2012

2011 nearly over, 2012 soon to start.
I make a prediction; the same, incompetent, self serving politicians will continue to lie and line their pockets at our expense. Bankers will, of course, continue to be at the forefront of society. Filling their pockets even ahead of the politicians.
The police will have their numbers reduced to match prison sentences. Obviously the real criminals never even go to court. Bankers, politicians etc..

Of course, we will pay more for transport, it's the green tax thing. I mean to say, all that greenhouse gas we don't produce by using trains and buses. There is a problem with public transport though. You can only use it if there is some available. In rural Flatshire, we don't have any trains, Mr Beeching saw to that. Buses are rarer than fruit bats. Of course we mustn't pooh on our own doorstep, we only have one habitable planet, and  we are currently residing on it. However using the excuse of being 'green' to raise more in tax is wrong. Especially as so much of it is frittered away on none green things.
Eyjafjallajokull, of course, produced tonnes of CO2 and other gases. (Though, apparently the grounding of aircraft reduced the global CO2 output) However, Eyjafjallajokull is only one volcano, others are available, erupting nearly continuously, producing tonnes of CO2 and useless hot air. Politicians again.

We look at places like N Korea. And we despair at the poverty of the man on the street, and yet I feel that our moral poverty is worse. They have nothing and need many things, and have lots to gain by rebelling. We have lots and wont rebel because we have lots. Not things that we really need. If we were in poverty, we have charities, and government departments to look after us. Until we have nothing will we actually do something, by then it will be too late. We will be assimilated by the New German Empire.

I see that lots of fireworks are being let off all over the world to celebrate the new year. Lots more greenhouse gases, lots more money up in smoke. Pity they have the day wrong. The real new year was on the 22nd December.



On that happy note, I wish you all a wonderful 2012.
