Seems religion has been all over the media again, they had a program on Who Wrote All That Biblical Scripture Stuff, and who cares anyway and then how the churches were next to dead in Australia, but then there are some statistics which reckon there's a core 10% churchy types, and then the big missing religion thingo, that Spiritualism word bandied about everywhere, but don't they realise that religion is the thing that people live by, and they live by TV, they consume what's on TV, they buy all the TV promos and they fall sucker to all the TV imagery and politics, and so we talked about how Murdoch's Fox could do away with George Dubbya-Dubbya-III's reign by simply flicking the switch, that TV empire really does run the thinking, the religious drivel type minds that lap it all up, like I would reckon most of the audience haven't got a clue about history or politics or the Wars or anything much lest it's splashed out on TV... So TV is really their God... That's where they get The Word...
And who owns the Private TV? A handful of men, and who works for them? Lapdogs and liars, so the world is informed by this tragically stupid combination, and the audiences knowledge is none the wiser... And just by coincidence they did a media talkfest on just that type of danger over the weekend, and it is scary what's happened, and even now more takeovers and more monopolies are forming to reduce the spread of voices and increase the specialised influence, it's one of the worst dangers and hardest to fix, given the ideological madness the right wing seems to have on these things... So as usual you get to have ratbags running the media events, even that crazy Reality TV fad is full of unrealism, and publicises the worst in human nature...
What is needed is some sort of regulation of sizes and influences based on populations, like why not so many Licences for so many millions of people, in case of Australia, say a population of twenty million would allow for 20 TV networks where some airtime regulation allowed for really competitive programming and news and current affairs, and give broad brush strokes to the coverage's... Cause TV has become the pulpit and everything that goes into the eyes and ears of the congregations are devoid of other opinion and points of view, it's the most dangerous thing, it lets that Nazi frenzy come to the fore...
Amazing how the tables have turned, the Coalition of Neo-Conservatives, the George Dubbya-Dubbya-III, Tony B Liar and the Little Aussie Wedgie have been dumped by the electorate already, and they all seem to be coming up for election this year sometime, so the truth dribbles out in floods sometimes, I heard where some Bush Inner Circle has turned turtle and released some 19,000 documents of his time within... Saying as how the whole decision making process was to hear these ideological conspiracy theories being put by the Bush cohorts, and then the rest of the governance expected to find something to support them, no questioning allowed, or you'd be charged with treachery, and so it seems the others in this cabal were similarly riding roughshod over the real intelligence, and it was the same over most of the ministries, the economy was pooh-poohed as a second class issue, cause they were on The Crusade...
So in Australia, the scabs have been lifted on the Coalition Govt, and the Little Preposterous Male Model, has become the harried and flip flopping fool again, he's reacting to the polls which show Labor's Mark Latham having a dream run on his honeymoon, tactically allowing the Little Lost PM to hang himself out there defending everything and then bringing in quick simplistic fixes, like Mark Latham had made a point of Boys suffering from lack of Male Role Models and so now the Little Wedgie is breaking down equal opportunity legislation to subsidise men into Teaching careers in Catholic schools, mainly due to the Paedophile frenzy which went up and found male teachers being accused of predatory behaviour, anyway, it shows how this Little Tricky Dick is reacting to put out fires that Mark Latham sets underneath him, but you wouldn't think great of balls of fire in this case... Turns out they were allowing for twelve catholic scholarships!
We were all wondering when the next big demonstration of hatred would rise up, and it's Spain, cause evidently the Spanish Govt were considered to play a big part in the Coalition of the Willing, the explosions in the trains may be some sort of payback for aligning with the George Dubbya-Dubbya-III's Crusade against the Islamic World and the pretext for grabbing power in the Arab World of Oil... So there is this carnage directed at the ordinary street people, commuters, and again an orchestrated attack where some ten bombs were let off simultaneously in the community, what the hell these dickheads think that will do for their cause against USA Globalised Tyranny is beyond any sensible comprehension, but that's Gods Swill type thinking, it has that religious madness element that is incomprehensible and so bluddy stupid, as if any one would vote for bombers, cept redneck rabid Fundies anyway...
And still there's a tendency to blame it on the Basque Separatists, there's an election going on, and there's this continual madness of denying a homeland to a different people, so the Spanish will suffer the trials of Empire and cop the irrational terrorist methods that underground repressed freedom fighters adopt, so it was with Northern Ireland and all the other suppression that breeds hatred and contempt and results in these bloody symbolic attacks... As long as the Western World suppression continues with this New World Order, the Neo-Conservative Empire Builders interfering in the lives and beliefs of these powerless peoples, there will be a continual sniping, and relentless resistance, so they all ought to pull their heads in...
Anyway what I wanted to write about was another one of those times I had recently doing a Music Festival and travelling through the Wilderness of the Snowy Mountains and being away from the TV and News, lissening in to music and gliding through the once magnificence of these magic areas...
So I was thinking about the story of Life again, those long, long, stories of the History of the Universe, the big explanation picture stories that hold the real fascination of being here and alive and able to contemplate it all... And so many little triggers take you through the big explanations, like the beginning of life...
How these small minded fundie types have that sickening conceit about life being created for men, and men being the centre of it all, and all that rubbish about conception and when a human is formed, it's all such a blind alley ridiculous belief systems they have, whereas the Universe itself started with life within it anyway, the potential properties of those atoms and molecules from the very beginning of the Big Bang were there already, all potential life was there already...
And the replications and differentiation comes with the niches life processes finds itself in, the laws and orders are all laid down in the first instance of the Universe's existence and we are distant copies of earlier minute life forms that have the potential to form any where and everywhere in the entire Universe, so the conceit of putting Man at the top of all this is just such a horribly distorted and evil way of thinking...
Even evil is divined into the universe and there's all those mysterious concepts of good and bad, happy and sad, but in reality it's all relative, like the way good and evil Looks are incorporated, you see some faces that appear to have an evil look, the hunters and scavengers have that scary predatory look, where there's also the innocent look, the baby faces, the appealing and cute looks that also prevail, but to each individual life form the methodology to get food and survive depends on having these ways of life... For instance that evil look you see in the George Bush face...
Meat eating requires killing and Man does it every second of the day, the simple definition of life would go along the lines of some complex collections of molecules eating or absorbing other molecules and using them to grow, and then expel droppings for the waste, so it's universal, every living thing basically eats, roots and leaves... The replication of DNA, the zipping up of DNA to acquire adaptations, and the unzipping of DNA to replicate into new individuals, it's a simply wonderful process, but trying to make out it's done by some bloke's dad in the sky is just so ridiculous, just makes you shake your head in despair that human life could be so damnably stupid...
So I was going over the Universal Story in my mind on this trip, and coming down from the mountain type born again Greenie feelings for the planet, this fabulous planet which supports the complex life on it, and has these wonderful aspects generated from Life itself, the atmosphere with it's special balance of gases, the magical clouds and rain processes, the diverse and abundant plant-life which reached out and filled the oceans and covered the surfaces, and the ancient geological histories laid down over eons in strata of the rocks, the continental drifts the bombardment of the matter swirling through the Solar system, the very orbits and sizes of the planets and the examples they reveal of how precious the orbit of the earth is in, that balance of heat and light and gravity and mass, all evolved into this perfect world, or at least until the religious god given conceit took over to farm and burn and destroy it... And that mindset of the developers is still ruining every untouched pocket of nature still left...
It's abysmal how the ruling class of humanity takes on the growth and progress crap to destroy the only lifeboat we have in this huge Space, there's no escape from Earth, and you can't take it with you, it's an age old evolutionary home we have and we're ruining it, so there I was doing the born again Greenie scenario and coming down from the mountains feeling that fervour and inspiration, seeing the light, experiencing the enlightenment they all go searching for, finding it in the science of discovery and fitting the pieces together, and then you hit the bottom of the hills and wind your way through the streets and new developments and the shopping centres and TV antennas sticking up to collect the latest drivel and you come back down to earth and get out your fiddle and look into the mysteries of bluegrass and the intricacies of making eye contact messaging to know when it's your turn to do your solo...
So now it's a real world war, we were talking about how the ball starts rolling and picks up speed, this second attack from the Muslim Fundamentalists will be a bit like the time the second plane hit new York, but that was war on the Globalising USA, now it's spread to Spain, and to terrorise the Spanish, to vote against the Government that was in the Coalition of the Willing, so there will be reactionary feelings aroused...
I wonder if Europe will go down that path to have a go at the Muslims within their midst besides the ones in the Middle East, and what sort of wild fire will that start, like already the French did the Scarf thing in, and now some witness saw a Suspicious Character in a Ski Mask with what turns out to be a bomb at the railway, and then someone gets shot in a shop cause they didn't show remorse, and so little ratcheting up of a racial hatred reaction, so will they bring back the purists? Will the democracy of Europe bring in reactionary policies? What I'm saying is, will they kick the Muslims out?
Seems all this a repeat of history so many times, but this a big scale, well I spose for those who suffer, it's as big as it gets... Rational thinking, and facing the consequences will be lost in a Jihad and Pogrom clash, I wonder what is at the basis of it? Religion is right at the top of the list... As usual...
So because there's only one Superpower and no one else to turn to, there's a pressure valve that's getting ignored and blows up, so when the Soviet Union had another place to go to, now you have no choice, it's a monopoly, it's the same Old Empire saying, Do as I say or else, you're with us or against us, so there's new breed of the Coalition Against the Superpower, it's an age old set up...
So do we do better when there's more than ruler? Even a balance? By the way, that shadow government we have in Australia sitting in the House of Representatives is a godsend... But in the big picture it can only be Europe who says things differently to the USA, but now Europe has been bitten in the railways, what will they do? Instead of building resistance to the USA and disagreeing more, now it might change it's focus to not go ballistic, but to ethnic cleansing, say it, it's genocide again...
And there in human nature is that terrible dilemma, when things go bad some one gets the blame, so with Muslims it's been the USA Empire to blame, now the Empire strikes back, but not out there snitching the oil, but in the local city streets, right next door to those interlopers worldwide, and they will say all the bad things about them, racial vilification will be de rigueur, things will be said to demonise them further, and then they'll have an election, and you know what they vote for, given half a chance... Look at the Tampa incident, that instant fear and threat and outrage to get rid of them, and then turn their backs and don’t want to watch and don’t want to know, and will stick to that strategy once gone down that road, it leads to the final solution, oh, unless good men do nothing that is...
So did Spain vote against their War on Terror Government, the ones who got them into that retaliatory mess on the trains? Does that mean disengagement from the Coalition of the Willing Wankers? Will they still insist on never ending interference in the Middle East, perpetuating the trubbles? No, it looks like the democracy in Spain rejected that Warmongering Government and voted them out, like they will probably do with George Dubbya-Dubbya-III and also Tony B Liar and also the Little Lapdog PM in Australia, so it will all come home to roost, and I spose the Neo-Conservatives will be gone with the wind, till next time, so beware...
The irony of the voting intentions is showing though, like after the first action against Globalism with the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and White House symbols, that attack raised the reactionary strike back, in the Foxy media anyway, and then the Tampa incident to kick out the asylum seekers from Australia won an election, but you could say that was to keep us out of trouble from the inside as well, and then the Bali incident, the bombing in the foreigners nightclub, those religious strikes against morals, and the outrage felt, but now it seems there's a feeling going against those warmongers who got us into the mess, cause really it was the USA which copped the slap in the face initially, but now, by voting for an associating with the USA will mean you get to be involved in the religious wars, the world of the Willing will be like Northern Ireland and that hopeless stupidity...
Seems we were better off when the Cold War had all those barriers against Globalisation, Monopolisation of power is a bad thing... And last night that movie 13 Days was shown where the Kennedy Administration put that blockade around Cuba against deploying Soviet Nuclear Weapons so close to home, but the arguments against escalation were worth hearing replayed, but in the George Dubbya-Dubbya-III White House, it's more of a mad house then ever it was in the early sixties, thing is the fear of the consequences stopped the madness, and just as bluddy well...
We need Europe to develop a better system than Rampant Capitalism and Globalisation, we need Europe to be more socially responsible and regulated and democratic, we need Europe to provide a balance to the bleak future the USA promises, like who wants to live in world of destruction and rip offs, when we could live in a world of Public Services and sustainable environment regulation, regulation is a protection against losing the Earth to development, that's not Progress to destroy the Earth, have a look at the landscape of the Middle East and you can see they've destroyed their Garden of Eden so badly, all that the Globalising Consumers want now is what's underneath it all, the Black Gold... But, it would be better if they bought it, rather than demonise and cop a Jihad... Grease my palm means watch my god bless America lips, idiotic lies from the Burning Bush, I just hope he goes to his black heaven, real quick...
Last night was a glimpse into the future of multiculturalism if not the past, where in the Netherlands there's been a cultural apartheid, put into place by parents of the Dutch kids... They have So-Called White and Black schools, the Black schools are the remnants of the original system and enrol foreigner's children, the standards are lower than the White schools, the White schools cater for the higher education the Dutch speaking kids hanker for...
It's all been done by the Dutch parents withdrawing their kids from Black schools and placing them in fee paying and selective entrance testing White schools... The political conservatives have taken up the cause, they've listed the problems, are speaking about them and all the hush-hush is gone, there is also the language barrier for immigrants where the Black schools don't speak Dutch fluently...
And then there are the Ghettos where the immigrants are packed into the old cities and the Whites have fled... The Political speaker was saying that now is the time to do something, and he was getting huge support... There are also the refusals of asylum, with immigrants being sent packing, the ending of support for asylum seekers...
Well the wheel has turned fully with multiculturalism, I reckon it's as popular as dog's breath, like this Dutch Pollie said, people were now fed up with having the Dutch culture and language and manners and way of life undermined and destroyed by the immigrants, particularly the poorer whites where coming into contact with the immigrants becomes more unpleasant, particularly with the terrorist threats in the back of everyone's mind...
So the Clash Of Cultures is the future, the rejection of immigration and the reversal of these multicultural policies will get the nod now in the coming elections, it's a big winner, the homelands for us homelanders will ring out all over I expect, it's a terrible failure of a social experiment that many said would never work and it's failed miserably in Holland, and underlying all the propaganda about multiculturalism I reckon it's a dead dog... How the hell they will ever clean it up though is the big question for the future generations, like in Moscow the other day a huge youth rally was shouting out those exact sentiments, Russia for Russians, so here we go again...
I reckon the world would have been a better place where all the cultures and tribes whatever had their own homelands and only ever went visiting others... Draw new borders all over the world where people want to disassociate themselves from other groups, have as many small cultures as people want and stop all this foreign interest in other peoples business, you'd only ever get small wars then... Just put walls up everywhere and mind your own business? The borders of course would have to take into account water, and governments should be formed to manage all the waterways and supplies, that will be the first stone in the shoe, and then resources, were the consumers will want to rob the suppliers, so isn't that what we've got right now? Is everybody happy?
Or else a proper United Nations of countries, democracies or not, maybe you can get seats based on numbers even if the last war didn't draw a line around your homelands and included it under someone else's... But if it could just be sorted out on a United Nations scale maybe things would work out better, there needs to be a UN homeland set up for displaced persons, those kicked out need somewhere to go, the rest of the world ought to buy a homeland for all those reffos, they would be in the multicultural soup, they all could have another go in a new homeland... But unless something is done to stop all these reffos running away, the existing cultures will feel swamped, and bring about ethic cleansing on such a grand scale as to make genocide the popular vote...
Given that racism is one of culture's biggest problems, given the history of Imperialism, slavery, the subjugation of every culture which showed resistance to takeover, the genocides all through history, the wars of royal family kings and every other cruel and bullying aspect to human nature, why on earth did immigration and then multiculturalism ever get a run? Looking at the recent histories, there's the American continent taken over by Europeans, the indigenous Asian tribes pushed off, same in Australia, same in Tibet, same most every where that Imperialism reigned, the newcomers take over and introduce foreign plants and animals and culture and language, and the world is then plunged into world wars as well, and now there's the Globalisation push and the force to comply, by threat or promise, carrot and sticks is how the USA used to put it... So what has multiculturalism done for the original inhabitants but drowned them out?
And no one can deny the intrinsic human nature that wants to be with their own like, and will change suburbs, schools, jobs, and social structures to exclude and deny and prevail over anything different... Just basic snobbery will do it, even to their own, in suburban class distinctions and private schooling... They do it all the time, particularly with apartheid and separate development... With all the civil rights fights and the attempts to balance up racial inequities, it still goes on, it's lip service and just ask all the pro-migration business people to have the migrants living next door and filling up the schools and see how they react... These people who actually push for the high migration rates never have them living in their neighbourhoods, and soon move out when the newcomers move in... It's all true, no use denying it, so why is there such a sacrifice of so much civility for a bigger bang in the cash register? Has economics lead us up another dead end? Economics never takes real life into account, it just counts costs, and predicts bugger all...
So, I didn't want to write about racism, and didn't want to become bigoted, and didn't want to see all these instance of it popping up in my life, and don’t want to see the world erupt into that low level red necking, but, I can see it happening, you see the one's who seem to get into control, make money, go into politics, run big businesses and sports clubs and you see the influences, changing, the old world disappearing and the new one doesn't look as good, it's the flashy, the exploitive... And I hear things at the dinner tables, this clash of political direction, like I hear these attitudes about the needy being not worth the trouble and not to expect anyone to look after those less well off, that greedy careless attitude is far more prevalent in the multicultural Australia of today... What a pity immigrants couldn't have stayed home and fixed up their own countries... And then there are the mixed loyalties you see expressed in their religions and sporting clubs, it's more divisive than people admit... The food's good though...
I think there was an expectation that the immigrants would meld into society and become just like us, Integration? What was that word? Assimilation it was, that they would look different but sound the same and have the same values by attending Public Schools, and just be an exotic mixture into the future, but when separate religious schools get set up and you see the differences in treating girls with scarfs and the boys calling Aussie girls sluts and so forth, the pack rapes breaking out, the crime scenes focusing on the foreigners, it all collapses and resentments build and grow and escalate and it does so everywhere, but particularly in the cities where suburbs change into racial ghettos, there's a natural gravitation to it, like who else will buy a house in another racial suburb? So multiculturalism is now a big failure in Australia, and I wish it hadn't happened, so maybe those days of old when there was more homogeneity will be yearned for in the next elections... People will want to discriminate, that "We will decide who comes into Australia" mantra will really be meaning Muslims Out, just like all over the western world, and where will that lead? Thanks George Dubbya-Dubbya-III and ilk, you've really done it this time, and they reckon he gets the Spanish-speaking vote? Duh?...
I knew I shouldna brought that racism stuff up, like the ethnic cleansing issues that could well pop up with the jihad and pogroms following on from the escalations in the middle east, now that they're targeting leaders it's worse still, and to take out that sheik in his wheelchair was way over the top I reckon... But at least now we're getting the real stories with the new book by that Clark security bloke, sacked from the Bush Admin, he has blown the whistle loud and clear on the whole shebang...
What I was lamenting was the post WW ii preoccupation with building up population numbers in Australia, where this country offered ten quid migration fees to British people, then, when they whinged and whined and went back, the governments brought out millions of immigrants, and there was no referendum and no vote and the policies were bi-partisan, so the racists within had no chance to reject these policies, only to show how they felt in everyday life, since then the country had to absorb and house and feed and employ and assimilate mostly European settlers and there was a grudging acceptance of the growth as being an inevitable part of post-war life...
Then the barriers went down and all sorts of non-European people came in and with them they brought religions and cultures really foreign to that Australia... Particularly the feminism streak that saw the treatment of Muslim women as barbaric... So there was a split again, based on those imported differences, and now it's the gap that stands out the most, particularly when there's these WMD Wars and So-Called Terrorism that has everyone on edge...
Thing is, most everyone in the world who isn't English has been taken over, one way or another, in their history, and have taken a voyage away from their homelands to seek the freedom from tyranny or whatever and start a new life, but to contemplate winding the clock back in history for everyone to go back where they came from originally, well that's out, although some people would still pine for their stolen lands and want their property back in their original homelands, like the Celtic people I know, love to think about going home for a look-see...
But even then, the open door immigration policies have that non-discriminatory and non-preferential element to allow in cultures that bring with them religious bigotry and strife on both sides, they just don't mix well, they have values gaps a mile wide and then the trubbles start, well that's where I'd like to draw a line and I reckon most Australians wish that cultures that don't mix weren't brought in, and it's the same all over, because now with the anti-terrorism laws and the ripping up of age old legal protections we are turning into the same bigoted lot as they run away from in the first place...
And then the racists within have a bugle to blow over every transgression and it becomes this simmering rage against a group of people, and of course it drives them together in cliques and they withdraw into themselves till they get shunned and ignored and lose out on opportunities and go feral... They are the pickings for the mullahs breeding contempt and start chanting all that Muslim World garbage just like the xtian USA chants all that Globalism be like us crap...
So we have this huge gap opened up, it's a wound, it wont heal, it's full of infectious ideas and Memes and perpetuates itself into the kids lives and they grow up into prejudices and then hatreds and eventually even reaches into this diatribe... So I'm just looking at it, watching it happen, and hoping that democratic countries have this warmongering Coalition Of The Willing chucked out and replaced with peaceful governments who decry first strike and murdering targeted leaders and abandon punishments without trial and bring back justice with the rule of law uppermost, and pursue rogue regimes through the United Nations...
Now here's the main thing about all the trouble going on with the Clash of Cultures we have the George Dubbya-Dubbya-III Crusade against the Muslims, with all their fundie gods on both sides, and these incredible beliefs they have and this hollow archaic rhetoric they claim about how powerful and protective and whatever they dream up for their respective gods, what the hell has their gods ever done for them? Bugger all, and never ever will do anything cause they just don't exist except in their illiterate minds, there are pictures televised every day of bloody mayhem in the streets, and where's their godly interventions? Where? Absolutely non-existent, so why the hell do they pursue all this religious garbage about gods and Allah or whatever they have, it's so mind bogglingly stupid, why don't they just become born again Atheists and live in enlightened peace, turn on the lights, read science and wake up, demand separation of State and Religion, don't allow religion into any form of government at all, it should mean instant dismissal from power... Amen...
In the meantime we sit by helplessly watching the Bush Admin being dragged over the coals in the USA, questioned over why they went to war, the revelations flowing out now are so much closer to the truth we all knew but had no voice in the media for... So it was a pre-determined intent to wack Saddam and get the oil, just like wiser people were saying all along, and how the USA Presidency had fallen victim to such a rabble as the Neo-Conservatives, there was Pearle and Rumsfeld and Colon Bowel with some Condoliza thrown in trying to justify their stupidity and naivete in their crusade, and that response you get from conspiracy theorists about tactics, such as first strike and overthrowing regimes and prison without trial... Ok? So you become Anti-Bush while still pro-American... What would that stir up, that you whistle blow on the stupidity of it all? Or would they go for the betrayal line and do the Christian thing and wipe you out...
Nope, no WMD under my Desk... Nope, No WMD under that potplant, hmmm, oh here's one, there's a WMD right between my ears, I jes knowed there had to be one somewheres... OH, hahahahahha, hey, what a sense of humour, gees George Dubya-Dubya-III really is having a good ol time cracking jokes over the blood and guts, oh hee hee ha... That'll go down good on the ranch round the barbeque... Cause that's where he's headed...
One of the programs I saw had the feedback loop with kids on TV, they showed how the behaviour displayed as being the This is Real Life type of thing, how to pull faces for the camera, and do all the hand signals, and repeat all the Yahoos, and then see the mimicry and aping of everything they'd seen, like I remember watching tiny kids with those Rangers? Some sort of turtles or something kicking heads in, and these tiny tots did it immediately, mimicking the behaviour and becoming another copycat of these kicks and chops... In the music videos the older kids were aping all the sex displays and giving the come on, just like they'd seen it on TV, but in their eyes there was, in a lot of cases, that shy naivete as if they didn't really have their hearts in it and were doing it out of peer pressure and to be in...
But then they show that threatening pointing finger rap stuff and then they had this band stabbing each other with microphones and acting out brawling on stage, and so you see it coming back in the loop on the news with street cameras catching the roundhouse brawls and seeing these king hits where the heads split open and then cop a kick to boot... It's sick... And there's the videos of cops bashing recalcitrants as well... All it does is teach people how to be dangerous misfits...
But then this program went into the more underground stuff that has to go to increasing extremes to get that renegade support from those kids wanting to assert their independence or whatever, and how gross it has all become, with the lowest acts given the cheer and the more outrageous the dress code the better, and they felt a feeling of belonging to their own era, so this feedback loop was continually becoming more and more outrageous for just that effect, to outrage the conventional social stratas they perceive, and to rebel and derail themselves, and also take part in the other risky behaviours that can kill... So it's a bluddy awfully depressing scenario, to see this television teaching aid prove it's effectiveness so dramatically, TV just teaches and teaches and teaches, it's so effective, it's changed language and looks and morals and standards and spreads revolutions in music and attitudes, and as another example of it's power, brought into focus that seeker of fame thing in those Idol contests...
When you think of remedies for this sort of social disintegration, it's just so reactionary, it might mean never showing anything to kids that isn't a good role model? But that's such strict censorship, but that's what must be going through all those Muslim minds when they claim how decadent the Western World is, so it's true... But then the West looks at the Muslim world and sees amputations, whippings and stoning, and killings for honour? Makes you think that these hellish punishments where meant to cower the behaviours, and I spose it does, to a point...
Just last night there was football game in Sydney that had the beleaguered Bulldogs playing, some of the players were undergoing rape investigations, some had drug abuse, the club had broken salary cap rules last season, the fans represent one of the Muslim migrant areas, and the opposing fan clubs rioted and went ballistic, throwing and fighting and hating, the decent spectators cleared out never to return, and it's all based on TV violence and racial hatreds in Sydney suburbs, like what the hell have we become?
I used to promote a remedy for the media producers, to say that should you wish to show violence to the public, the same program has to show all the consequences, and cover the ambulance, the hospitals, the mourning, the funerals, the police charges, the court cases and the jail sentences, and how much it costs, and that's in every instance, so I thought that might slow it down a bit, otherwise no show... I think one of the Scandinavian countries wont allow any advertising at all targeting children, what a good idea...
So really, the ones to carry the can for all this violent behaviour are the private media owners, and people should ask why TV, the most powerful teaching tool ever, is in the hands of so few moguls and not spread evenly through all the facets of society, cause it's a very narrow minded view being broadcast, and it's appealing to the worst basic instincts and it's doing it for money, there's no urge to educate for the good, it's to create a hungry market and feed it, it's a monster...
There was time when Hollywood reflected those sanguine ideals of moral behaviour, like the Rock Hudson era, ha, America's favourite bachelor was gay, but as time went by, the outrageous became the norm, we went from Leave it to Beaver to Demolition Man whatever, and look at it now, it's a disgrace, but all they have to remove is bad behaviour and violence, not sex or deception or theft or treachery, all that needs to go is violence, the bullying and disrespectful behaviours in children that undermine society, cause it's getting worse, now every other grandmother is scared of street crime...
Oh yes, another hero, there's a bloke in America who's an Atheist and he's in the courts saying as how his daughter is being made to say prayer words like Under God in her classroom, and he's brought up all sorts of good arguments and has the Scientific Proof case to bolster the cause, he's mentioned how Atheists can't be elected in some states due to discriminatory legislation also, and sums up his case in saying the great poser Is There A God remains the question but that these words Under God and In God We Trust on their money is the Government legislation saying there is a god, but that's complete crap, as we all know, nobody ever has any evidence of such a weird claim let alone any proof or substance of any kind, so he has to win if truth and evidence rules...
He also said how it undermines his parental authority with his child being forced virtually to comply against her will, and the peer pressures and bullying of other children and teachers can harm her progress in school, besides being unconstitutional... It's always so good to see the Monkey Trial story and all the underhanded treachery these xtians and such do to get around the American Constitution, where it's clear that the Government has no rights to proselytise and push dumb religious rubbish downs intelligent kids throats, it's disgusting to see these xtian bigots create trouble for children, and the rest of the world for that matter with their archaic claptrap, they ought to go back to school themselves and do Science, a bit of physics and chemistry and biology and history and astronomy and more importantly even philosophy and ethics would perhaps bring them into the modern world and get them off the crusade... America needs to be born again Atheist...
Seems there's a sharing of opinion with that Carney? The Archbishop of England? He comes out saying how the Islamic world was stuck in time, unable to progress or modernise and develop anything new, and still live in mainly backward lifestyles whenever the Fundies get their way, so fancy that, he's been into the Cave perhaps, but coming from a xtian zealot how does that go down with the Muslims? On a crusade is how they'll see it, but he appealed to the moderate Muslims to do something about the hardline fundies, thing is, the religious thing to do with non-compliance is, as I said, wipe it out... Stick your head up and the idea of free speech gets the same treatment that the Union leaders get from Capitalism...
