2011 – Another year of living foolishly?

Article in PDF

This year is grinding to a close and then hope will begin for the New Year. So what will it be? More wars? Genocide? Child abuse? Women beating? Extinction of another species? New insidious revelations that expose the all pervasive criminality of international politics and sections of the Media? There is so much to choose from. It’s like a supermarket out there with all kinds of manmade disasters available on the shelves, one has simply to reach out and grab one. 2011 is ending on a note of negotiated delusions with the climate change conference in Durban. What happened to the good old days when we used a blanket instead of a heater? All this talk of saving the world is pointless. Everything is done half-heartedly. Let’s make a resolution for the New Year to decimate the planet. Destroy all our natural resources, pollute the rivers and farm the seas to extinction. At least we would be doing one thing properly.
