This is something i've had rattling around in my head for a while but obviously subjects like this don't come up all that often
I think in a way we need reigion. or something.
The thing is right, religion taught a lot of lessons that are actually good. Love thy neightbour, honesty, forgiveness, not being greedy and a whole bunch of other things.
Now, when the world is becoming increasingly run by a smaller and smaller number of people, there is nothing to keep these people honest. Seriously, greed is the biggest one here. In days gone by, the (just plucking what seens like a decent estimate from the air here) 15-20 people who sit on the baord of the biggest multinational conglomorates (news corporation, comcast, pepsico) would have been on their knees in church on a sunday to pray for forgiveness and to reflect upon their sins.
That being said. even religion can have a few bad apples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ub9ErIJFJE
