I know it tends to be bad news that gets all the press and things probably as bad as we think. However, there are scary, high-profile cases of children being killed with knives and guns etc. We all deplore it and moreso if we feel that, when bought to justice, justice is too lenient. Do we expect too much of the police and the system? So is there anything we can do - us normal people? Has society got to change somehow? Does anyone know where to begin? Is it a lack of or misguided parenting? Is there too much violence on telly and films? Should violence in the news be discussed only after the watershed? Should there be a return to strict dicipline in schools? Should police be given more power and demand more respect from the public as a whole? Should children in violent or disfunctional families be removed? Do we need social services involved in schools? I don't necessarily advocate any of this. What do you think? (I'm in UK btw).

What is your superpower? How are you going to save the world? Why would you use your power for evil if this is the route you choose?

[eg] bill gates [bg] does what everyone does: decides to do smthg & does it - some decide to build hotrods, climb mountains, breed horses, become a secretary, invent, study - bg spends no more hrs working than billions of others - he uses his natural gifts - like everyone - he works no harder/hr than billions - he does what everyone does: work using whatever nature's gifts they have - true?
besides, we KNOW that the spectacular profits are due to difference between costs & prices - we know that costs include all pay for all work, including bg's work [incl his study] - therefore we know that profits have nothing to do anyone's input - the profits are caused by scarcity, ratio of demand & supply [before the 'invisible hand' lowers the prices], ie, customers giving more [money, ie, their wrk] than they get [total wrkinput in product] - ie price [buyer's wrk] = costs [product total wrk] + profits = fairexchangenorobbery + robbery = richgetricheretc = injustice violence nuclear extinction

Uhm. What do you call that job where you help people with problems?
Like the person that you sit down and listen to them tell about their 'problem' or something and you sit there and take notes..
What's that job called?
Does it pay good?
