I completely agree with you, Slavakion, but the problem is that your solutions deal with logic and common sense. These two factors, while completely necessary are very difficult to implement in a society that glorifies a copacetic, lethargic approach to every day life. It's much easier to make decisions when an authority figure makes them for you. Therefore the issues that people are concerned with a bred from what those in power want the populace to be concerned with in order to accomplish their own goals behind closed doors. People are much easier to control when they are stupid, uninspired and completely in the dark about just how bad things really are.
