Fewer perhaps. But from where I'm sitting I see the intentional destruction of the US middle class. Which will, in effect turn the US into a third world country.

redewenur quotes Canuck as asking: ""So - how do we get the world's population to develop a global conscience?"

Tools? I think the only way is to appeal to their vested self-interest.

For example: Lower taxes for those whose actions of personal responsibility don't further burden society by requiring more schools, more roads, more sewage processing, larger airports, etc.
