Do we need intel?

seami

Im totally lost with what is going on, in our country, as Im sure most decent non political folk are. Why are
we in this mess? We all know the answer to that, corruption in politics and business, they go hand in hand.
But yet the same folk are still in power, nobody has been held accountable. Why are the same people in
power?
In one sense I think it is wonderful that this has happened. It brings alot of people down to earth with an
almighty bang. These greedy money hungry dogs deserve it. But what about the normal workers? MONEY, GREED, MY
HOUSE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS ATTITUDE, LOOK AT THE CAR THAT IM DRIVING/helicoper Im piloting (ridiculous!), My
house has 8 bedrooms (its a complete farce!).
Thankfully I wasnt silly enough to buy into all of this (nor none of my family has been, we were brought up with a sense of cop on & normality at an early stage). Money, Money, Money.

What if we had no money (now we dont)?. What do you think society would be like? Would we be fairer, more just? Would there
be more of a community feel? Would there be less suicides? would there be less crime? Would we be happier? Would we be outcasts? Would this matter if we could cloth, feed, and educate our children? Is it possible to go back to a community way of living after being exposed to what are currently?
My question is: Is Ireland able to survive without any international intervention? Can we live by ourselves alone? grow all the food we need? Do we have enough enery resources to keep the 'average' person warm? Do we need the likes of Intel? Thanks.
