Much of what has been said, I concur, but to legalize all illicit drugs may be a stretch, certainly Marijuana should be offered as a legal substance. I don’t see how Europe is leaning to the far right politically, since they are political economies of scales built on more liberal policies. That said, change does come in very small increments. Assuming that the human race has a future, some essential measures must be implemented to secure that future, e.g. reduction of human population, lower consumption levels, restrict freedoms- restrict criminal behavior, raising standard of living globally for average citizens, ethical governance by corporate entities, and less elitist control of financial markets.
