head smashed

i dont mind being governed by cowards and fools

i do how ever have a few questions id like answered

how long are we going to continue on a crash course that we know is going to destroy us?

its ok, im not going to raise a ruckus, or alter events, i just want to know

it obvious that working hard and being a good person is not going to make a better life for you,how long do we continue working hard and being good?

its obvious that viewing the world through an economic prism is not going to make life better for us
we can see that allowing privet companies to distribute medications allowing supply and demand to set the price, is killing millions

how long do we sit by and allow those with the resources of power dictate our lives?

we know

1) the power stems from fear

control of the citizens stems from individual people who are willing to use guns and other weapons for pay. our police and military do their JOBS, and if they were not paid they would not use their guns to enforce laws

2)our money is meaning full only as long as we place value on it.

the value of items change in direct relation to how much we WANT something
.
3)emotion is controlled very effectively through music.

the musicians i know want to make more money. they feel that their trade ought to be to gain more items and valuables

4)a peaceful revolt requires nothing more than changing the perceptions of money in the populous.

and in order to do that we must learn to truly understand what money is now, how it works , and exploit the holes in monetary theory.

not just the glaring discrepancy between the right of ownership and the right to maintain your survival. (a starving man feeling its wrong to steal from Safeway)

but the more insidious ones. the ones that are tricks of math and spreading costs out to many while diverting profits to the few.
(the cost of dealing with pollutants is shared across the entire planet, while the profits from selling oil are concentrated in a few shareholders)

im not going to rock the boat, im not going to stop us from running in circles. in short im going to run towards headsmashedin along with the rest of you. i just want to know what we are running from and if any one else thinks its kinda dumb?

sue the government

the Alberta government is passing a law tis week that ties Alberta and BC's economy together. as a bonus it adds in a small tidbit allowing bignesses to sue the government for passing any law that infringes on profits.
if business's can sue the govt for passing laws that infringe on profits. it makes the act of outlawing any thing impossible. it makes increasing business tax impossible. this means that all the tax burden will have to fall to the citizens.

citizens who don't have the right to9 sue if the government passes laws that are unprofitable to them.


things such as supplying safety equipment and minimum wage would be impossible to legislate in to existence if this law were in place in the past. do we really believe that minimum wage should not be raised ever again? like in 30years do we still think 8.50 or what ever it is will suffice?

hiring new police could reduce the demand for security guards, hence security companies could sue to prevent that.

upgrading our watter treatment plants could cut in to the sales of bottled water. think of any law passed, it has to cut into someones profits some ware. it doesn't take too much imagination to realize that the government would be unable to alter any thing with out spending more $$ fighting lawsuits. would instituting a clean energy plan hurt the profits of “dirty” energy?


and once the law is passed a new law would be needed to repeal it. but because it would have to be passed during this laws standing, it could be brought top court as a n unprofitable law. (especially to lawyers)

meaning that only an over throw of the provincial government would be able to remove the law, but we cant just over throw the Alberta government, with out effecting the Federal government.

this is a government basically legislating themselves inn to powerlessness. the vote is the way we the people exert our power over our surroundings. if the power of that vote is removed, then our democracy becomes as meaning full as Barbie's hairdo.

amongst all the corruption and lies we see in politics, it can be difficult to remember that the reason we have politicians, and a house of Representatives, and elections, is to allow US to decide what we will and will not allow to happen. not courts and high priced lawyers. not business executives, or multinational corporations. but US

the people. and we should be free to change our minds if we find out we were wrong. if we decide that we thing Internet communications is an essential service shouldn't we be free to create city wide wifi zones? or should the ISP's be ensured of there profits? could we decide that dentistry be covered under heath care? could we decide that we wanted a larger share of the oil sands?

could we decide that all kitchen staff in restaurants sanitize their hands after using the washroom?

No the only laws that will be able to pass are ones that further tax citizen's and reduce tax and safety measures on business. fucking idiot Conservatives we have anyway

revolutions of the middleclassed?

all the revolutions I've read about have stemmed from a poor population able to live in the wilderness while waging there attacks. what of a populous who still has homes? does the act of having a residence negate the ability to revolt? if so is keeping us housed part of the plan to usurp our rights? (doubt-full, homelessness is not a priority for our leaders)
