End notes

Once again Melanie Philips hits the nail on the head, and what she says about Britain applies equally as much to Australia:

It is indeed becoming a selfish, brutalised, uncaring society. But this is the result of fundamental social and cultural changes -- like the fragmentation of the family, the refusal to transmit a common culture through education, the balkanisation of Britain through multiculturalism, the victim culture which gives a free pass to certain privileged groups for their bad behaviour.

All these changes flowed from the tremendous onslaught by the left upon the Judeo-Christian values of the west, and the replacement of the bonds of duty which keep a society together by a rampant hyper-individualism and group rights which break it apart on the rocks of selfishness.
 

Are we too far down the road of ideological suicide I wonder.
The anarchists (leftards) have occupied the high ground for many years; the educational fields both lower and higher, Hollywood, the unions, politics, philosophy and almost completely the concern with the environment.
We are going to have to completely rewire the populations worldview which has been shaped almost entirely by TV and the movies not to mention brainwashing at school, into believing that the only way is the 'collective' way.
My pessimism fears that we are too far gone and the only way anything is going to change is as a result of the apocalyptic.
