h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A decade when human rights took precedence over human obligations.

Intriguing, Brit. How so?

You wouldn't perhaps be referring to how ever since the Kyoto Treaty governments have put economic rights above ecological obligation.

Any way you care to look at it Shagbark.
Come on Zelmo_Zale which planet have you been living on for the last decade ?

People in general claim their rights without consideration for others.
The problem is in the main caused by a politicians seeking to put the world to right and ignoring obligations to their own people.

It seems like governments and their people have been doing that at least since the 60s. Perhaps it has become more pronounced during the aughts.

Without doubt. Whatever will the next decade hold ?
