When Will We Be Free?

I think that the media is the weapon of choice of governments and big business. There is so much information out there and much of it is disinformation. We are crushed by a combination of politics, religion and (lack of) money. News is full of stuff about terrorism and war (much of which is created deliberately to instill fear in the population), CO2 greenhouse gas (how many have looked up at the sun and back in time to temperature records?) and celebrities (to take our minds off things and make us consume).

Things need to change. Change can be done in many ways. I am only going to talk about peaceful methods because they are the ones that will ultimately work. These include the use of media and information to fight back. These techniques include awareness online, alternative TV, alternative press and independent scientific research presented to the public in a clear and concise way. Also, there are global peaceful protests and the idea synchronous thinking and meditation on peace. These would need to be done but a large percentage of the population and may affect our way of thinking if not the physical reality around us. Maybe we could use some of the environmental issues as test cases.

Question everything you see and hear and if something feels wrong then it is worth investigating further.

Cars and Bins

Pavements are for pedestrians and roads are for cars. Yet on the roads in my local area there are countless cars parked halfway across the pavement. This is due to the amount of people owning cars compared to the amount of alloted drive or garage space. One could argue that there are too many cars but this is only half the problem.

People need to put out their rubbish once a week. This is left on the pavement on the streets. After the dustmen take the rubbish away they leave the empty bins all over the pavement (and sometimes on the curb too). Often the bins are not taken back in for a day or two. Also in the summer the trees and bushes grow out over the paths. This situation has to occur across residential and suburban areas across the UK.

All of this combined creates a situation where the pavements are totally blocked to pedestrians who have to walk onto the road around the cars. This causes anger and frustration especially when carrying heavy shopping or pushing a pram. Often the view is blocked by the parked cars so it is hard to see an oncoming vehicle (including bicycles). There is, I believe, potential for accidents.

This is nonsense and may in fact be illegal (bins on roads, cars parked over the pavement at crooked angles). We need to remind binmen to put bins on the empty drives to force drivers to put them in the correct places when they come home. Also, to ensure that drivers are aware of correct parking procedures.

Where are the electric cars?

As we pollute the environment what has happened to all the research about electric cars? Have all the patents been gobbled up by corporations interested in making more money on polluting oil and gas as well as forcing higher costs and taxes on the consumer?

Also, why are there no solar panels on aircraft? These can be added to the fusilage without affecting areodynamics much and would provide extra energy to power the craft when in flight during the day and during take off / landing under clear skies.
