A reconciliation? (Raymond ffoukes)
It is a sorry thing to see teddy bears tearing each other to shreds. Friends of teddy bears everywhere, and of all ages, would very much like to see a reconciliation.

In the world of Capitalism, greed, violence and money are the main attributes which feed such behaviour. In many cases, your average capitalist does care a damn about the damage they cause to other people as long as they or their shareholders make a profit. Lying, cheating, deceiving, dishonesty, deception, bribery are a few choice words which would describe the psychology of your capitalist.
There are a very small minority of people who are genuine in their manner and way in which they conduct their business towards the consumer, but the vast majority do it for self interest, greed and profit (the recent behaviour of the banks proves this point).
When you have a Government (the Conservative Party) which encourages and endorses such behaviour, it is not surprising we have such a divisive society of the have’s and have nots. The gap between the rich and poor is greater than ever, and when you have a Prime Minister (David Cameron), going on about ‘ a broken society ‘, I find it highly hypocritical of him to say so when it is his party’s sole agenda which causes to create an even more broken society. The Conservative’s, like capitalist’s, only care for themselves and business, regardless of the short or long term damage they may cause to everybody else. Short term thinking, short term profit and to hell with the long term consequences.
