you rather a community with a few rich at the top, then a huge gulf between them and the rest? or some more equitable setup?'
