Well continuing from the previous post concerning the IMF and World Bank, these organizations while undoubtedly spawned from the depths of hades are not the real problem. If one takes a look at the our society and stops for a moment to consider what is the driving force behind it - the answer is greed. Of course the answer is debatable, but for the intents and purposes of this post we'll set that aside for now, (stop questioning me, I'm always right - there are WMD's in Iraq...err) getting back to the supposed point...
If one observes daily life, it actually seems... well, normal. People go to work, come home maybe spend time with family, go out on the town, but for the most part it is for the benefit of themselves alone. It used to be a corny and overplayed mantra of children's programming to share and ... uhm, I forget the rest, but it was something of a type of moral value - probably.

Sigh, for some reason this post is degenerating into a strange mixture of bad humor and opinionated statements, not knowing a way to stop this phenomenon I'll just get straight to what my original point should have been regarding how to resolve the problems created by the IMF and World Bank.

Basically a change in the system of politics and the way countries (especially developing countries) deal with the international market pressure. I'll be blunt, democracy is great if the country is stable enough to support it, and in many cases it is horrendously wrong and just breeds a system of corruption under an 'in name only' democratic system. Developing countries are especially at risk because of the pressure from developed nations seeking resources/labour/markets.
The 'third world' has to stop giving in to demands of the western world and their market systems and basically become isolationist until they can be self reliant. I find it really funny that western culture holds independence as one of it's highest ideals yet it tries to create as much dependency as possible for struggling countries.
To address this issue are two possibilities, change from the top of government or a grass roots movement among the people. The former is by far the quickest, though in order for it to be effective a strong and necessarily dictatorial regime is required (IE China) - of course the danger is that the person in power will turn into... rhymes with stickler.
The other way is for a movement to start among the people to promote ideals not out of popularity but an informed and altruistic design of what needs to be done secure a future for our people and (dare I say) our planet. The problem is this method is by far much much harder, and it will probably take generations, because it has to be a true change in the way people are involved in their communities and the politics of their nations. Ask yourself how much do you know about the world around you, how much do you know about your neighbors? Is your community involved in things more than children's sports and the odd BBQ - does your community bring issues forward to the next level of government?
There are communities that do, but it seems that more and more it is a rarity rather than the norm. It just seems that people don't consider politics as important to daily life, and probably at this moment they might be right - though it might not stay that way.

Bah, now this post is way too serious, ah well it's late and I don't feel like editing or even spell checking of that matter - so let's just end with this:

Everyone is looking for the same thing, they just don't realize it
unfortunately, until they do most will feel alone or dissatisfied with
life in general. While true happiness does come from within, it's nice
to realize that we are not alone. Everyone has a place they want to be,
always keep that in mind - as the destinations might not be that far apart.

Yes, it has almost nothing to do with my ramblings of this post but... meh, seemed like it needed to be.. err typed.
