Actually, I think we should tackle the "do badders" before the do gooders.
Decent people are decent people, no matter where they come from, so I don't think that running anyone down who doesn't pass the famous "cricket test" is fair.
Unfortunately we have a society that almost accepts violence on the streets as inevitable, with some seeing this as the normal way to go about their lives. Added to that, greed is almost seen as a virtue in business. Whether it be City slickers gambling on stocks with no regard for the results of their actions, or bosses treating their staff like crap to increase profits, it's all leads to a poorer society for us all to live in.
Some famous guy once said that you should do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Basically, respect yourself and respect others. If we could get back to something basic like that, a lot of the other problems would sort themselves out. Hey, whatever happened to that guy?
Meanwhile, back in the real world.........
