Thank you. Some acknowledgement is always nice. I never get it at home as Veritas is always one step ahead of me. 
I forgot to add Burning Man.

Man I really want to go to Burning Man. The entire experience sounds beautiful. Hopefully someday I'll save up enough to go.
Veritas is a clever one!

I guess I'll have to get rid of her or I'll never get any glory.

Agh, who cares about glory when you've got love?

There is more to life then love as I have recently learned. But I was joking so I agree.

I stated that it is as it should be, as it is the way it is right here, right now, as an inevitable result of all that has brought it forth.
Cause and effect designates what "should" be.
I never addressed what I would prefer, or what change I or others would influence, which is what these questions quoted pertain to.
 Peace.

if you read further you'll see the poster was asking what you would you prefer, he meant how things "should be" in order to best please you or conform to your idea of an ideal society, not how they should be in reguards to cause and effect. i thought that much was obvious.

Communication must change.
We must all appreciate eachother and what each one of us has to offer.

Well no doubt. I expressed that society should be as it is (as it should be because of cause and effect) in order to best fit with my conceptions of how a society should be. My ideal society would be one that is in regards to cause and effect. I guess it should have been obvious that my answer to his question was my answer to his question? 
The point being that, any preferences that I would hold as to what change would result will naturally be produced by interaction within that society as it is now. I stated that it is as it should be. Realizing this is the first step towards change.
The fact that I did not answer the question as you would have preferred does not mean that I did not understand the question. Perhaps you'll have to include that society should be something wherein everyone answers as you would like them to?
I mean, honestly, sometimes one will feel like making additional, related points. Not to mention the fact that conforming a wildly dynamic, interrelated system such as a society to one individual's preferences will be detrimental to that society, which exists as the summation of everyone's preferences and their pursuits of them.
 Peace.
