Musings on experiences of volunteering in Papua New Guinea with some gratuitous domestic social and public comment

this is the society we have created

for our children. While governments over the past 30 years have been obsessed with the big-noting issues like economy and employment and interest rates and Vietnam and Middle East and keeping up with the Asians, they have created an individualistic and selfish society where now our children are reduced to on-line dating to get a partner for life. Once upon a time young people met each other through clubs and shared interests that existed in the living breathing soul-ful community. Advertising for a partner was the last desperate act of a loser. Community has gone the way of the chook raffle and with it has gone the respectable and self esteem way of meeting soul mates. Us baby boomers, why have we let it came to this? We ought to be ashamed to call ourselves parents for bringing our children into this soul-less world.
