How is it that lonliness can strike even whilst surrounded by people?

Actually i had an odd moment today.
I was walking through the city centre, and Mars, Bringer of War came on and as it did i felt myself changing.
I wanted these people to burn, to feel what suffering was like, to know that what they currently lived was the good life.
These fools, they parade around in there outfits trying to fit into there groups as if they did not fit into any group and this was all they had.
perhaps we have become too liberal as a nation. We let our government (at all levels) walk all over us and we do not get angry.
When people should be punished (those stupid bloody bankers) they are given money and told not to do it again.
I am aware of the economic cycle, and that this has been coming for a long time (wheat prices fell a while ago which is a sure sign of an impending economic downturn) however noone did anything.
Civil servants spend decades in there positions, if anyone should have seen the signs it was them and yet they did nothing.
A man comes to power and promises us an election, we did not get one. yet noone is complaining.
The media feeds us watered down wine to keep us quiet and sugars it with lies and pretty pictures to keep us buying them and there cohorts stuff.
Too many firemen and not enough cleansing fires.
We are weak in morals, spirit and spine. Tens of men die for there country and we declare it a travesty. I declare it to be the only noble gesture we have left.

To die for ones god is foolish, to die for ones people. That is true nobility.

we buy baubles and mosiacs and hope that these will display our true selves and this is true.
however when we have many baubles, they lose there significance and nothing become but a show of wealth.
Impress me not with your baubles but with your machines. Soft or hard it is irrelevant. As long as the limits of capability are pushed back further still.

In fact my perfect society would be akin to that of the Spartans (including some of there injustices) but instead of mercenaries, let us produce scientists and engineers.
Biochemistry, Robotics, Computing, Electronics and Electrics. These are a few of my favourite things.
