On Demand: "Do people need leadership?"

   This question is the first in a line of four that we're asked by my friend Serban on the "Idei, idei, idei" post. This is not as sensible a subject as religion...in fact, it's as clear as daybreak to me: People absolutely need leadership, strong leadership is even better. I refer you, my reader, to China's example. There's a leadership example that, at least in my opinion, should be taken into consideration for the future of mankind. Total extremism, the extreme right and the extreme left, have shown that they can't be a viable solution, a viable source of leadership for the future. Democracy and capitalism too are starting to show severe weaknesses when it comes to crucial decision making (alternative fuel sources, crime, poverty, disease).

   I'm thinking several decades into the future here, several decades of famine, poverty, wars...several decades in which humanity will be put through some major crisis', time at which current world leadership solutions will not cope (again, in my opinion). Of course not even the Chinese example is a 100% viable alternative because it needs to be more malleable, more tunned into the quick changes that are to happen in this century.

   "The solution, what is the solution?" I hear all you five readers asking...well I'm not so sure yet. It certainly isn't to be found in any country in Europe, the Americas or Asia and Oceania. The solution in today's leadership "crisis" is to be found in my opinion, in a mixture of systems, a good mixture of capitalism, socialism with infiltrations from ecology but especially science (no, ecology is not a science according to me, please sue). Science is becoming and certainly will be the basis of human civilization existing in harmony with, and quickly adapting to, the Earth's changes. Again I refer you, not to a philosopher, but to a stand-up comedian: George Carlin. 

   Coming back to the question in question hi hi, me made a pun, laugh you unenlightened monkey! ... People need leadership! Countries need leadership! The whole Earth needs leadership!!!

   Time to snap out of it if we're to survive what is to come. You might call me somewhat of a fatalist, of a pessimist...and to this I should quote the man in the video above with a decent "Fuck you!", but I won't. I urge you all (10 people reading this), snap out of your comfort zone, humanity needs more awareness, more desire to change, more, more, more... *rantingconitnues*

With hope that I haven't kept too much of your time,
