Who wants to be a machine?

Am reading Daniel Goleman's book Social Intelligence at the moment, I am engrossed. It is a book I would like to have written. Although I am also frustrated that common sense has to be proven. why can't heart and love be proof enough. Why do we have to have a study to prove that kids who kill are frustrated and that a lack of physical and spiritual playgrounds are contributing to this. I can't wait for us to fast forward to the time when we see straight again when the voice of reason doesn't have to have a roi price tag or be proven in court. Can we not all agree that we want and are willing for a more just society and just get on with the job in hand?
