The Way Of The World

There used to be a simple notion. The people elected politicians who, generally did what was expected of them or they were voted out. Industry was given the incentive to do things by the mass of buyers choosing their product. Today things are rather different.

Big money attracts the attention of politicians and elections are some kind of ritual farce. Retail policy is derived by asking big retail how the sector should look; strangely it favours big companies. Turkeys are asked their views on Christmas. The people pay for what they get (or if it is a government service, that they often don't get) not what they want.

Man made global warming is a scam; the scientists who back it are either ideologically locked in or support the theory because their funds rely on it. But we should be earnestly looking for replacement energy sources, different ways of doing things. The emissions may not be doing what the idiots think, but aren't good anyway. But can you say that any real effort is being expended? Not if the pathetic 'electric car' is the best we can do.

These things wouldn't have been considered working prototypes years ago, but so depleted is our knowledge that car manufacturers churn them out as if they are viable and on the whole, we seem to believe them. An electric car with a 100 mile range. Whoopee! Except, what if it is night time and I need the lights on? And winter so I also need the wipers and blower on and where do I get heat from? I'm guessing we could now perhaps manage a couple of hundred yards.

We need politicians who think the electorate are their masters not the money of big business. We need a complete reversal of current warped thinking and to do that we need finally to get the left liberal monkey off our back.
