Obscenity

What is Obscene?

The insane bashing to death of baby fur seals is obscene. Such violence is the domain of horror films and must not continue.


Please do not support this industry.






The use of live dogs as shark bait is obscene. If you must catch sharks to eat then use the leftovers of other catches (burley). Burley seems to work everywhere else. If you think it doesn't work, throw some burley in the water and jump in for a swim. You'll soon find out if the sharks are attracted to burley.


Please do not support this industry.



A factory of process workers plundering the lives of poor, wretched animals for meat is not only obscene, it is beyond belief. When you consider the amount of suffering that goes into your meal, it is obscene to eat it.


Please do not support this industry.

Let's Waste Some More Petrol

I guess we just don't get it





I love this image of a little girl in the streets of Kabul, the picture speaks a thousand blogs.






If we can stop wasting petrol, and this means all petroleum products like plastic as well, we just might be able to help these poor people gain a little more freedom than they are currently permitted.

Who knows, in the next life this could be you. Simply by living a little less high on the hog (what an awful term) everybody could be heaps happier. Explore yourself and find out what's your main area of resistance.

Was Darwin Close to the Truth?

Darwin maybe almost got it right

Perhaps he misunderstood the direction that evolution was traveling ... perhaps it was going backwards despite apparent growth upward.

What if human beings are merely retarded monkeys.


That would explain wars, pollution, murders, white collar crime, and the over-exploitation of the environment and its available resources merely to attain unnecessary wealth. This would explain a world where ego was more important than reality. This would explain the continued voting for politicians in a government of the people by the government for the government despite the fact that everything they do could be done more efficiently by business. This would explain the discomfort within your comfort zone.

By unnecessary wealth I mean working hard all week doing things we dislike doing to get the money to buy things we don't even want or rarely (if ever) use, so that we can impress people that we don't particularly like.


Surely an intelligent race would leave some resources for their children and their children ...

Blogabout

Wotz dis blogabout?

I've sometimes been asked what my blog is actually about. Like, Tony Hogan writes about guitar music, Seth Godin writes about marketing and such stuff, and I blog about whatever is on my mind at the time, assuming I have the time to blog.

There's NEVER any shortage of things to write about as the mind is like a can of worms turning over all the time. Like the situation with transportable liquid fuel (read: oil ... and gas. I guess) wherein we consume heaps of petroleum based products like there's no tomorrow in which our children and their children will have to live, complete with exorbitant fuel prices and heavily polluted environment.

If we really understood how much we are exploiting the gulf countries to uphold our own level of indulgence, I guess we'd cringe with embarrassment, but, not to worry; we're pretty good at just ignoring all the suffering we cause to others, and getting on with the job of making a good lifestyle overflowing with as much of the largess that we are able to cram into our meagre years.

I think therefore I am.

But even if I wasn't, "I'd" probably think just as much as I think now as thinking seems to go on quite well even without me being conscious of it half the time. The duty of the mind is thinking, feeling and willing. The mind does a great job of this, even to the extent of being difficult to control. Impossible might be a better choice of word over difficult.

Nevertheless, thinking, along with ... spacing-out, lost in thought, making plans, wondering, ruminating on some topic, daydreaming, even consciously deliberating are all going on day after endless day in our minds with nary a thought regarding the way we treat others who have a resource that we want for ourselves. I hope this doesn't mean that we are selfish.

Let's not ruin an otherwise good day

Yeah, I know we don't like to think that we could actually be responsible for our own lives and our own actions, but we can accept or reject ... that's what the mind seems to do ... and we can get on with the great western hemispherical dream.
