Politicians decided to abandon nuclear energy in Germany in the year 2000. In 2002 this decision was confirmed by changing the German nuclear law. Now some politicians want to abandon the abondoning of nuclear power. Still, there is no solution for nuclear waste, which will be dangerous for up to a million years... Have a look at human history and you will notice that there is quite a big chance (understatement) that in the future our western world will no longer exist as we know it. In my point of view this will mean that allmost certainly nuclear waste disposal sites will become unknown and that technical possibilities to monitor the dangerous waste will not for ever be available. In other words: our civilization will poison future civilizations in the most evil way, probably without them knowing why they get cancer and produce disfigured children.

An interesting part in this is that especially the christian politicians are into nuclear power. Is this because they believe in an afterlife? Is it because they believe some man with a beard on a cloud will come up with a solution? Is it because the Christian Democratic Union has strong (financial/job optional) ties with the big energy producers?

When I see propaganda material from the nuclear energy lobby I think a big part of the  christian support for nuclear power started out of recognition: the lay-out of the nuclear lobby's info material looks a lot like the pictures on calendars and posters which common christian people have hanging in their toilets, guest-rooms and corridors. No wonder poor christians got tricked into supporting dangerous nuclear energy:

Probably the water is so nice and blue because there is a healthy little nuclear power plant at the side of the river! Hallelujah!

Text on the propaganda picture

It makes me want to puke when I see what a desinformation there is in this propaganda. They state that a nuclear power plant produces no klima changing CO2 at all. The point is that the building of the plant, the mining of the uranium and the transport are, next to other environmental damages, producing loads of CO2. Furthermore, there is this very dangerous waste that you can not compare to CO2. "Let's fight klima change and save the world by poisoning the world with something more violent!"

Taste the waste!

"To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea -- cruising, it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

"'I've always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can't afford it,' some men say. What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of security. And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine, and before we know it our lives are gone.

"What does a man need -- really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in, and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all in the material sense, and we know it.

"But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by, the dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.

"Where, then, lies the answer?
In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?"

(-- the most oft-quoted passage from Sterling Hayden's Wanderer).

I decided to leave the bike here for a while, because many people come here and have a nice photo-opt with it and I am too lazy to push it around all the time..
Hey, it's still weekend and I have to prepare for the coming week:

Aye Aye Aye! My website got over the magic amount of 1000 visitors today! (this very blog here is going towards 2000 hits)

The exciting fact about it is that it is not even online for 2 months.

Still, I am not a superstar or very famous. Of course, I am starting to be known a little bit in the town I am living in, but maybe that is more because I am walking around on wooden shoes a lot with my 4,50 meter long bicycle from spätshop to spätshop, than for the fact that people truly noticed that I am one of the biggest modern artists of these times. I must say that I am satisfied with that, normal people in the streets give me free beer to support me and my art work.
At least I am not so bored and stupid because of being in the art scene too much that I let some other person glue some 20 million worth of diamonds on an old skull and afterwards buy it back myself for some 63 million, boasting around that I made the world's most expensive sculpture:
Man, go tell your mother                   ! (It looks like the world's ugliest sculpture if you ask me, for people who care about Africa it  is the world most bloody sculpture.)
Making the world's most expensive art work is as constructive as farting the alphabet, showing the woman with the beard at the circus side show or measuring your penis so you can tell your friends in the pub...

To celebrate the fact that 1000 visitors already had the great opportunity to view my very  modern and entertaining website I will start a small project to honour and spoil my growing herd of admirers:

I will exhibit at some exclusive places in Dresden! Here follows the program for this which will be published at my website www.wouter-mijland.com as well:

*3/7 November (tonight and tomorrow): Art Academy Dresden and Albertinum, Brühlsche Terasse 1Dresden

*8november: Doppel DE, Buchenstr. 16 A, auch in Dresden

For next week I do not know where my exhibitions will be, if you have any suggestions: please leave them in the comments or write me an email.  Pictures of this week's exhibitions will be posted here, check it out. Leitkultur über alles!
