In an ideal world.

What about me, me, me?

'Perhaps it is time we start dealing with...'

Would make a good inscription on the headstone of modern society. It takes seconds to undo something that has taken millennia to build. And often it is almost impossible to realistically consider effective reconstruction. Any more than you can unhire 750,000 unproductive new Brown-beholden, vote-enabled civil servants our pensions are being raided to fund, no matter how sensible or how much one would wish the next administration would do so.

But it does seem to offer some measure of gainful employ and/or fruitful remuneration to those who create the mess and those who write about it all.
