Gaia

So Leviathan is fucking the Planet (the Emperor fucking the Empress up the ass) in the name of Gross Domestic Product and calls this Progress and Growth. In the mean time we can all whinge about the price of petrol, switch channels when they show pictures of brown-eyed children starved and uneducated by international debt and try to ignore the rising tide of overflowing sewage that's going to flood all our nice tidy little bourgeois castles as the ice-caps melt. SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fucked Up.
Doesn't it just drive you absolutely fucking crazy????

"The news had just come over, we had 5 years left to cry in
The news guy wept and told us Earth was really dying
He cried so much, his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies,
Saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat skinny people and all the tall short people
and all the nobody people and all the somebody people
I never knew I needed so many people"
David Bowie, 5 Years

"People will hold us to blame, it hit me today"
David Bowie, 'We are the Dead'

"We are running the global economy as if we were holding a going-out-of-business sale"
David Korton taken from 'Take it Personally' by Anita Roddick

"Mrs Doyle, we've got Father Kevin staying with us for a while and he's feeling a bit depressed so if you avoid the whole aids, poverty, Mirror pension plan area, that would be great"
Father Ted

"'Energise the energy beams'
Light poured out of the hatchways.
'
I don't know,' said the voice on the PA, 'apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.'
There was a terrible ghastly silence.
There was a terrible ghastly noise.
There was a terrible ghastly silence."
Douglas Adams, 'Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy'
