The Flow of money:
- How are environmentalist lobbies funded? Why the green-peace website does not disclose sources of funding explicitly?
- How are militant groups funded? Where can they buy arms from?
- Why don’t they teach anywhere about managing credit cards, insurance policies, tax returns, creditworthiness? Aren’t they not as essential as knowing how to cross a busy lane?
Politics:
- Why does diplomacy and US relations make countries turn a blind eye to what they see in front of them as an immediate local issue? What are diplomats & politicians afraid of?
- Why are politicians free to sit on boards of companies or for that matter dacoit gangs without disclosing it in election nomination papers?
- How relevant are mechanisms of nation states & internal constitutions when real issues we face are global in scope.
- Democracy and human rights are not recognized in large parts of the world because people don’t know what changes the day once they have them(Actually, nothing changes overnight). Those who have them mostly fail to recognize or use them.
Cultures and Living:
- Aren’t cultures just a way to get give ourselves an identity and maintain genetic distinction? Which parent is making a better choice in species evolution: One who sticks to them or one who cross pollinates?
- Why does the Indian government insist on you becoming a Non Resident Indian and so your relatives? We really don’t mind loosing a few million people here and there, do we J
- If education at school would adapt information and discussion on life values, ecology, humanity, consumer awareness, & generation of ‘happiness’ would the world change for better, faster and surer? Or the planet just becomes one mawkish blue ball.
- What is inherently different in the make up of Canada and USA that bring such varied visions on ‘development’ & living?
- Why is clean ‘water’ in stupid plastic bottles a sellable commodity? Now, why should sale of water be allowed? More '02- bars'… anyone?
- Why is life as artist considered offering maximum ‘freedom’?
- Aren't religions just selling something to you while buying you?
Ignorance is really bliss. You don’t keep tagging your discontents.
