The most frightening Wicked problem today is that we have academics/politicians, who think like this bloke.
Quote; in the 1970s we instituted the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Today we could, if we wanted, get rid of nuclear weapons altogether. Anyone who actually believes this must live in a cacoon, or under a rock. Has he not heard od North Korea, or Iran. Does the fool really think either of them are going to give up their nuclear weapons, now they have them. Does he also think Israel would survive for more than a month if it did not have it's nuclear weapons. Only a fool dreamer could believe there is any chance of them letting theirs go. That these dills get into parliaments, or get their stupidity published is yet another "Wicked problem" we need to solve, or he would have us living only under the control of Kim Jong-un. With friends like this bloke, who needs enemies? Posted by Hasbeen, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 9:23:19 AM

Australia has the uranium to make a nuclear family-size nuke for the Developing world through overseas aid $3.8 billion this year. Unemployment here will hit rock-bottom / ground zero and Koreans will be invasion-proof like Bolivia and Botswana. Japan won't get any nuke-fitted whales or elephant ivory.

The 'servants' perspective, from the Australian Public Service Commissioner, [more limited than I would have thought}, http://www.apsc.gov.au/publications-and-media/archive/publications-archive/tackling-wicked-problems Meanwhile, the political 'Masters', the political elite, and the taxpayer-funded $1.3billion 'their' publicity machine the ABC, have had a much more pressing 'Wicked' matter on their minds, http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-13/same-sex-marriage-traditional-electorates-may-be-ignored-by-mps/8941410 Latham WAS right, issue like 'Struggle Towns', unemployment, drugs etc are way less interesting to federal politicians, "Former Labor leader Mark Latham slams Labor over gay marriage FORMER Labor leader Mark Latham has slammed his party’s “obsession” with gay marriage saying it should focus on the nation’s “Struggle Streets” instead. ... He said the biggest social issue facing Austalia was unemployment, drug use and homelessness in suburbs such as Mt Druitt which was the focus of the SBS documentary, Struggle Street. “If you are interested in equality and social justice in Australia then what was the really big event in the month of May,” he said. “We had the Struggle Street documentary which revealed that in the nation’s public housing estate, most notably in Mt Druit people live in conditions that you wouldn’t wish upon your dogs. Absolute chaos, despair and hopelessness in their lives. “And surely, you would have expected a serious national response from the party of social justice? “We didn’t hear anything. “They’re obsessed, instead, by gay marriage.” http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/gay-marriage/former-labor-leader-mark-latham-slams-labor-over-gay-marriage/news-story/6c89f7077536bf321ee40c25946e6f0f Posted by leoj, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 10:59:46 PM

'Wicked' problems?
What about the wicked problem' that confronts the electorate and grows perennially, the federal politicians who are exceedingly well paid and enjoy golden entitlements forever more, but pose and pose and do squat where the real wicked problems are concerned?

For the last time runner, take the drown em out, earphones out of your ears, to just listen.
Scientific research has found a gay gene.
YES, THERE IS A GAY GENE.
Not one, but several down near the bottom of the double helix, DNA spiral!
As always with brainwashed from birth, troglodytes. Brainwashed belief trumps science.
Thus we have a flat earth society, bone pointing witch doctors and runner and his cohort? Who simply conflate bull queers and peadophiles as belonging to the normal human abberation known as the gay community!
And a very successful ploy by the worst offending peadophiles, hiding in plain sight and getting away with their inherently evil, covert activities by screaming their foam laced invective at the gay community!
With who the PIOUS PULPIT POUNDING, hiding in plain sight, offending paedophile priests have absolutely nothing in common with, RUNNER!
