twas ever thus,i believe a tiny handful of people make decisions that affect the whole world and it ALL revolves around money,i am reading a book about the history of the whale and whaling,the poor old whale funded every war with its oil,it fed nations with its blubber,got turned into margerine,fertiliser,fed our children in"vitamin health products",lubricated our space ships and deep sea chronometers as its oil doesn't freeze and covered our hands with its blood for centuries before we woke up to the horror of what we had done(or the fact that the whale was nearly extinct and therefore couldn't make the corporations any more money,oh and the fact that whale meat,oil,products are now so contaminated with strontium 30 and other lovely side effects of mans messing with shit he shouldn't be messing with,that anyone who consume's whale products is likely to die of cancer or some other life shortening illness,the whale will have its revenge.......so er...the companies have walked scott free after centuries of abuse and exploitation.....oh and er.....all you Japanese,Icelandic and Norwegian readers of this forum have a care.......the whale is in all your bodies you still use whale products for all of your societies needs from soup to soap)
where was i.........oh yes money.............i am not a hippy,i don't have"dream catchers"at the end of my bed,i have a one year old dog instead
..............but i think it was red cloud who said"one day,the white man will learn...........you can't eat money"
The UTTER INSANITY of our refusal to seriously engage with climate change,deforestation for logging(money again)endangered species(currently a hundred species of plants or animals a MONTH are being wiped out forever)and other insane practices that are already seriously affecting our planets ability to sustain life,our own included folks,........the utter fucked up pointlessness of all those"climate conferences"run by fuck wits who refuse to deal head on with the issues and fumble the ball EVERYTIME...................i wonder how long all those big piles of gold,diamonds and jewels will keep those bankers from dying of hunger,thirst,or being melted by the sun once the ozone layer is gone?
jewels,gold and diamonds are forever.......people aren't........Dylan said"money doesn't talk..............it swears"
sorry to hijack your thread mate but i am along similar thought patterns at the moment.......i seriously think all those bankers should just simply be taken out and shot,i am surprised at how placid we have been over it all,they have been revealed at last for all their evil practices that have been going on for centuries and we have done fuck all about it,don't look to the limp dick politicians to sort it out and punish them they are being bought one way or another too
in a nutshell...............c"""s the lot of em
