I am gradually putting together my own thoughts on the mess we're in and have been for years, in journals. I think what we are looking for was summed up very well in the Pink Floyd song "Wish you were here" with the lines: "And did you exchange.... a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?" This is the thesis for my writings. I must get them in order. Nearly finished "Times Up" by the way. By all means use the phrase and put it to good use in your writing.

If they did we wouldn't be in this mess now. The media only cared about stoking up the potential for violence and were just waiting for it to kick off. Those of us who know something is wrong with the current version of civilization need to be subtle and careful to get beneath and between the cracks of this mess. It is obvious that world leaders do not know what to do (to them it's an attempt to get back to where we were, a temporary set back on the glorious path of growth), so we must help them, show them. It should be seen as a kindness. You’re right about the protests changing nothing. If they did we wouldn’t be in this mess now.
