I am sure even the humble but prodigious cockroaches would agree, and they can get around for quite a few days without a head, as some humans figuratively do, and survive whatever nuclear holocaust and global incineration you want to throw at them.
Nice post MrK.

greed is our main problems! here is an example, some people have like billions of dollars and other have like what 0 cents, those people with billions of dollars they become more greedly and thurst for power, if i have a bill i would give half of that to the people who really need it (researches for sickness(cancer, aids, and all the ugly stuff) give some money to the people living in africa (those people are so poor), no use for the money to just sit in a box cover in steel. so y don't we donate some money to those who really need it?

Eliminating all the negative things about our current society is an impossible task and will never happen.
Sure you say "Natural health" but what are you going to do when your mom has Cancer and needs the latest high tech medical treatment to cure it are you just going to let her die or will you want to keep her alive?
I'm sure for every one that would say let her die, there would be thousands more that would want her to live until she can live no more.
Your society is what one would call a utopia but it is impossible do to natural human instincts and as much as you like to think we are no different from animals we still are and we will continue to be corrupt and kill each other until the earth is laid to rest, in other words life sucks deal with it.
