What do we do when thing don't work?

Loving that WW 2 in color series for reminding us of all the nonsense we can fall for when  we think things are going backwards . Very much the mood and reality of 2019 in the West .


1920-1940  So much of the evil in action is not directed by greed or material need ( tough there was as always much deprivation but the Americans were dance crazy rich ) but by the need to FEEL better about ourselves ; to find a purpose for life involving the  merely material ( so important to have work) but to move beyond it .
The problem is, we in the west have changed worldviews  and the new one is NOT working . To fix the problem we need to go back and restore the elements that worked from the past - not throw out the lot like the media +growth merchants want us to 

Chamberlain represents that terrible English condition that thinks being nice and friendly is being Christ like when the bloke himself got hung up for not being nice - he got hung up  for straight talking as we should . The Germans loved ,as Victorians now do, the government for giving them roads and work  even though they do little to show young people what to do with their education ( something better and more modern than roadworks ) ; we burn up the capital resources of our children .
The British ( God bless them were in no position for more war but had by 1930's lost their once great passion for fighting - passion for fighting tyranny as Bonhoeffer found out .


TODAY We can at least see the risk of war that makes no sense in our parties . I mean all good intentions but like Burke said - risks the greatest evil still >
The Greens ( God help them ) want a better world that rightly and correctly  must involve a better environment and Labor a fair and juster world , The Libs if you believe the ABC ( which I  clearly don't ) are lost and condemned puppets of big business.
Locked into some closets with their comfortable  intellectual logic's of those who would be emperors  don't listen

If we are to learn and make better decisions for the future we must all learn to listen , Listen for the weaknesses in our own worldview as its pt into practice , Truth telling in the family . God bless our Parliaments to do just that . And god bless our children to kick half of our populous only pedant position emperors OUT -- using the democratic .Or more correctly respect fr the small voice ) principles INHERENT in our understanding of what works best . Imagine what good things would happen in  regional Australia if the cynical media didn't have it in for regional reps ;like Barnaby Joyce 
ANSWER We don't blame others ---we look to ourselves first .
