The Beast Can’t Live Without it’s Food
March 19, 2007
So what does the Beast Eat?
Us. Plain and Simple.
People power is what feeds the beast and greed masked as security the navigator. We care caught up in a race that we can’t win if we play by the rules laid out. It’s like being in a school yard game with a kid who is smart enough to try to fix the game. If we play by his rules then no matter what the game the scale is tipped towards him. ENRON COMES TO MIND. I don’t want to reason with someone I know is trying to openly slight me, I want to deal with people who understand the reasons for fair play.
Which is the basis for the Anti-Greed Movement.
Imagine not needing to pay 70% of your income to Food, Energy, Shelter and Transportation. In the 1930′s Aldus Huxley wrote Brave New World. A book based on a future society with a caste system. This book is great and makes some major points.
Even in the thirties Aldus saw the fault in consuming transport as a major business. From the providers of transport it looks like a great and profitable business. People spending hard earned cash on a fixed system of transport. Over and Over and Over again whether they know why or not. Notice how car commercials are trying to convince you that:
BEING IN THE CAR AND DRIVING IS THE FUN ACTIVITY!
Now that we’ve sprawled out so much driving is a more excepted part of our reality, and believe me it was planned this way.
I know that some transport is needed but not at the sake of all of our lives.
Or At the expense of the PLANET we live on.
Imagine cutting Gasoline usage in half. Do you think that the OIL companies would keep raising the price to make up for the loss? Or lower their prices to encourage more Transport? Raising the price would only discourage transport more (although they would get creative about why the price increase happens) We all know they have their personal business interests in mind over society and the land. With record profits and the sky’s the limit attitude we’re cornered.
So how long before we storm the Dukes Castle?
I say we reverse the tactics and unplug the IV. We can bring down the value of greed by not buying into it.
Or is it easier said then done?
Like a Drug Addict we need Rehab for Energy Consumers.
Google Earthship or Michael Reynolds to Find out how to unplug from the Machine.
