Davos 07: Declining trust in leaders

Equal justice means that I have exactly the same rights as my neighbor, but he has a little bit less rights than me.
Everybody agrees on the top priorities (how couldn't he?).
In what we disagree is who has to loose in order to fulfill the needs of our changing society.
Priorities:

eliminating poverty, 13% That should be a little less rich and a little less poor.
But who is going to be less rich? "the others"

economic growth, 12%, How and when? Of course we have to produce more at a more competitive price. But who is going to produce and sell, who is going to buy?
Answer number first: WE, answer number second: the Others.

closing the gap between rich and poor, 11% The same as number first. The Others are going to be less rich in order that the poor get less poor.

protecting the environment, 10%Who is going to save on energy, cars, electricity, mobile phones...

restoring trust 9%Who has to get more honest? The OTHERS

human rights 4% Don't forget the meaning of equal justice...

overcoming drugs, 4% Easy to say, impossible (almost) to do...

integrating social issues, 4% Remember Equal Justice...

overcoming AIDS, 3% In principle, it is somebody else's problem...(as long as it doesn't touch us)...

reducing organized crime, 2% With equal justice, we would have just a few lunatics as criminals, wouldn't we?

equality for women, 1%. I am a woman, no comment on this point...

All this for explaining that it is ALWAYS somebody else's fault and duty and matter.
But if anyone of us would once ask himself: what am I doing to make a slightly better world? and WOULD just try to do something, may be we WOULD see better results than just complaining and blaming the same...
We say "Piove, governo ladro..."
