The left has lost touch

The left's commitment to reactionary politics doesn't make sense. There is a lot of good in our culture- the challenge is to find it amongst the barrage of cynical reactionary stuff that has been so much part of the 60's generation idea of news since then . After all its broadly "the West"that anticipates, plans and prevents.

There would have been a lot less casualties from this tsunami if it happened in the Pacific. How much more effectively would western governments work if they asked the simple question " how much money would we have for professional services if we didn't keep changing the sructures in which they operate?( a clear outcome of allowing reactionaries to dominate in the public service)
