What is Social Sustainability?

It's a term that I noted in the past week via a forum, and it was thrown out there....without a lot of details.

Basically, it's where you take four key components of our landscape (culture, politics, sociology, and economics) and you blend these into a 'feel-good' lifestyle.

You are taking industry, healthcare, the legal system, the culture system, etc.....and hooking each together.  The end-result?  Well, it'd take a thousand-page book to explain this, but basically you'd be in harmony.

Society existence in this lifestyle?  Well, you'd basically survive with the 'graces' of the community overseeing your needs.

Relying upon that society or community?  That's one of the odd features of this sustainability discussion.

A gimmick built for chaos and revolution?  The more you look over the idea....it's simply a magnet for abuse and mistrust.  A great example is the idea of 'cheap healthcare' or 'reasonable healthcare'.  If you want X-amount of healthcare, but it has to be within this range of cost....then the only way to deliver this is a tax on consumer goods (having nothing to do with healthcare) to dump enough cash into the system for the healthcare you desire.
