A human being in the eyes of government and industry is nothing more than a beast of burden to be exploited.They will work us until we drop,pay us the least they can get away with,drug us with the latest in a string of pretty baubles dangled before our eyes and mire us in a swamp of debt and interest in pursuit of it then laugh all the way to the bank as they watch us scrabble and leap towards their rotten carrots.As long as they are living in, in their own terms, the lap of luxury and their children are safe and sound they really don't give a shit about the rest of us,and the more they say they do the less I'd believe they do.

Meanwhile they use the precious and limited resources of the planet we all live on to churn out their feted buy it today break it tomorrow get the next bigger better shinier one on friday consumer garbage even before it reaches the landfill bollocks.

And ultimately ,who's fault is this? Ours for buying into it.They cannot sell us what we do not want but they will have a damned good go at manipulating us into thinking we do want it.

Ultimately the majority interest rules and if the majority have been drugged by the cocaine of capitalism and they want more of their fix,the rest of us are ultimately screwed.

There will be no end to this until the eco system collapses the seas die and vast swathes of the planet become uninhabitable by our own hand.Frankly and I'm not saying this with any relish,it saddens me greatly, I think the human race needs a bloody great fright,I think we need to be scared shitless before we will act as one and I doubt even that ,human nature being what it is.Wonder ful Wonder  ful Copenhagen will they sort anything out? HA!Will they fuck,they'll just agree to think about it YET AGAIN!

I need to clarify the details of this,times and places.It may be apocryphal but it hardly matters,but I was recently told by a Croatian friend that at the height of the Balkans crisis when food was scarce and people were starving there was a leap in heroin addiction.How was the heroin getting in when it was so difficult nay impossible to get anything else in or out? Aid trucks.Fucking aid trucks.It doesn't matter if that's true or not but it would surprise me not a jot if it were.There's always a buck to be made as long as you've had your moral compass surgically removed eh?
