Philippe Starck – a new way of thinking about future design

New World Order?

Do we really now find ourselves in the age of “climate” change?

In regards to the irresponsible management and crisis in which the USA find themselves – is it time for them to take the responsibility onto their own shoulders like any responsible adult would or should they be given a “get out of jail free” card?

Whether or not they go for the $700 billion+ bail-out plan, is it time to stop their international line of “credit” i.e. no more borrowing and adding to their already massive debt?

Is it a time for them to reflect upon their way of being/life within the global context and liquidated the current any means necessary, money is king, American Dream – “consumption capitalism” and replace it with a new vision?

Is sustainability a viable option or is it to fragmented (in silos of thinking or debate) for it to have any real immediate short term effect?

Rome rose and fell a number of times before it rotted from the inside out. The USA has come up with some brilliant world leading ideas in the past, can it do it again?
