I am stealing time away from my rewriting of an essay which I don't like, but the topic is so binding, I really rewrite. My thesis works but my form is old fashioned and of the french of the 1970s, or so the word is. But the word is not that.
I write because I am inspired by the flash monsoon that suddenly shook all of clemtown, well for five minutes, but it was glorious. The thunder quaked the earth. Lightening illuminated the heavens, the earth felt like it was going to crack open. But it didn't. It wasn't quite that dramatic, but oh how I do love departures from the norm.
As a quick aside, ever wonder how blogs or pages on social networking sites are going to play into coming elections of our generation. Say in 10 years maybe, when the first of our generation, generation y they call it, I dunno, but the former facebook pages and blogs of political contenders will be useful tools in elections in the future. Image if you had drunk pictures of Hillary, or a high Obama, or a completely shit faced McCain raising hell. Very powerful weapon to say the least. And even greater still, views on mundane issues and maybe in political issues, uncensored. Yes, we do read senior thesis and such, but remember they are heavily censored by those that wrote them realising the potential for publication. This stuff, in this domain is often never intended for publication, only meant to be read on occasion by friends or acquaintances. Think about it.
This is the one that will get me in trouble in the future. Economics control most facets of life. Think about economic terrorism. The US/ West inundating the middle east with starbucks and mcdonalds. Economic capitalism. Notice how the the rise and fall of the "free market" affects policy decisions. Look at the southern cone. They fought wars, years of oppression and suffering due to economic issues of foreign debt carried over from regime changes. Everything has become about material possessions and the ever more transcient dollar bill(or Euro now I guess...). Trading blocks, NAFTA, IMF, World Bank, WTO, all this transnational enterprises can make and break most of the smaller developing governments...who oddly are never allowed to move into anything outside of exporting material good or sources of cheap labour. Think about it. More to follow.
