When Pigs Fly 
November 24th, 2005
Climate talks in Montreal are starting today and Richard Black at the BBC seems to think that they will not get anywhere [1] …
Well of course they won’t get anywhere! When it comes down to weighing the livelihoods of some poor Bangladeshis against Americans who _need_ to heat their entire 3000 square foot homes to 23C in the dead of winter or wage wars in the name of oil I think we know who will come out on top. If George really cared about bringing “freedom” to oppressed people around the world then he could start by looking at how the merciless tyranny (blatantly unfair “globalisation” trade rules, climate change, war for oil, etc) of America keeps the world’s poor poor while the rich keep getting richer.
The whole idea of Kyoto is simply ridiculous. Yes, let’s make some outrageously low targets for greenhouse gas emissions that the largest emitters will not even sign up to and after which everyone will realize that the economics don’t work out and so we will all just emit even more to make up for the slow growth in GDP. When will the general public realize that the whole thing is a sham - oh that’s right they won’t.
Just like the “Make Poverty History” crap and Live8 which was deemed a great success by Geldof and made everyone feel warm and fuzzy so they don’t have to think about the poor little children who suffered making the next pair of shoes they buy. It is just like in the recent Dukes of Hazard movie - Hogg (aka George Bush, Tony Blair et al) is just using slight of hand damn it! In everything they do! “Yes we are abolishing $40 billion in debt to Africa” all the while they are just planning on making it actually benefit themselves and their own nations by not having to give that equivalent amount of money in aid and likely getting lucrative natural resource contracts etc. Boss Hogg was going to turn Hazard into a strip mine but the good people of Hazard were complacent and didn’t believe the armadillo helmet wearing crazy guy. Thanks to people like Luke and Bo, Hazard was not destroyed - the problem is that even though we have respectable scientists and campaigners telling everyone that the world is going to end up like a strip mine still no one is listening! Where is Daisy when you need her!

Haha, this is beautiful
I never thought I could finally find someone (that is not arabic and is not me) that would think like that 
Or actually blog about it. Very nice post you did there.
But yes, people themselves are not born stupid, they are all blinded by their *very very truthfull* (sarcasm) mainstream media which then turned them into blind zombies, built by the leaders of the *leading* countries of this non-sense world ..
Something has to be done, but what can we do he? Sitting in front of our screens blogging about some injustices, reading aljazeera (which fox proposed or will propose to buy - if not already done), hoping, etc. Even then, we pass the message to the next person we see, maybe that�ll help them realize what is really going on ? No! Because they will go back to their tv�s, movies - (which most of the times are involving *brave* americans trying to save the *land of so-called free* of the hostile *arabics* (which they always put in the same group no matter which country they are from as long as they are not speaking the same language, believing in another god, or think differently) Well people will stay blinded, something has to be done about the media, the movies we produce, but what will win over some nice explosions, girls half naked and .. patriotism.. eugh �
Oh well, I probably did not make any sense because i got dragged into my hate of oppression, exploitation and inequality but most of this to say that I agree with that post.
maf hoom ?? la! maa leesh..
