Conditioned to forget..

It troubles me deeply when  I look back at this year that is now coming to a close. Isn't that what usually happens around this time, people take the time to reflect? But what kinds of things will people remember? There's no doubt that people will recall the devastation in the Philippines, after all, that has just happened and is still in the media, but do people remember the hundreds that died in Bangladesh when the factory collapsed due to the fact they have no health and safety because that might mean that the dress you got from Primark might cost a pound more?!! Or perhaps the earthquake in Pakistan that killed over 500 souls? How about the fact that after 10 years, Iraq and Afghanistan are just hellish if not more before the so called democracy that was supposed to arrive.

Does anyone pay attention to what's happening to their food- GMO's anyone? It isn't going to benefit anyone but the big corporations, no matter what BS they are chucking around it's not going to solve world hunger!! Do you really want to be like the States where having bloody diarrhea and anal leakage is a common occurrence??  How about the whole spying thing? I brought up this issue in a conversation with a friend and her reply was that of a person who doesn't care, and that is disturbing. People have become so distracted by things like the x factor or the royal baby that they are completely blind to what's going on, and what's going on is that this society is closing because we have stopped paying attention.

Just earlier this year the whole Frakking "debate came up, well, it wasn't really a debate as the companies just brushed aside the protesters and did it anyway. The UK is going in the wrong direction, instead of listening to the concerns of the people who " elected" them into their plush offices, they would rather listen to the money hungry corporations. A lot like the States, what this shit hole of a country should do is is try and use some common sense, I know that maybe difficult but I'm begging you, try! Across the pond you have some of the most unhealthiest and some of the poorest people in the western world, that is not progress, what that is is a society regressing!

Also I hear a lot of Euro bashing and I got to say I don't like it! When I see them protesting or striking, you know what I see... Intelligence, because those people know the injustice of bailing out the banks while letting the people suffer. Europe is still full of so much beauty and culture that is worth fighting for, what culture is there her??? Being a drunk and pissing in the street.

This country has its priorities all wrong and that is what happens when you allow big money into politics? People have to realize how far from "democracy" that is.

Who are real slackers,the people who will risk everything to see that people know the truth like Mr Snowden and the people protesting all across Europe or you, the people who are just oblivious to the fact that you are modern day slaves??
