This afternoon I have caught a nice and tasty cod for Christmas. It took me 5 minutes to pull the poor creature out of its under water world. Going to the supermarket takes longer and the fish will not be that fresh..Now that is what I call easy living!
Of course the fish must have had some horrible last moments so I would like to apologize to the spirit of this now dead cod with bad luck...
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!
I have made a large mistake in my past. I have chosen the wrong profession! Instead of becoming an artist and forester I should have become an investment banker.
When I do something wrong I most often have to pay a lot (anything above €30:- in my case) of money to some organization or the state I am living in...
A few weeks ago I had to go to court. I was caught by the police while driving drunk on my bicycle. I did have my lights on and did not behave anti-social. Still the government wrote me a letter in which they wrote me that I had to go to jail for 40(!) days or pay €2800,-(!). This for having 0,2 Promille too much alcohol in my blood and a very low amount of Tetracannabinol, not enough to get a fruitfly stoned.
I went to court and got €2000,- discount on my ticket, because of my nice blue eyes and the fact that I could convince the judge that I am as poor as a churchrat. I still have to pay €800,- to the German state, that is how expensive a little saturdaynight fever can be over here...Hey, I am an artist, we do like that!
If you make a big mistake as an investment banker or a pension fund manager you will get billions of money from the same government.
With a big mistake I mean for instance the loss of billions of money (not the banker's money,it is the private customer's, therefor also your money!) by literally gambling it away on the international market. The result is that many people loose their savings, their pension and the economy might collaps, resulting in poverty rates rising and making life a lot harder for many innocent people. Still, you don't have to pay a fine and will not have to go to court, you will get a lot of support and money in stead!
I am not whining. I will pay my bill of €800,- and live on, I will probably sleep on the floor in the pub next time I get drunk. I do wonder about this strange world I am living in and about the double standards our politicians are measuring with.
What is so bad about the economical growth going down? I actually see many positive aspects in it. I would love to see an icecold recession hitting in soon, as long as those banker friendly politicians will take good care of the poorest, old, sick and helpless people in our society.
Often I see that our way of living is over the top. People buy a new LCD or plasma TV just because they can, they have a proper working normal TV in the livingroom, but throw that one away. Why watch television, unless you like to stay stupid and disinformed by politicians and bankers?
A recession must be healing towards the environmental catastrophe that is going on. I still don't understand why the government does not make an emergency plan for the environment like it does for the banks. I mean, the pollution is what gives us cancer!
A while ago our washing machine (which we got from my girlfriend's parents, they had bought a new one, allthough this one was working well) broke down. I drove to an electro-garbage gathering station in the city and got another one for free. The door handle was broken. My girlfriend got a new one for a few euros and attached it with 2 screws in 2 minutes and we had a perfectly working washing machine again...
Why do people and our mentally ill politicians believe that economical growth is very important? It all goes down the drain... Why buy even more plastic crap, why buy more electro-garbage, why buy more combined metal/petrol/electro/plastic waste called "new car"?
I love gardening. While growing my own vegetables I don't even think about watching boring and fake stuff on TV, I get healthier and fresher veggies and save a lot of money while feeling good because I do achieve some self fullfillment. Ecologically seen a recession seems to be what we need the most today.
Even better; a recession would save me a lot of money, because I would have no money to get drunk in the pub and cycle home, risking fines up to €800,-. I probably would brew some home beer or wine though! (I am sorry girlfriend)....
