There are plenty of genious's around. Imagine if we had a totally different common goal, one where it isn't okay to force yourselves on others you consider inferior to solve things. One that values people differently. Earlier you stated that you dont equate Indigenous Peoples with the homeless. Where do you think they lived before they were brutally invaded and disposessed?
Look at what kids can do, if their imaginations are inspired. Even a simple skateboard becomes a source of wonder and miracles for them. I'm not saying it would be easy, or that I have the answer. But there will be other people out there that are perfect for and would love to create the solution, if they were given the inspiration and chance. Remember Bill Gates actually had to leave Harvard to take his part in linking the planet. It was beyond the institution or its teachers comprehension. Our kids need light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously something isn't working. Why champion and drum a style of thinking that has fostered and resulted in an endless succession of wars and death down their throats, and then bemoan the crime and shootings? Or wonder at Iksander's love of war and conflict?

The story of mankind... is the story of alphas... granted... we are not in a perfect place... but, we are slowly moving in the right direction...
The operative word is is "moving"... and when anything moves... someone of something has to lead... that's what alphas do...
We have two choices... alphaism or anarchy... I, for one, prefer alphaism...
