pick something you like to do and try not to be part of the problem, which of itself might be considered part of the solution(that is-not being part of the problem) anything more than that might be wishful thinking, but sure, trying to do something "good" is alright...if you enjoy it and don't expect too much. The chances that we will actually have much impact or "save the world" are probably small and it would be best not to put too much hope into that. But if everybody does a little bit, it could add up to alot.
Dear Mr. Howard, Congratulations on you recent trip to America. It must have been a great triumph for you. Of course, I am fully aware that you will probably not ever read this letter, nor be aware of its contents, but I will try to speak to you just the same. Mr. Howard, when did it occur to you that Australia would like to be like America or anything like it for that matter? Most Australians are very happy or at least satisfied with what we have, despite our hospitals falling apart. (Unless you are very very rich.) Did it ever occur to you that most Australians do not admire America? Do you realize that the concept of New World Order is totally evil and self serving and will treat all citizens as cattle; branded cattle? Of course, it is very convenient to have a deal with the media to always support you and it must be very nice to feel that we are all mushrooms and easy to manipulate. But Mr. Howard, we are not mushrooms and we are all very very wise to what is going on. We do NOT want national ID cards nor the fear of being sacked when we go to work. WE DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN FEAR, we want to be creative in peace and security. We understand the manipulative powers of the New World order and we will not succumb nor will we listen to your propaganda anymore, especially concerning the supposed threat of terrorism that is meant to have us shaking in our boots. Do you hear me, we are not afraid. We do not want to be like America. It is a country in decay. All education needs to be free, all health care equal and free, going to work ought to be a joyful experience and all food too ought to be free, if you must know, though gone are the days of Lemuria. Mr. Howard, why must you try to inflict, this terrible control over the Australian people. Is it because you were teased at school and want to pay us all back? Is it because you still hurt inside? May I suggest a counsellor rather than hurting us, as I’m sure your wife and family really love you. Sir, do you know why the new world order are trying to do this, to control the world? It is because they have made a pact with the draconian and orion star systems to sell our planet to them, that’s right, the people you are meant to serve included. See the draconian (lizard-type reptilian beings) apparently like to eat human flesh and they are exchanging technology with the Americans to claim ownership of this planet and apparently us. You are trying to turn us into fearful drones Sir, and you are either very unaware or very very evil. But did you know there are good guys in this story, the Galactic Confederation? These are made up of humanoid friends from the constellations of the Pleiades, Vega, Sirius, Arcatura and Lyra systems. They are our friends. They have technology and consciousness far superior to the draconian and orion systems. They would like nothing more than to be our friends and help us advance and grow into The Galactic Confederation and stop the rape and pillage by the draconian/orion beings. So, on behalf of the people of earth I would like to say that we belong with The Galactic Confederation and not to the draconian/orion constellations. We would like to know The Galactic Federation in preference to the draconian/orion beings. And we are a free planet that does not belong to any other race of beings. Well Mr. Howard, who would have thought, Star Wars (the movie, by the way) right in our own backyards? So I would end this cruel rule by deceived leaders of the world to say that the people of earth are free and belong to no-one. That Pine Gap and Area 51 are nothing but pits of deceit. That we are star children who belong with the Galactic Confederation. Now to the demands: 1. You will let his letter, in its entirety, be public. You will post it out to every TV station and newspaper in this country, and quickly. This way, everyone will know and be aware. By doing this, when you are tried for crimes against humanity, your sentence may be more lenient. 2. You will stop this ridiculous association with the new world order. 3. Failing this, rains of fire not seen since the days of Sodom and Gomorrha will rain down upon Canberra’s parliament house in a circle of fire. Then maybe you will decide to do the right thing and free us from this stupid threat of enslavement. Of course you can do the righteous thing and follow instructions 1. and 2. and save yourself a lot of fear. Yours faithfully A. Witness Oh, and to the person reading this letter initially, please see that this gets to the hands of the Right Honourable Mr. John Howard ASAP. This is not a joke. All that is stated in demands 1. and 2. need to be followed to avoid 3. This is a personal letter to Mr. John Howard and not to be chucked in the bin. And no, there is no anthrax enclosed.
why is the thread topic one question and the poll a seperate and totaly unrelated other question? fix the us: stop worshiping the automobile and rewarding aggressiveness. humanity's survival: sure, with maybe a big dieback along the way, or not, depending entirely on conditions created by incentives created statisticly by priorities actualy lived by. what these two questions have to do with each other: total mystery. =^^= .../\...
I think if you look at how humans have altered their technology over the last 1000 years and the rate at which technology is developing theres probably another huge technological revolution on the way very soon - between 2 and 20 years away in an area of science or technology that will surprise everyone - on the scale of something like nuclear energy or the invention of the aeroplane but it will be something not many of us have thought of and will provide a completely new way of living like a 3rd industrial revolution My own opinion is that human energy will be directed at saving the planet either by cleaning up pollutants or by getting off this planet and colonising another Maybe it would be that revolution would be about getting the USA's establishment organisations to accept they live on the same planet as the rest of us
You can't fix the United States, it's like a trophy that's been melted, all you can do is get another one.
So true. I wish I could do something too! I'm not sure what. Giving up feels so much easier... And that's why most people are apathetic. People need to get angry... stirred up... But they won't... Something's gotta give though, or we're in trouble. Makes me so angry! What we're really looking at here is finding a fool proof solution to the fact that people in power turn greedy and corrupt. Yikes.
excellent point. America is still stuck in a different phase of Isolationism (a concept of US history that is NOT taught in US schools... interesting. no?)
