Ranting.

Wow it's been a long time, hasn't it? I keep meaning to post but August is never a good time to catch me doing anything that isn't working or sleeping. This year was no exception, with a full time job and volunteering on top of that I'd completed a 250 hour month by the end of it and slept for pretty much a week following it's completion. But my life is now ready again for me to have the sapre time to blog on this shiny new computer (courtesy of the work).
There have been many things flicking through my head that I meant to post on here, so lets see if any of them have overcome the ravages of time, shall we? After this songs finishes, anyway, because it transfixes me a little with visions of a war that still causes problems to this day. Poor Eire and N.I.
It looked as though peace was in hand, so close to it we could taste it, and whether the right side won or not, finally the dust was dying down and the people could bury their dead and console themselves that what they fought for was gone, the war was over and no more need die. I can only look at it from outside, and from outside I know who was wrong, but to state such things make nothing more than more conflicts, and there have been enough arguments over it now, there are enough enemies as it is. But it's starting again, and I fear for the children in the proud cities, with their proud histories, their proud religions, and their proud dead. When will they learn that glorious dead are still dead, and you can't hold what's left of a hero.

It's odd how civilisation as barbaric as ever, no matter what efforts are made to direct it. We talk about debate, and democracy, and freedom...and all the other buzz words that make people think that things are good ideas, but when did you last actually look at what we term freedom?
I've not seen freedom in a long time. I see people living under rooves they can't afford, borrowing stacks of cash that don't exist to buy the latest thing that the TV tells them they have to have, paying taxes, paying to live, paying for fire, water, shelter, and to live with their own kind- because if you don't pay, you are ousted, and left without. These things are the things we need to LIVE, not to enjoy, just to survive and they cost more and more of this stupid paper that has no value outside of bankers heads.
Debate the solution, now theres a fucking joke. When did you see anyone debate in the last war on terror? You fucking didn't, people stormed in, said that their rules weren't inkeeping with the ideals of freedom (HAHAHAHAHA so freedom has rules now, lets follow this little train) and killed them. So civilised, so mature, we're so much better now, storming into countries and ripping out their leaders and hanging them- you really are all still five years old and showing how strong you are by throwing worms at girls to make them scream. People on the streets still punch each other rather than talk out their problems, admit it, we are a violent society, and it is perpetuated by the way the country is controlled.
Democracy is the choice, right, we get to choose which lying corrupt rich dual home owning fatcat capitalist we slave under woohoo what a fabulous concept. Freedom to choose- from the selection only. What a pile of horseshit.

The long and the short of it is that freedom is a joke, and it's misrepresented. Freedom is to do what you want, not to do what they think you want, or to do what you want out of the selected options that the higher ups have decided are fair or just. We couldn't live under a free rein, don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting we try, christ, the number of egomaniacal lunatics that live now, the number of psychopathic killing machines when we HAVE rules are enough to scare the bejesus out of most people.
We are animals, we may be more sophisticated than most but we are still tribal, change hating, self-centred, xenophobic, greedy little bastards who think that to have more than we need of everything is our right. Look at how children behave when they see someone who looks different, they kick people to death for wearing black, thats all it takes. And are the adults any better? Of course they aren't, where do you think the kids get it from? Adults are worse, if anything, hiding the straightforward fear and hatred of anything that doesn't fit into their world order behind lies about it being unhealthy, unholy, unpleasant or anything else they tell you about it.
To remove the hand over the mouth of this would be catastrophic. The wave of crime that would flood the world should you begin such a stand would wipe out entire countries, mentioning no names America, the country who not only charges for the essentials but also charges people who are dying for what they need to survive, you soul sucking bastards. Freedom would include rape, murder, paedophilia, profiteering, slavery, trafficking, and a lot of other things that the lack of freedom is working against. Freedom would immediately give the strong power over the weak- it's a natural advantage. Society would become regimented, another ladder of power no better than this one, and with more brutalisation and less lies.
Everyone with the real definition of freedom now? There no flowers there, theres no wide open spaces, theres this pseudo-land of industrial smokes, constant murder, mob rule and would be uncannily like the criminal underworld of this reality. Call it something else. Control will do fine. We all know thats what it is anyway.
I don't know what would work. Don't ask me. I know that is a very snitty thing to do, point out the holes and not point out another solution but it's not something one person can do alone. Which means given the fact pretty much the entire world is out for number one, it's very unlikely to happen.
I have been thinking about a set of rules to replace the ones we have, but it's not something that works very well.

Fuck I hate money. That is the crux of most of societies problems, this stupid currency shit, some of this for more of that got to make a profit got to make money to spend on the other things and the other things have to make a profit to take take take cheat cheat cheat. Why isn't something worth what it's worth? It's worth whatever the other person needs which won't be inflated because nothing else is being overcharged, it's not that fucking difficult to see, and then the people who hold the money taking bits off everyone to make their own pile, more and more and more, so now it really has got to the point where they have it and no one else does and they just keep charing each other little bits while people squabble over the pennies they drop and rather than say right you stupid bastards you've destroyed the economy give it back they take the pennies of the little ones and give them to the bankers to fix the economy with- it'd be funny if it wasn't real. How long do you think it will last until people start to starve to death, how do you think the NHS is going to survive given you are taking their fucking money, the money from the HOSPITALS you IDIOTS another of those things no one should have to pay for, the right to be cared for when they are sick, and firing them to make more money for the PEOPLE WITH ALL THE MONEY! Oh my god why is it that this is so transparent to everyone but the people telling everyone what to do?
And the system you're all trying so desperately to save DOESN'T FUCKING WORK! It proved that when it fucking broke you idiots, humans can't be trusted to be fair they are all programmed to be greedy grasping selfish bastards, you've been conditioning them for centuries to think like that, they all want more than they need, they all want more than exists, because its all fucking fake now, it doesn't even represent the wealth of the country like it used to now it's just numbers that mean nothing to anyone but the person with the most numbers. Why? Wipe it out, start again, do something people will remember, save the world from this insanity.
