What have adults, priests, teachers, politicians (remember it's the adults who vote these politicians into power) done anything (ANYTHING) about "civic mindedness, importance of local practices in health care, nutrition and food security, reducing Sri Lanka’s dependency on all things imported" ?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-74717907188753401112018-06-08T15:53:48.325+05:302018-06-08T15:53:48.325+05:30For those who are familiar with this blog, most of...For those who are familiar with this blog, most of Eranda Ginige's points on alternative measures of success appropriate to Sri Lanka has been flogged to death for 10 years and 1,000 entries here.

They are only interested in what they can grab for an easy life in Sri Lanka, and if that is not forthcoming, they have a ready alternative, a secure job overseas<br /><br />Hence it is impossible to make the change you wish, switch to youth.
