Meandering Thoughts on Pollution, Politics , etc

Article = none , personal opinion.

I got it ! I know how we can reduce pollution ! All we have to do is let the big oil companies go nuts selling us cheap gas...and soon all the fossil fuels run out ! Simple !

Oh , they're already doing that , right ?

Someone should find a way to filter C02 out of the air and turn it into bricks or something. Then we can just ditch the bricks or let them sit in a big pile somewhere or something. Or maybe turn them into fertalizer. Such technology won't be used immediately , but it would be good to have it waiting in the wings ready to go when it all starts to get bad.

Unless you live in LA , where on a hot summer day you dare not go outside or the smog will kill you. Well...I didn't mean local areas I meant wide swaths of areas ...oh , LA is a wide swath of area ? A big super city ? Hmmm....

Well... pollution will solve itself one way or another. Just a question of how many of us are going to survive this "solution" :)

USA political problems are very easy to understand. Really. You see...the nation is too large. Not geographically , but in terms of how many people. And so the corperations get very large, and you get a lot of really really big corperations with tons and tons of money kicking around ... how many politicians can pass up a bribe of a million bucks ? One or two bribes and you can retire for the rest of your life on it. What american can pass on that ?

Have you ever noticed there is a definate scale in the world. The more social ,and even communistic a country is , the better educated their people are. Met a girl from Bulgaria, she had a PhD in chemical engineering. Everyone gets a good education in those places. No jobs to be had once you're done , but everyone gets it. Canada most everyone gets a high school education. Canada's about half way between Communisim and Capitalism. Strong Capitalistic Economy , but strong government to cast a saftey net to protect the population. Universal Health care, Free education , welfare for all , that sort of thing. And america... half of them are illiterate, don't know how to use a computer , easy to defraud, things like that. Best economy in the world, but worst educated population in the world. It's almost like ... the two go hand in hand ... almost ...

I'd ask what good is a good job when you're kid is sick and the medical establishment takes all your money and the kid dies anywyas... but I suppose I'd then have to ask what good is a PhD when there's no job to use it and the medical establisment is terminally short of supplies in a communistic regime. Not sure what conclusion to draw there ... maybe the half way mark is the best place to be sitting or something like that ...

Why do the two Canadian political parties call themselves Liberal and Conservative ? Their policies have nothing to do with being liberal or conservative , and everything to do with being pro-business or pro-people. (for lack of a better term..socialism I guess). Can't they just out and out say who they are ? Can't we have a Pro-Business Party of Canada and a Pro-Socialist Party of Canada ? Why we have to have these meaningless names so I can never tell who is who ?

Why is the american population so pro-business and anti-socialist when they've been burned by big business over and over and over ? Does big business have an awesome propaganda engine south of the (canadian) border or what ?

Why is the word "Propaganda" reserved for hated anti-american regimes ? Those regimes have lousy propaganda because they usually just shoot whom they like and do it in public to let you know where you stand. No propaganda required. Only western nations where you're not allowed to instill fear or shoot the non believers actually use propaganda. The third world communistic stuff is really pretty third rate and transparent to what big business throws at us daily in an effort just to get us to buy soap , never mind make any kind of important decision.


PS: Soap is bad for you. Your skin is acidic and soap is alkaline , so when you use it you dry out your skin and flakes of skin fall off. Called Dandruff. But thats ok , because the people who make soap are happy to sell you a different kind of soap (dandruff shampoo) to help you solve the very problem they inflicted on you ! No worries. Unless you got some kind of open wound you deal with every day , in which case the nurse that comes around every few days to look you over will go tsk tsk tsk , stop using soap it irritates the wound , just use clean water.


Why am I still alive ? My Chrones disease has tried twice to kill me now you know. Both times it was basically random chance that I went to the hospital (didn't think it was serious either time ...ho ho ho ! Intensive Care for you buddy ! ). Was it fate or god ? If it was god, why was it a pack of raving atheists that saved my butt , and not some religious fanatics ? Things that make you go hmmm....YOU SHOULD CONVERT BECAUSE GOD SAVED YOU AND THOSE RAVING ATHIESTS WERE HIS TOOL ! ... or maybe you should stay an atheist and be a tool of god ? The religious fanatics never mention that option for some reason .... :)



Hmm...thats all I can meander for now...I'll do it again later when I get another batch of random thoughts together....
