So we all know that about the current financial crisis that the world is currently going through, well I assume if you are using the internet you have, I think it would be hard not to know about it. Okay anyway where I live, Queensland, they are building tunnels under the Brisbane.
On the news recently they say that one is about done but the North direction tunnel is facing problems. They are having financial issues. The news then goes on to say that the city is thinking of going over seas for aid to get this tunnel built. Hmmm...
We can not do something because of the financial crisis our money is short, so we will borrow more (in the midst of the financial crisis) See my problem.
I hope so. This tunnel I would think will be a multimillion dollar project, hundreds of millions, billions I would think. And not of vital importance. The city could survive without it for a little longer. Even if they just waited till the financial crisis has settled, been fixed. Then seek assistance. But doing it the mist of the crisis which they keep claiming is so bad.. is just plain silly. Do they want to get the city in trouble..? If they claim we can easily pay back the debt (that would have to include interest) then just wait, get the money up....
Starting to do circles so I'll leave it there for now.

side note: do believe I have mention my belief that they are not just drilling tunnels for transport, but they are/ very well could be establishing and/or expanding a underground base/city.

The world isn’t exactly improved greatly since the 60/70’s. I mean it is just as shit now as it was then. We still have wars, racism, inequalities. Where is the outrage? Where are the protesters, the people speaking out? Where s the public out cry. With the Vietnam war, race equality, they.. People of that time were passionate, outraged.

I do not get it. Where is the activism? What happen to what appeared to be such a strong movement? All that energy, the caring, the concern, the passion. Now more than ever every man woman and child is able to speak out and put their voices thoughts feeling outrage out there. That is one of the good things about the internet.

Disappointed in my species, my generation, the world. Giving up ones freedoms for security is madness. Giving it up for a sense of  security is worse.. And the sense of security is really all those who are offering can truly deliver. There is no real security in what they offer, and many people know this yet everyone plays along. Giving up one liberty after another, and before we know it we will be monkeys in a cage. Let out only to turn our designated cog, or press our designated button to keep the world turning.

It would be nice, it is a nice thought anyway to think that there are enough outraged people that maybe… maybe the voice of the public, the people can be heard. I do not believe that shouting and screaming is the method, like it was in the revolutions of the 60’s and 70’s. These days screams and often ignored. Whispers on the other hand seem to always draw attention. Spread the whispers, share the knowledge. Everyone has the right to know, Everyone has the right to choice Everyone has the right to freedom. Freedom they choose not one that is thrust apon them. Here is hoping that one whisper blends with the next, and the next… before long the voice of the outraged will echo in the wind for all to hear.

When all the sheep are dying their fleece the sheep whose fleece is white is the freak.

I think disillusioned would be the best way to describe how I feel. Disillusioned and disappointed. I do not, am not claiming that I am perfect. Far from it. I am human. And I embrace my humanness. Yet like so many in the world I get distracted entrapped in distractions that keep us from being outraged and being passionate about those things that do matter. Like freedom. Yours, mines, theirs. Those ever tempting ever feeble mindless disstraction that are thrust apon us and keep us from asking why from being passionate being outraged. I mean you see flares of passion sparks of outrage. Glimmers of what is best known as hope.

Really wish I know what to say, what to do. I feel all I can do is speak, write. Voice MY outrage MY passion. For these things have been known to spread like wild fire. If there is spark is bright enough. There is definitely enough friction in the world to cause a few sparks. Life just needs to be breathed in to the fire. So much outrages me that I have trouble knowing where to being. Its not one thing that is wrong, it is everything. Its hypocrisy, ignorance stupidity it’s the window gloss. A pretty frame to distract from a no so great picture. The illusion of effect. Example putting laws, new laws in place. That sound good  and in good in theory and in implemented in practice is all well and should be done. But if you are unable to enforce the laws you already have; placing more laws on the ever growing list of laws because they sound good and make the people feel better is pointless. And enforcing them on a haphazard basis does little to affirm law and order. People get away with things… talking on cell phone while driving, riding a bike with no helmet,  more often then they are  punished.  Then they go add more, again sounding great and giving the illusion that something is being done. It will only cause outrage and contempt in those very few are caught and punished. Even the punishment is not really a deterrent. A fine, an annoyance, upsetting revenue raising fine. But the person is likely do it again. Human tend to do things they have success with. So if I have succeeded at riding my bike a hundred times without my helmet and go away with and get caught once. I am likely not to bother buying a helmet if I do not own one and not going to put it on if I do. Such posturing laws with are regularly made and rarely enforced is something that continues to be a source of outrage.
