It's possible to change it. But most people today in power don't care as much because it costs money to find alternate resources and energies. They're only looking for profit in the short term, not really the long term, since they won't be alive in the future to reap the benefits probably. It's like that one episode of Futurama, when the giant garbage ball was heading towards Earth from space. It was something that the past generations left behind. People just let the future generations take care of the problems left behind in by past generations sadly.

The only way to change this is to really set laws and regulations down. Something like, if you use harmful energies, you'll be fined greatly or even jailed if consistently used. That's why people don't burn garbage as much anymore, unless in a private place.

There is an upside to this short-term situation, of course. As time passes, the last chance to act comes closer, and closer. And people, as they are, cannot ignore it forever ( ... )

Most of the corruption is tied to the current government and the fact that private businesses have so much power. Stop the private business abuse and then you can stop most of the corruption. Government corruption should be noted where fund-raising and donations come in. It's like hey, you vote for what I want, and I'll pay you using the premise of "donations/or other funds".

But mainly what I want is to get rid of most of these laws invading our privacy.

Well, it's obviously a bit of a chicken-or-the-egg question on which power you take up to do that. Government and business, in first world countries, have a symbiotic relationship. Since they're both the greatest powers in the world when put together, you have to somehow take control of one without being soiled by the corruption yourself and attempt to restrict the other, or you have to look for an unknown third force of power.

Neither plan has a high chance of success, which is why efforts thus far towards conquering that mutual relationship and interdependency have only resulted in other types of corruption. Communism is the chief example of this, since so far, all of the so-called Communist nations have done little to follow the real ideas of Karl Marx, instead being tainted by the old-world corruption that their rhetoric says they destroyed, alongside new types of government control and power-drunkenness.

Privacy, of course, is something that requires reducing the control of both governments and the corporate world. Of course, ( ... )
