We just have to agree on what we really desire.

Therein lies the crux. The majority of people today are so divided by the small, unimportant issues of everyday life that they are unwilling to admit there is any common ground when it comes to the pertinent matters on which they actual agree. I do see a shift in this mindset however. Like the 100 monkey hypothesis, when a critical mass of the population can see passed the unconscious programming that has permeated our society over the last few millennia, we will finally be able to move forward into a more prosperous future for all. I think we still have a long way to go before the curtain can be pulled back, but the curtain is in sight, and the light on the other side is growing bright enough to light the way.
