Was meant as a flame of any particular lifestyle, people, or thought processes.

If we can't make true progress under the current system, it's time to consider some new approaches. Although some of the replies here are thoughtful enough to point out obvious complications, (nukes!!), I refuse to just let the current way of picking leaders and/or reinforcing the current power structures exist as an unchangeable paradigm.

How much time do we have left before our choices kill us?
