So the gabfesting is over and the idealists God bless 'em are winging their way back to obscurity. I don't mind people wanting to change the world for the better and I really don't intend this to be a criticism of their good intentions. However...

What is 2020 really going to be like? What is achieved by inviting Corporate Australia Ltd. and the multimedia whores to a weekend chat?

Do you actually trust people whose primary claim to fame is the siphoning off of your wealth into their bulging pockets? I don't. The media are a subsidiary of Corporate Australia Ltd. and they represent their parent company magnificently. Our leading politicians have to bare their arses to Corporate Australia or they will be hounded out of office by an army of sheep, whipped into a frenzy by their media subsidiary. 

If we could transport now to 2020, I think you would be horrified by what you see. In the same way, if you were taken from 1978 and dropped into 2008, you would be equally horrified. There would be some amazement at the technological advances and sure, a lot of that is driven by business. I ask you though, at what price progress?

2020? I see even more of the same x 100. People who have no opinion other than that which is shoved into them by the media. I see a society where you dare not set out of your door without a can of mace, a knife and a personal alarm.  I see a society were we spend so much of our resources on human offal, that we can't afford to look after those who have put their lives on the line for us. I see a society where even more of the government is sold off to Corporate Australia. The balance sheet rules now and will rule stronger in 2020.

Seriously, what is your vision of 2020? Not what you would like to see, but rather what will you see?



What do you see for Australian society in 2020? How will it change?
