Brave New World

Since i last wrote the tsunami has devastated Japan.  The Tunisians, Egyptians, Lybians and other Arabic people are rebelling against their strong-arm leadership, and many Americans are implying that we need to do the same.


So let's start a new revolution.  This revolution has to be unlike any revolution before.  The Russian Revolution which put Lenin in charge was financed by Loeb and Sons, a bank.  When the state took control the person's who ran the businesses had no competition and a select few people got ridiculously wealthy along with their political face-pieces.

The Greatest Generation fought the Second World War and dropped us into the Cold War.  This is where the Greatest Generation screwed up:  they made the world subservient to corporate rule.  This has left us in the present state where the businesses, the largest, wealthiest, and most corrupt, have bought the votes of congressmen and senators.  Through revolving door policies they populate the regulatory agencies which support the industry they are supposed to protect us from.  They are literally killing the environment, people, and hope.

As a result we need to be wiser in this new revolution.  Instead of creating mayhem in the government or doing stupid things like assassination (notice it is an ass twice), what we need to do is to dismantle the people in the largest corporations who are pulling the strings and making our "public servants" dance to the corporate tune.  Yes, our senators, congressmen, and all the administrations whether dems or repubs are foolish, unwise, stupid, and harmful; even dangerous. 

It is the superwealthy who need to be taken down.  It is the stockholder wealthy enough to make decisions which line their accounts at the expense of the greater good.  Cynical wealthy will ask how to define the common good as they muddy waters, try to divide and dilute anger and action, and attempt to maintain the status quo.  The common good is NOT a simple thing.  However we can easily see some things are not in the best interests of most people on the planet but only in the financial interests of a wealthy few.

Things like genetic engineering of plants.  Things like nuclear power.  Things like toxic chemicals being applied to foods (real clever just looking at it from that standpoint) which then wash down the rivers, drain into the oceans, and kill off algae which is the primary planetary oxygenator.  This and the other toxic spills are why the planet is literally missing more than a third of it's oxygen.  You need oxygen.  The only way to make oxygen is from plants.  There are methods of concentrating oxygen, and technically one could make oxygen sans photosynthesis by electrolytically separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water.  Practically speaking that would leave massive amounts of explosives in the wherever while still having the separated particles combine back into water relatively quickly.  Not a viable planetary oxygenation solution.

Next;  Genetic Engineering.

Then;  Nuclear Power
