Original Message Date: 02-May-03 @ 05:22 PM - Redundancies
I f*cking hate this, I've recieved a redundancy before, and frankly people it sucked it really does, only because it took forever to find another job (because of the market, you know).
But now some one (my ex-) is being hinted by her employees that she's going, she walks to work everyday in fear, F*CK F*CK F*CK EM!!!
I now do appreciate the role of unions.
Okay rant over.

This whole topic actually strikes directly upon something that has been troubling me quite alot recently. The thing is - and don't get me wrong here, I am on your side - these bosses and 7 figure salary earning CEOs and Politicians are all idiots! You can't argue against it! Those of us who realise this fact also have the ability to shit on everyone, act like ass-holes, and assume bizarre amounts of self-worth, in an effort to get to such a status, but we don't. Why don't more people with their witts about them, do something about it?!? It is the same with bloody protestors! (although, I feel for those who suffer at the hands of CEO's, while I couldn't give a bloody shit about protestors... annoying bastards that they are!) They just sit down and whinge, while not actually doing anything about it. If those who beleive in such causes are so dedicated and intelligent - which I am sure many are - why do they not get the jobs of these idiotic CEO's and politicians, etc, etc, and change things internally, which is going to be infinitely more effective than chainging themselves to trees and gates while getting beaten up by police!?!
My point being: why is it that those who have the ability to change things never do?!?
Sorry, I know I have missed some very major points, but there are so many who want to change the world, and think that all they need to do is complain and wave banners.
Bloody frustrating!!!
Regards.
Steve.

but my life is the land
most don't understand
how it's out of my hands with money
money is a crime and i'll tell you why
because you have to cheat, steal, or lie
either that or agree
with the robots you see
dismantling environments endlessly
i think it's going to go real sweet with a uke part.

Steve R you are being naive, protestors are doing something, I am sure you can think of better ways but at least THEY are doing something.
"My point being: why is it that those who have the ability to change things never do?!? " - Because causing change is a 2 way street. As you approach the power to make change so you are changed by the power. I expect you have to demonstrate that you can be 'one of them' before they give you the power
General comment. SUffering in the US due to capitalism hahahaha

If, as many historians beleive, Jesus did exist (not as the son of god, or the third prophet, blah, blah), I feel he was on the right path. Use rumour, gossip, etc as a means to create fear in those you are trying to bring down, then act out the rumours and the tales that have been spread so that the enemy are weakened enough for something to be done... EFFECTIVELY! Martin Luther King also used a similar tactic, which is too cause fear!
But then, these methods of forcing change are open to abuse by anyone who feels that they are fighting for something worthwhile. And this brings the question... who is right afterall?
It's all too abstract for me... and protestors are a blind, self-satisfied and annoying lot. I think that maybe I am comfortable enough with my life to actually miss the point of everything. I am just gonna keep building my bunker with solar power and bugger off to make music and drink beer, and leave everybody else to it. You are all welcome to join me... just bring lots and lots of beer
Regards.
Steve.
