Feeling somewhat better

I think what i need is to hear other people that are concerned about similar issues. Not whether the proteas won or lost the cricket, but how we can live in a safer, saner, more family and friend oriented society and be less cut throat and unequal. I care that it is unsafe to walk on the mountain but i also care that it is unsafe in the
townships and on the streets. I care that i can only walk in very small, well defined areas in the city, which are not green, beautiful or as safe as they should be. I see no preparations going on around me for the inevitable water shortage in cape town this summer. In everything there is a compromise between quantity and quality and i
don't think that we should accept quantities of cheap crap goods. Quantities of prisons rather than improving quality of preventive anti crime measures- like food and shelter for the homeless and downtrodden as well as a basic income grant in order to dissuade desperate people from turning to crime.
Just a thought
