I have decided to just sit here with an open post and comment on the world as it passes my shelf, which it seems is too high for a variety of things to happen.
Anyhow............Greece eh? Seems to me the bigger boys in Europe are bullying little Greece into doing as they want to protect their game, (the Euro), and they don't seem to care a jot about Greece or its people. They are, it seems, expendable as long as the big boys survive. However, I can only see it ending in tears, as all bullies eventually do, as it's gonna get them all in the end. Thank God we are not in the Euro.
In the meantime, the 1% will carry on shafting the 99% as long as possible, but even this game will have to end soon. I do fear civil unrest and riots of a nature never seen before across the world over the next 5 years. It cannot be right that the people to carry the can for the utter greed of a few are those least able to suffer the constant squeezing and shafting.
But, as I commented on my Facebook page to the annoyance of some now ex "friends", the establishment is very clever in keeping the majority "asleep" to the truth. What I mean by that is that various "comfy" distractions are all around that take our minds off the feeling and fact that we are all being buggered stupid where it matters.
X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Big Brother, Eastenders, The Only Way is Essex, and other such programmes flood our TV screens, and "celebrity" stories in magazines and newspapers turned into episodic salacious drama, all serving to turn the head, and keep us "sleeping".
The world is centred on the latest iPod iPhone iPad making sure we are a planet of iNosee iNodo an iNohear people. We are all Arsene Wenger...........we didn't see it! We are outraged at Blackberry "going down" for 4 days, but not even mildly annoyed that 80000 children died from simple starvation in the same period......... Maybe blissful ignorance is better? The trouble is that once you know the truth you can't un-know it, and being "awake" is all there is.
He's a nutjob, but in parts he may be right.
Consuming has taken over from learning. It seems to be all about competition rather than education as far as our children are concerned.
That's all for now.
