1001 things to do before you
die....Live your life without the aid of a fucking handbook telling
you what to do, see, hear or watch! People are tourists in others
lives reliant on everyone else and not themselves, responsible for
nothing, waiting for a response from google. Remote and distant from
reality living in a world full of stuff defined by others, a world
people can't afford to live in 1001 things to destroy before they
destroy us! Here are a few to be going on with, in no particular
order:-
Advertising / Reality TV / The National
Lottery / Mobile Phones / TV Talent shows / Credit Cards / Arms Manufacture / Satellite and Cable
TV / Wi-Fi / Private schooling / Work related bonuses //
Have any of the above improved the
lives of the impoverished? A world with more often offers less.
Small changes at the bottom can lead to
a big change at the top! Shake the foundations and the structure
will start to wobble, remove parts of the foundations and the(ir)
monstrous Frankenstein creation and structure will start to collapse.
Welcome to the wasteland, where destruction leads to construction
and something new and more human can emerge from the debris. Having
less may give people more.
Ingenious space space saving items;
just mean people have more space to fill with more shit! Ingenious
labour saving products give people more time to labour at something
else. Productivity and efficiency. People
seek perfection in an imperfect world an ideal that can never be
attained no matter how much is spent. People want to remain young and
beautiful from the outside, but inside they are just old and ugly and
putty in the hands of the cosmetics industry.
An instant world means people become
inpatient. People expect more from goods and services yet morally
they contribute less as they scuffle and scrap for stuff. Lack of face to face communication
means people become faceless; human beings are de-humanising
themselves with every e-mail or instant message they send. Work does not set you free! A culture
of Credit and debit keeps people chained to their desks and
imprisoned in death camps that are called offices, call centres,
warehouses and factories. If stuff wasn't sold cheap and people
didn't have the cash to buy stuff and had to save before they bought,
then would there be so much stuff produced? STUFF THEIR STUFF!
You know something isn't quite right
when the adults are wearing baby-grows, or 'onesies' to call them
by the name given to them by the fashion industry, and they are
dressing their four year old children like adults and encouraging
them to grow up quicker. People are stealing their children’s
childhood from them, their innocence is corrupted from birth, as they
place them in the arms of a purple dinosaur who also serves as a
military torture aid against the orange jump suit clad inmates of
Guantanamo Bay.
In the wake of the Jimmy Saville
celebrity sex scandals some crazy fools have talked of lowering the
age of consensual sex from 16 to 15, they justify this by saying that
statistics showed more children were having sex before they were
16???? That makes as much sense to me as politicians wanting to
lower the voting age to 16, despite the statistics showing that young
people 18+ are not voting anyway. Still at least parents can look
forward to a future with no 'teenage tantrums and troubles' because
there will be no more teenagers because some sections of society want
to see the death of the teenager and are quite happy to see a future
generation old before their time, living in a world that tells them
1001 times what to do and how to live their lives.
