It is obviously a question of wrong priorities. It seems we have to get started to educate the World in spiritual values (or ethical, or moral, if you prefer). This is the only thing that can improve the World, eventually.
'Tis a daunting task; the governments will not be of much help in this sense, at least in the short term; we have to start doing work on the small scale. Some actions that come to mind are giving the example; organizing discussion groups for ethical principles (the "Zipopo" show comes to mind -
