So I looked back and my last post was in August, and I want to apologise to anyone who may of been waiting for my next post. Life has a nasty habit of creeping up behind you and giving you a good hard kick up the arse sometimes, and September was just one of those months when my Arse got a right royal kicking.

I have been to places and seen things that I would never wish upon another person, living or dead. Yet after all the promises, I still see again and again the same happening. I know I shouldn’t take this personally but after what I experienced in the 1990’s. I can’t help but scream about how much bullshit is going on today.

In the US you have a government that wants to supress basic human rights, and actively persecutes anyone who dares stand up against it.

In the UK, you have a government which actively suppresses basic human rights, and actively censors personal freedom, and free speech.

In the Gaza Strip there is an occupying force of the IDF who are inflicting mass genocide against a population, by the means of starvation and bombardment by armaments supplied by the the many government’s around the world.

Yet when the people protest we are labelled as terrorists, non-conformers, loony lefties. It has come to such a point where people are being hunted down for posting their views on social media and imprisoned . I have mentioned before about John Milton’s, plea in the Areopagitica about how state censorship only fuels more discontent and underground movements against the very ideals people are trying to suppress. This is a prose written in 1644 which is still as relevant today as it was back then.

Many writers and authors have tried to warn us that the path we a taking is only going to lead to certain doom and damnation. But we as a species seem hellbent on self-destruction. Maybe it is time to remove the warning labels, to abolish health and safety and finally let Darwinian natural selection take its prominent place in society, and thing out the parasitic individuals who are making life so totally unbearable for so many.

Extreme! maybe, but who ever said natural selection was about being fair?

So I found myself looking out the window one day in despair at how the world had fallen in to such chaos, and I thought to myself. Your a mid-aged, White Straight Male, what the hell can you do to change this shit show?

So I joined the increasing mass of others and said enough is enough, I will not tolerate this injustice any longer. I will not standby and allow Men, Women and Children to be senselessly killed for bullshit political ideals. I will not allow people to be treated differently because they choose to live their lives in peace and harmony. I will not tolerate those who can not understand that Love and peace are far stronger and more important than hatred and death!

So if the Thought police should by chance read this scandalous article by someone who has finally given up on the bullshit. That the trickle down economy works, that the super rich shouldn’t pay taxes, that the poor and destitute should be persecuted. That believes it is wrong, that charities should have to raise money so the most needy school children eat at least one decent meal a day during school holidays.

Then come and arrest me, I ready and waiting to stand firm by my beliefs, are you ready to stand firm behind false injustice and persecution?

So today with this apparently simple blog, I have shit canned my writing career!

But I ask myself this one question. Would I do it again?

Most Certainly, if it ends, these gross injustices that are being inflicted upon the most innocent of lives on this dismal ball of rock floating in space, we call the planet Earth! Then so be it!
