I appreciate your sentiment and what I perceive as your implicit
"folks, consider being cautious" but when you say "fix that" the
obvious question is "how"?

I don't know that -any- system can fix any other system except to
appear to do so for a limited period of time until it too degenerates
due to the usual problems - individual human weaknesses (greed, lust,
anger, unwarranted reactions etc).

Do you actually believe there's an answer to -how- to "fix it"?

Or, are you uncomfortable with this discussion?

If you believe that this discussion is counter productive to what you
perceive as your and or our interests I'm interested to hear about;
but although "fix it" it sounds superficially laudable it's cheap and,
well, superficial.  You'll need to pontificate a little more deeply to
impress folks around these parts :)
