What challenges are left?

As the Individual takes over our world and their lifestyle encroaches via The Internet what challenges are left for humanity to achieve?

A challenge, for these individuals is presented in terms of A to B, round the world, pole to pole, highest, lowest, hottest, driest, etc.

But the Real human challenges remain unresolved. Starvation, lack of drinking water, a roof, warm bedding/clothes, food. Left to Charities because governments have failed.

Now Charities have failed with sexual abuse scandal, CEO salaries, etc.

As the human population continues its in fighting about land, weapons, ownership, the planet deteriorates. We had until 2050. Now 2031, if you believe Science.

Many challenges have come and gone but the continuation of the human race is ever present. To rely on the Planet, the weather, etc to provide a solution is too laissez faire, laid back.

Surely, we have the intelligence, foresight and acceptance that our fate is at least partly in our hands.? To abdicate that responsibility, as Politicians, their backers and Big Corporations are doing is not good enough.

However, they have no vested interest in stopping their pursuit of profit, get rich schemes, maintain consumerism, why would you stop doing something that makes you Rich?

So while some demand, insist, petition ‘the powers that be’ maybe others resort to doing their own thing (to help) — recycle, reuse, reduce.

Of course you can only do this if you are affluent in the first place. You cannot recycle what you ain’t got. Laudable though it may be.

We have plastic-bottled water. They still walk to a well with a bucket to collect water. Surely, the money should have produced free drinking water at point of home for those that need it, All of us, instead of plastic bottles of water. But there is no profit in maintaining human life only exploiting human life.

So the challenge yet to be achieved is fresh water, food, roof for all!

This should be The Priority?

Welcome back. 😎

I have neglected this blog of late.

A hiatus since 2014 due to loss of interest, achieved goals, lost my way.

This has been a regular occurrence in my running life which started at 14. (1976).

So I am back, since late 2017. Been a slow, steady process. Just had 8 weeks with very little running due to recurring chest infection. But yesterday, as posted, completed Retford Half Marathon. 2’06.

However, I have also been concentrating on Facebook, strava and twitter. It’s time to co-ordinate these platforms. And so it begins…

Gig Review. LeftyChris. Stanley’s Alehouse. Sunday 30th Dec. 2018.

LeftyChris – Singer/songwriter, guitar – plays only his own compositions. They vary in content but generally love, experiences et al. Like many he has a ‘style’. Clear voice, holding notes, lyrics rhyme at times, repeat a lot. As singer/guitarist with Lefthand Drive the music does crossover. If categorising folkish/pop. Personal fav of set Mr. Wonder. Bringing live music back to pubs is a good, community thing and a vehicle for a person’s voice in a political climate where the illusion of the peoples voice, democracy, is under question. To quote Chris ‘I don’t want to be in the corner playing Ed Sheeran covers’ Well worth a listen. 😎

The internet is `a mind of useless information`. You can search any combination of words as Dave Gorman Googlewhack  http://www.davegorman.com/projects_googlewhack_adventure.html

did

How about you search your own name ? http://www.davegorman.com/projects_are_you_dave_gorman.html

What would you expect ?

At least one person with same name/sex

that person(s) to be around your age

maybe living in same country (internet is predominantly in rich countries)

same interest(s)

How about name yes, age same yes, country same yes, interest fell running yes, beginning to get `spooky`.

Who are the Unpeople? Unpeople are those you can abuse and kill, decimate and dislocate, without conscience or consequence, because they aren’t fully human — or human at all — in the minds of their abusers. Noam Chomsky. In These Times. Recognizing The Unpeople. Jan. 2012

Whose role is it to help the Unpeople ? Not mine I am too busy. Not mine I am too far removed. Not mine I`ve got enough troubles to deal with. Not mine they can sort it out themselves. Not mine they shouldn`t have got themselves in that position. Not mine they are no-hopers anyway. Not mine they can go and **** themselves – Lowlife.

What would help the Unpeople ? Charity, faith, education, food, water, a home, not being imprisoned or incarcerated, giving them hope, democracy, positive thinking, governments, businesses,

What will not help ? famine – no (free) food crops, war – death, destruction, leaders who are only interested in lining their own pockets, (big) business self-interest,

Meanwhile, whilst YOU are watching the daily picture of your life millions of human beings are suffering through no fault of their own but the fault of a handful, yes a handful, of fellow human beings. This cannot be true because
– they do not commit crimes (who decides ?)
– they do not kill people using a weapon (except WAR)
– they do not provide free food (but they do grab land to grow crops for their profit)

Positive thinking does not refer to the () because it cannot explain why fellow human beings do them so they pretend it didn`t happen thus the handful continue to plunder people and planet in the name of progress.The outcome is the positive thinkers allow the handful to succeed and shout about it through the Free? press and media. Who owns the Free press and media (mostly the handful).

There endeth todays lesson on global politics. A circle of life where the Big Cat always gets the cream and the rest of us are lucky to get the last drop of milk.
