15th October Blog Action Day 2009 - Calling all Revolutionaries


I have thought long and hard about this post. I have put different Blog Action Day posts on all of my blogs in an attempt to reflect their purpose. This is my blog for straight talking, hard truths, strong beliefs and shared solutions.

On my other blogs I have tried to provide a means of action for people that are realistic and beneficial to the cause however I believe that stronger and more direct action is required.

Whatever forecasts can be made about our planet, the effects of our presence, man made climatic changes, conflict between nations, natural climatic changes aggravated by our actions, or a combination of them all, I believe that our planet will ultimately survive in some form, I do not believe that mankind will.

I believe there is a inevitability to our own self destruction. We are capable of change however seem to need a stronger reason than currently exists to globally unite. I believe that necessity is the mother of invention and we do not seem to feel that action is necessary enough on mass.

We simply do not have the inclination to bring about the change I feel is required in the time required.

It is not a pleasant thought....the question is what are we going to do to prove me wrong?

    Thousands of years from now mankind could be gone but this ball will still be rolling here, well, for about 6 million years until the sun explodes.

    Hello! I did not get an email to say your comment had come in, sorry for the delay in responding.

    I think you are right, I do not expect us to prevail but the earth will. Is it really only 6 million years until the sun explodes?

I posted about cellophane a while ago as the last remaining refuse that I cannot recycle and my very good friend Tom at Wiggers World kindly told me this! "Cellulose belongs to a class of compounds known in organic chemistry as carbohydrates. The base unit of cellulose is the glucose molecule. Thousands of these glucose molecules are brought together in the plant growth cycle to form long chains, termed cellulose. These chains are in turn broken down in the production process to form cellulose film used in either an uncoated or coated form in packaging. When buried, uncoated cellulose film is generally found to degrade within 10 to 30 days; PVDC-coated film is found to degrade in 90 to 120 days and nitrocellulose-coated cellulose is found to degrade in 60 to 90 days. Tests have shown that the average total time for complete bio-degradation of cellulose film is from 28 to 60 days for uncoated products, and from 80 to 120 days for coated cellulose products. In lake water, the rate o

Social Screening?

Ok , here's the first topic, I'm starting simple. We have all at some point been subject to one form of social screening, whether it is our car insurance company upping our premium on receipt of our postcode, or our bank or credit card company rating our risk as a fraudster or potential debtor by means of our housing type, marital status or income. My topic for discussion today sees this system taken one step further. Call centres have begun to tag particular numbers within their customer databases in order to differentiate between 'less desirable' and 'more desirable' customers. Callers who are deemed to be more affluent are often dealt with as a priority. You as the customer are being assessed, classified and dealt with accordingly. Britain has already been subdivided into 17 groups categorised by the likelihood of that area having high levels of 'financial services fraud', based on social profiles of each area, by Leeds University Credit Management Re

I noticed there have been no pictures in recent posts and thought there should really be one to brighten things up a little. I have therefore chosen this lovely photo of Mel Gibson for you to enjoy! Image Credit: Huge Reviews.
