Thinking about the future

Hello all you folks in cyberspace. Today I will rant and roll about the current situation of life as we know it, and how it is starting to fall apart.

Do you realise that the toothbrushes you are using are a byproduct of oil? The creams that you put on your skin. The clothes that you are wearing. Think about everything that's manufactured- the machines that put those items together use oil. Guess what? We are running out of oil. Your life will be drastically different 15 years from now, when the suburbs are rotting.

Thank goddess, tho, really. The air will become so much cleaner, as will the rivers. Personally, I'm looking forward to the time when we have no more papermills that pollute streams with their poisons.

Monsanto. There's a company that you don't hear much about anymore. Makers of Agent Orange and DDT. Now think about how much those two products have fucked up the planet! Entire species and ecosystems have been eradicated, not to mention the soaring amounts of birth defects and death in our our species.

We are killing ourselves for the idea that money actually means something more than life itself. You drive your big SUV around and wear Nike shirts, blissfully unaware that the oil your machine consumes and the toxins it produces will give yourself and your children cancers of all kinds, and that the shirt you paid $75 for earned the maker of it 3¢.

Parallels can be drawn to many corporate institutions: the RIAA commodifies something that has been freely available and fun for thousands of years; in fact, they get it for free, then they package it up and sell it back to you, making money so that they can drive the SUV's and wear the Nike shirts. Oh boo fucking hoo.... recording 'artists' have to wait 2 months before they can get that backyard pool put in.

Don't you see that everything on this planet is inter-related? That every living ecosystem is in decline because we have become so blind for the past 150 or so years? There is no ultimate path of civilisation that we are moving toward. In fact, our blind greed is going to actually send us backward.

When there's no electricity, what do you think the internet will be like???

And usually, this is when I would say, 'Come on people, think about the repercussions of how we live today!' But the people that might be reading this blog aren't the ones in power, and they aren't the ones that I rally against. Those in power will never read this blog unless I say some stupid shit about radically killing off those in power, and even then, it will only be the goon squads coming to get me and quietly putting a bullet in my own head.

It's really fucking frustrating to be aware and alive right now. To know the basic necessities of life are bad for you.... air and water. And to think that corporate fucks want to commodify every single gluon and proton on this planet. (Did you know that certain companies OWN the genetic blueprints to orangutans and most other animals???)

Wake the fuck up and do *something*. Don't just write the dicks in congre$$. We've gotta get organised and get active; take it to the streets and take it back. It's your life and the entire planet's future that is at stake here.

And no one is more serious about it than me.
