The old saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink"
I never mentioned anything about being preached to but there has to be someone incharge we have someone incharge in another state but there is still local representatives who step up and take on the job and there are people who attack them but are not willing to do it themselves. All people need to have a global outlook and that will not happen until people realise that we are all dependant on everyone If even one person doesn't understand this it makes the future less certain but I believe that society is evolving just as humanity is for the better. I only said that my first thoughts are for Earth and it's people like you said think globally If I love my country I need to love the planet and all people in it, it is only when all people in the world have enough to eat and a place to live that anyone can feel safe anywhere. No-one should be made to drink the water but it is everyone's responsibility to show where the good water is. Not to hold their heads under it that is what is wrong with the world people wanting everyone to think the same way they do.
