Problem is a lot of people don't mind using immoral means to obtain that power and wealth!

Did anyone see the story of Beijing and the Forbidden City last weekend? This must have been the height of desire for wealth and economic power. Starting in 1403 Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty built his capital their using 1m+ workers driving them to the limit of their endurance for 15 years. To have any rank in his administration you had to be a Eunuch, young boys volunteered to be castrated so that they could have a chance of a successful career. Eunuch's were also used to look after his many concubines - many of whom he never met.

For wealth and power to really motivate, its restrictions must be removed so that proper dog eat dog conditions are in force. If this is what you crave all well and good, as long as you will accept the crushingly wretched life you and the vast majority will have if you are not the, or amongst the, few fittest and ablest who achieve power.

Future for England... Well it's not looking good right now.

My prediction, within 10 years a new government will stand, not labour, not the torries but something fresh. A direct democracy, each home will be handed a computer and free internet and 6 times a year they will have the right to vote on the important decisions as handed down from parliment. With the BBC holding week long debates on the pros and cons of the upcoming referendums.

50% +1 ruling and all the **** will be solved, drugs will be kept out of prisons due to people deciding on how things are run, ID cards will be scrapped before they ever enter circulation, the Euro will be decided on by the people and all this will happen with at least 80% of people voting because it will become easier and more accessible.

A man had a dream once, dreams can inspire, inspiration can motivate, motivation leads to action and action is what this country needs.

Hail the coming revolution, the people will be heard! o/

Yes, that is true. When political power or force is used to extort wealth it is highly immoral.
