Have been stumbling around the bush caretaking property for friends in now overgrown farm.  No home, internet, or TV since selling cottage well over four months back ........hence no blogging.  Have escaped to local library.....part of major project to empower local people with further educational aspirations....which I will talk about another time and have just been reading Times on Line about UK austerity plans and British people's reaction.  Must lighten up when I get back to regular blogging..........however the hypocrisy and cant that today's slump has generated is unforgivable by any creed known to mankind and is far too tempting not to assault.

From history (that much discarded factual calculator) we learn that at the turn of the first millennium AD there was a great period of uncertainly, doubt and the dawning realisation that life could not proceed as it had ..................and it took some three to four hundred years (the dark ages) to begin to reach a beacon of hope which of course became the 'renaissance period'.  It was the latter that spurred man not only to the many achievements, inventions and freedoms which were to mark of the latter half of the millenium ..........but also more radical thinking.  My point is that in the very simplistic of terms we could percieve our uncertainly today is no dissimilar to those of our forefathers in 1066 and all that...........................for despite protestations from the "have nots" and the arm chair socialist 'twist of lime'.......there is no real poverty in the UK accept where individuals have willed it on themselves via some "little helper" or self interest .............greed is now endemic amongst people of all means and the feel good factor has sufficiently waned for people to become uncertain and for politicians everwhere to begin talking change as the opiate for reform ...........but it a major change in the British mindsets that is required - not just in their administrations .........and David Cameron in recognising it has nailed his flag to a mast where the people lead the change ......not the Government.

This has many similarities to Obama's perspective of what he mean't by change, although Obama cannot possibly enunciate it ........his current unpopularity alone is due to the small amount he has tinkered with personal freedoms (which any patriot sees as their constitutional right) and any suggestion that he was trying to change their mindset would be fatal.

Unfortunately religion still dominates creeds and not humanism.......until people fully appreciate one another in a credible and selfless way our natural survival instincts whilst keeping human kind hopefully in existence, are likely to work against a possible third way of co-existing. Changes of mindset could well be altered by practical issues (which is not itself a bad thing) but not instinctive behavioural features. To ensure a way of both changing and sustaining the practical measures that need to be taken .................not only in our own.... but also global society ....for the human race to have any chance of advancing to 3000AD..........we need to change our instinctive priorities.  Good luck to today's leaders.......especially those who espouse democracy.......and the next time you electorates blame your leaders check your "glass houses".

Hope to be back more regularly end October lighter, fresher and mainlining on far less humbug.
