Social Management
One of the biggest problems humanity has yet to overcome in this world is greed! But before we get to that, we must understand why!
Humanity's Social Management Structure
X, Y & Z! On a planet such as Earth, that has been gifted everything, the equation should be simple! There is X amount of money, Y amount of resources, and Z amount of work to do. All we need to do is share. The ordinary people don't ask for much. Somewhere to live, enough food, water, energy, perhaps a holiday once a year, and a job to pay for it. However, it all seems a bit too much for those in charge! Why is that?
Just One! When we look around the world, we see that those who put themselves forward to do the jobs in social management, our politicians and leaders, are often flawed individuals of moderate, or less than moderate intelligence, short on consideration, understanding and even morals. They are often dishonest, lying when it suits them, and also arrogant, not listening to, or considering the people who ultimately pay their wages. One way or another, they generally do exactly what THEY want to do, regardless, and the ordinary people are expected to put up with things they don't get a say in, didn't vote for, didn't want, don't like and would rather not have to pay for. Even in our so-called democracies, real democracy is mostly an illusion and a meaningless word. From local to national government, people are ignored, walked all over and abused by those in power. In some countries, such abuse can result in false imprisonment and even murder by those in charge.
Devil's Own Job! When people put themselves forward to lead and be in a position of responsibility, you would expect them to be somewhat caring, capable and responsible. However, being qualified isn't actually a requirement. It's ironic that to be a consultant surgeon and hold the life of just one person in your hands, you have train for 12 years, or more. But just about any Dick (not forgetting Tom and Harry / Harriet) can be in charge of a nation, holding the lives of millions in their hands, and have absolutely no suitable qualifications, or suitable training, whatsoever. In our social management structures, arguably THE most important jobs, there are absolutely no checks on an individual's capability, or suitability to do the job. Through spin, deceit, guile, or force, just about anyone can worm their way in to power and seize control. Once they're in, they can be the devil's own job to get out. And while they're in, for some, the devil's own job they do too! Through their action, and / or inaction, natural disasters aside, our leaders are undeniably responsible for all the mess and heartache we see in this world. Mess the ordinary people simply have to just put up with it!
Consequences: We can now see much of how life on Earth has evolved and see evidence in our DNA, of the life-programme that drives our structure and creation. We know that, consequently, mankind is built on, and has evolved from an animal framework. In fact, we still share many commonalities with other animals on Earth. We see a lot ruthless behaviour in the animal world. Much of this behaviour is still evident in humanity. Likewise, our planetary social management system, in most instances, is still based on the same system the animals use; that is, the alpha-male. He who butts the biggest gets the pick of the spoils. Even though it has morphed a little, to encompass a bit more voting and a bit less butting, what this actually means is that, ultimately, a single person has overall control, control of the people and control of the spoils, and that single person makes the final decisions on behalf of everyone else. Even if disagreeable to the majority, one way or another, such decisions are generally enforced and the ordinary people are made to put up with it and suffer the, sometimes, very damaging consequences.
Animal = Man Ail: Depending on where we look, the negative effects of Earth's animal-based social management systems vary significantly in impact on quality of life for the ordinary people. They range from a basic lack of democracy, and being politely / deliberately ignored, or lied to, to violent oppression and an absolute disregard of human rights; denial of freedoms, misogyny, serious abuse of people, and even genocide. Sometimes, those who worm their way into power are simply crooked. Sometimes they are violent thugs and bullies. Sometimes they are actually mad! Many of them cause considerable problems for humanity. It's a sad fact that some people in this world don't want you to have an opinion, or even have a say in your own life. They think they're entitled to give you a hard time if YOU think any differently. If we are ever to overcome our problems and tidy up the mess, we have to stop behaving like animals. Meaning people have to be able and 'allowed' to live their lives, free from bullying, abuse and persecution. However, even in the UK, we still suffer persecution and denial of basic human rights. This upsets a lot of people and is nothing to be proud of! Let's remember, animals live in fear much of the time, because they have no choice. Civilised beings do not live in fear because they how to behave. Humanity is some way short of this at the moment, however, we do have the choice. Do we want to behave like animals, or would we rather be civilised? As we are guided by those in charge, this crucial question and answer, is all dependent on our quality of leadership. Those who make the rules and set the example. This is what affects and dictates our education, indoctrination and upbringing. That is, what is encouraged and deemed acceptable, and so much of this comes down to the top dog!
Top Dog: The prospect of being top dog can be attractive to some, for different reasons. Some more well-intentioned than others. To try and win the position, we see all sorts of tactics being employed from mud slinging, to blatant lying and twisting of truth, to slagging off, locking up or even murdering any opposition. Once political leaders are in a position of power, and become top dog, they have the paid underdogs at their disposal. That is the official government forces. The police, the military, the special services, etc. Those that are trained to follow commands without question, regardless of morality and right or wrong. Afterall, just as with your dog, that is what they are trained and paid (or fed) to do. This enables the control of the alpha-male to be enforced and until that alpha-male is usurped, or replaced, everyone is subject to the biases, flaws, weaknesses and potential bad behaviour of that person. It means the ordinary people can be subject to enforced abuse from the establishment; bullying, persecution, oppression, etc. It also means the ordinary people can be dragged into a war initiated by just one individual, making the lives of everyone very vulnerable because the top dog can effectively do what he likes!
The Inner Circle: Around and assisting the top dog, or alpha-male will be the mates, or inner circle. The entourage, the cabinet, court of the king, etc. Those who prop up, support and benefit by, being 'in' with the boss. Generally getting a share of the spoils and a privileged life, but at what cost to everyone else? As leaders also set the example to others, that is dictate the fashion in 'acceptable' morality and moral benchmarks, they can make a massive difference in the quality and taste of the brew the rest of us have to put up with. Bad leadership sets a bad example and inspires bad behaviour all the way down. The bad trickles all the way down to the bottom, infecting others in society, who could otherwise be decent, taking them down the wrong road and sending out the message that such animalistic and retarded abuse is ok, because it is sanctioned at the very top. If mankind is to evolve and make the leap from animal to civilised being, the quality of leadership and our planetary social management system must now come under serious scrutiny, with a view to removing such flaws and vulnerabilities!
Ripples: When you look around, it is very clear that, much of the time, those in authority don't know what they're doing, or they don't care. They waste inordinate amounts of money, they have no real vision and no real understanding and, at worse, they are simply corrupt! If they're not lying through their teeth, they hardly ever give you a straight answer and they don't listen to the people paying their wages either. They behave like rogue traders and their flaws, weaknesses and mistakes cost the ordinary people mortally, practically, financially and emotionally. Even at a local level, councils ignore and walk all over democracy, public opinion, and even common sense. They lack consideration, don't take good ideas on board and simply lie to fob the public off and get their own way. Some countries are much worse than the UK, and people in those countries suffer badly. However, the ripples, or knock-on effects, also affect people everywhere. Everyone pays something. Cost of living, morale and mental health in this world, all suffer as a result of unsavoury leadership and idiots in charge who simply shouldn't be in charge, as they simply abuse and take advantage of, walking all over the people that fund the system and pay their wages. People in positions of authority should know how to behave and do a responsible job! But, all too often, they simply don't!
Road To Hell: Due to humanity's archaic social management system, one bad leader, that is one single human entity, can screw up the whole world. It is a fact that when leaders of nations don't get on and fall out as individuals, the rest of us can get dragged into ridiculous wars, costing the ordinary people substantially. This makes our leaders' personal flaws and issues even more pertinent, as they have a massive bearing on what the rest of us have to put up with. Let's face it, it's not the ordinary people that cause the wars! It is those in charge! It is utterly ridiculous that thousands, sometimes millions of people can end up being killed, due to the personality and character flaws of one individual! But that's where we are still! We continually see power struggles play out all over the planet as corrupt individuals, our so-called leaders, who are wholly unfit for purpose, play games with people's lives, propped up by the thugs and bullies that serve them. Just like in the animal kingdom, it all amounts to the stronger, more forceful ones, immorally picking and leaning on the weaker and more peaceful ones. This is just as true in religion as in politics, as religion also has its problems with unsavoury leadership. Old men who make up rules to suit their own corrupted, bigoted and retarded thinking. They pick on and bully the women and others, dictating and enforcing backward, bigoted, sinful rules and blame it all on God. It's embarrassing and it causes a lot problems for the ordinary people. Such wrong thinking in religion and the division it causes has also been responsible for much conflict as the ordinary people are, once again, led down a road to hell! That's going the wrong way guys!
Standing Up:
Unfortunately, when we have unsavoury leaders that have wormed their way into power and then reveal their true colour as being black, the ordinary people are forced to stand up and try and butt back in order to address the problems they cause. Nature, human psychology and life in the playground tells us that there is, unfortunately, only one way to deal with a bully. But when things are made to go this far, it always costs the ordinary people significantly, as they find themselves up against the paid dogs, the thugs and bullies in uniform, who follow the commands from their masters to suppress. Civil wars, world wars, uprisings, revolutions, protests. We've seen it all in this world. It all amounts to the ordinary people being used, abused, and very unhappy. The fact is, we really need leaders who can be responsible, understand what is required, serve the people and keep the people happy! If they can't do this, they should step down and let someone else have a go! We can't have our leaders behaving like animals, and taking us down the wrong road. We know where it goes and it's not a nice place! In fact, we can already feel the heat and the further we go down that road, the hotter it gets!
At The Top! What we need now, is grown up, sensible, social management. A new understanding and new political systems, that get away from the abuse and thuggery of those who think it is appropriate to rule by fear and oppression. Such people have no future in any civilised society. And although people may think not, we are all held accountable for the way we behave, eventually! The fact is, for this planet, we need sensible people in charge. People who can understand the problems now facing all of us. Yes, that is humanity! Not individual groups, nations, or people with labels on their heads that think they're somehow different, or better than everyone else. Earth is a ship, and even though it only goes round and round the sun, we're all sailing on it. If it sinks, we all go down. It is time to see the bigger picture, and we need people in charge who can understand this. Leaders who are prepared to WORK WITH each other and with the people that pay their wages. Leaders who can help address humanity's problems, not add to them! Half of all humanity is still thinking with an animal mindset. This is due to the poor quality of leadership, in both politics and religion. We'd like to encourage people to become civilised and start thinking like civilised beings. This means leaders who can lead responsibly and set a civilised and responsible example! Earth needs an upgrade of its operating system and its moral framework; and this must start where the buck stops! At the Top!
Heat = Hate: It isn't just our political leaders we have to scrutinize and worry about. In an age where anyone can get on the international stage and soapbox, we call the internet, influencers of any sort have to come under scrutiny. Why? Because, such influencers can affect events. Some of the people I have talked to think there is a problem with free speech being curtailed. Certainly, as we know, that is much the case in some countries, however, even in the UK, we must understand the difference between free speech and hate speech. That is constructive criticism, or making an observation, or a fair point, and troublemaking, or shit-stirring. As I explain, for me you have to ask, is what people say, or encourage, helpful, or even truthful? If the answer is no, we can do without it and we don't want it. If a person leads people down a road that results in damage to humanity in any form, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE! Especially when there is misinformation involved. There is far too much of this already. If we don't want to damage ourselves even more than we already have, psychologically or otherwise, encouraging such bad behaviour, by giving people a platform is unhelpful, and should be discouraged. As should any type of ignorant and unhelpful rhetoric! The message is clear, heat = hate / hate = heat! And so it goes on! This is why Jesus made the point about turning the other cheek. If not broken or interrupted, this cycle is endless and can go on indefinitely. The solution? MAC! Mutually assured cooperation. That is work together! This is what grownups and civilised beings do and it is what mankind on Earth has yet to learn! It is the smoothest road. There is a lesson in that!
Everyone's Future! Humanity is not in a good place at the moment. We are notably regressing. That is, going backwards. Back towards warring tribes and the jungle. Largely, it has to be said, due to leaders who are a bit backwards themselves. They certainly don't understand how to behave. They also don't understand what needs to be done. As well as all the unnecessary greed, war and division, we have governments and world leaders who simply lie through their teeth. They haven't even learnt the basic lessons in life. Lessons that we teach to our children. This behaviour seems to be becoming more blatant and more prolific, rather than the reverse. People in authority who simply cannot be trusted and behave like irresponsible children. Until the time comes when we see some serious change, it's difficult to hold many to account, as they protect themselves with their paid dogs, repressing any decent opposition, and even verbal criticism. It is crucial that we, as humanity on Earth, arrive at some point soon, where we understand the importance of responsibility and where we can hold ourselves properly to account, at all levels, regardless of who we are, if we do or inspire things that are not helpful! We really do need to start putting our emphasis in the right places. Life is not a game! It's taken a lot to get where we are. More than we are capable of appreciating, obviously! We don't want to throw it all away. We should grow up, work together and take things seriously, because it is a serious thing! That is, everyone's future!
Unhelpful Behaviour! There is absolutely no reason why Earth cannot be an absolute paradise for everyone that lives here, except for our animalistic behaviour. Earth has been gifted, that is provided, with everything we need to achieve this. We are not short of anything except the will to behave and manage things accordingly. Unfortunately, those who put themselves forward, saying they're fit to lead, are often far from it, and between them, simply lead us all into a mess. The decent people in this world struggle to correct the problems because, although most just want a quiet well-managed life, we can't have it due to idiots in charge. There's always one. In fact, in this world there's always quite a few! It is about time we were all held properly accountable for the damage we do and the problems we create. This is important! If we are ever to evolve and move our world in a better direction, we must all be judged as to whether our behaviour is helpful to humanity, or not. If it is not, we must be held accountable and the ordinary people must have a democratic power of veto to prevent such bad, or unhelpful behaviour. Yes, we're a long way short of that aren't we!
Choice! It is a sad fact that we on Earth are currently somewhat small-minded. We divide ourselves into little groups and gangs with ridiculous indoctrinated notions of all sorts. All nonsense in our minds, and all due to our leaders and influencers, who struggle to see that there is a much bigger picture, called our universe. However, although there are many in this world who would perhaps currently think otherwise, there is ultimately only one divide for humanity, as with all life, and that is between those who are good and those who are bad. This is simply summed up by whether we leave a smile on people's faces, or a trail of victims. In other words, is our behaviour towards humanity helpful, or harmful. Constructive, or destructive. Useful, or not. And let's remember, for human beings, how we behave is a choice. As we will come to understand, life REALLY IS about credit and debit. Some call it merit and demerit. Some call it karma. Some say, what goes around comes around. However, whatever you call it, what it means is that all actions and inactions have consequences and at some point, a line will be drawn. There is still time for us to make sure we are on the right side of that line! Again, it is up to us! I reiterate, how we behave, is a choice!
Responsible! Although we are a long way short of this understanding at the moment, everyone in society has a responsibility to society and society has a responsibility to everyone in it. Just as good behaviour puts a smile on everyone's face, and has a feel-good factor, bad behaviour upsets people and creates victims. The higher up an individual is, the more the quality of their behaviour impacts everyone, and if they behave badly, the more victims there are. Our political systems are currently a long way short of considering everyone in society. They mostly revolve around the greedy and the corrupt. Bad behaviour is criminal and crime costs! Costs the victims. Costs the public, and ultimately, costs the perpetrator. People may think they can get away with it, but nobody does! We are all held accountable, eventually. Even if you think you're untouchable, or nobody is watching, there will come a time. Everything you do in life is recorded on a file in your being. Yes, life=file / file=life. It's an anagram and another part of a message to mankind. When a person sees their life flash before them, that is what they are experiencing. A standard of data management above our current level of understanding. If we want this world to become civilised and we want to share in that world which lies beyond this one, we have to understand how to behave and the importance of being responsible. Especially if we want to be in charge! The bottom line is, if you can't keep everyone happy you shouldn't be in charge!

The Story Of Mankind
The One Question
The Real Enemy
Greed
The 'G' Word! Human beings need four things in life to survive in relative comfort. Food, water, shelter and energy. Energy is THE most abundant thing in our universe, there's plenty of water and the planet, with sensible management, has abundant food provisions. That just leaves us with shelter. In the UK, this is the most evident department as to reason why we have not properly provided for people. Of course, it is the G word; and we're not talking about God! Greed is THE number one problem in this world, and yet some people think it's acceptable, as they help themselves to more and more, and more and more!
Victims! Politicians consistently allow greed to come before welfare! However, it is not just those who rely on welfare who are disadvantaged, it is everyone that helps turn the wheels of any society, that pays the price for greed. Greed is a disease that blinds people to moral obligation and to what is right! It is also a form of abuse, and should be understood to be a crime, because it creates victims!
Civilised? We are groomed from birth in this world to accept routine abuse as normal. Unsavoury animal traits that are still inherent in our social systems - bossing, bullying, oppression, exploitation and greed. Remnants of our animal heritage and HIS TORY on Earth. Greed is one of those animal traits. The question is, can humanity rise above the animals far enough, to eradicate our animal traits and become civilised?
Regression: Rather than rising above the animals, over the past few years, humanity has become more dog-like. This is due to the poor quality of leadership. If we have people in charge who think and behave like dogs, it sets the tone and encourages others to be the same, and the whole of humanity starts to regress. We see the negative impact of greed, setting pack against pack and the resultant mess!
Struggle To Survive: In the UK, things haven't got better, they have in fact got worse! In just about every area, the quality of service has gone down and the price has gone up. Greedy people have their fingers in all the pies, creaming off the top, giving as little in return as they can get away with. In the meantime, people struggle to survive, unable to afford rent, buy houses, heat their homes, or feed their children.
Break Down: Greed is a serious issue that politicians currently have no answer to. Technology should be doing more of the work, giving people more leisure time. However, this has not been the case, as the rich simply see technology as a means of making even more money. Unless we rethink our ways, with the advent of A.I., greed will become an even more serious issue in our future and society will break down!
No Future! There are lessons we are all here to learn in this world. How to be content with having enough, is one of those lessons. It is necessary to have enough, but it is not necessary to be greedy, or to take more than you need. If you are lucky enough to have enough, be content, don't be greedy. Put something back to help others. Greed causes so many problems. There is no future in greed, for any of us!
Valid Life Principles: We should now be able to understand that everything we have, see and do, is based on workable principles. Without the application of these principles, we would not be here. Greed is not a valid life principle; 'valid' meaning a principle that works and allows us to exist. To put it another way, if your body behaved in this fashion, it would fail and you would die! Think about it!
Every Chip! Although we are brought up to accept the world the way it is, there is no justification for the kind of animal-trait abuse that still mars the quality of life on this planet for so many. Greed is selfish, unnecessary, unacceptable and unkind! Regardless of the scale, or the size of the machine, every part needs to be oiled and every chip needs to be powered, or it doesn't run properly. Just like this planet!
No Need! Nobody in this world has been invoiced for the facilities they have been given. Facilities that most of us simply take for granted. Arms, legs, eyes, CPU (that is your brain), etc. How much do think these things would cost if you had to buy them in order for you to function and enjoy your life? Quite a lot! Then what about the considerable wealth of this planet? The provision of abundant food and materials of every kind. How much? It's incalculable. There is a lesson in that. As we have been GIVEN all that we have in this world, there is no need for greed!
Pie
Society: Right, Or Wrong? Ten people sit down to eat a pie. The person at the head of the table dishes himself up 90% of the pie, leaving just 10% for the other nine people. The nine people apportion and eat the 10% between them, but afterwards, they are still hungry. The person with the 90% only manages to eat 10% of his portion and he is full, because that's all he actually needed to satisfy his hunger. Right, or wrong?
It's a 50/50 question, but can YOU pick the right answer?
The Con Club UK
The Equation: In any society or conglomerate, everyone in the equation is part of the equation. If you are going to put yourself forward to be in government, you should be prepared to look after the people, all the people, not just yourself and your mates! Unfortunately, governments in recent times, regardless of polarity have failed to do this.
The Con Club: In recent times an elite group of people in our society have taken this country for a ride and to the cleaners. Profiteering through essential services, housing and other life necessities, they have selfishly and ruthlessly structured our society to benefit themselves, paying themselves very large amounts of money, whilst the common man struggles to survive, many failing in the climate they have created.
Life Essentials: In a properly managed modern society, everybody should be entitled to expect a fairly paid job, somewhere reasonable to live, food, water and enough money to live on without enduring suffering and poverty. We have the technology to achieve this but we do not currently have the goodwill. It is the job of any government to provide the basic bread and butter, life essentials, for its citizens!
Greed & Corruption:
In lesser countries we see governments failing badly in these areas because of greed and corruption. It seems that this country is currently no different, as the rich controlling elite selfishly manipulate society to suit themselves and their grossly inflated fortunes.
Morally Imbalanced: Failure to fairly and properly address greed and achieve a reasonable balance of fair play in our society results in poverty and suffering, increased crime and social tension and a morally imbalanced, ill-bred society, just like the one we currently live in!

Why is it that so many people are struggling to make ends meet and yet so many people have more money than they could ever possibly spend in a million years? How much do greedy people actually need at the expense of others who can't afford to eat or feed their kids?

Non-Profit Essential Services And Facilities
Essential services and facilities should be managed for the benefit of everyone. However, unfortunately we have seen a considerable degree of devious exploitation and profiteering via such services at the expense of the ordinary people and this contributes towards people not being able to afford what they need. Essential services, which include food, water, shelter, power and transport, as well as civic services, such as the prison systems, rubbish disposal, roads and infrastructure, should be managed on a non-profit making basis, however, this is no longer the case as it has all largely been privatised and monopolised by the Con Club. For the ordinary members of society this means the price goes up, the service goes down, jobs get lost and people end up out of work.

The Tipping Point
A call for politicians to understand and heed the fact that if you cram too many people into any given area whilst diminishing the facilities and open space, the area reaches a tipping point where social conditions deteriorate rapidly and crime goes up exponentially. The area becomes too congested and the quality of life goes down for everyone. In fact, life becomes impossible at times. For any area to be healthy, it needs room to breathe. It needs sufficient facilities to accommodate people and enough green and open space for people to stretch their legs and be comfortable. Where this is not the case, we see the resultant effects and the increased cost to society in health and social disorders. If we insist on treating people like battery-hens we will never get the best out of them. But then, what more can we expect!

With people living much longer nowadays, the population booming and the considerable additional strain on health and social services that this gives rise to, perhaps it is time to think about putting a cap on the size of families in the U.K., especially families that are state dependent...
Good Idea Deprivation
A call to make it illegal for big companies to buy up the rights to anything that would otherwise be seen to benefit people or planet, for the purpose of preventing its manufacture and availability purely to preserve their own profit and greed. Many good ideas have already been bought up and shelved on this basis purely and simply so that companies can ensure maximum profits. Where progress and technological evolution is concerned, anything that can be seen to benefit people and help preserve our environment should be developed and made available. The suppression of such otherwise beneficial ideas for greedy individuals' monetary gain is morally unjust and, as they have an inadequate and out-dated moral framework, it should be made illegal.
Human Rights?
It is this simple - if you have breached other people's human rights, without thought for them, you do not deserve, and should not expect, to have your own respected. If you do not respect the human rights of others, you give up the right to your own. In other words, don't bleat on about no consideration, when you give no consideration! Be done as you would do unto others!

Human Rights - When Is It Right?
Not Very Sporting!
Our politicians have structured society so that rich individuals can benefit through the exploitation, slavery and misery of today's young people, who have had hope taken away from them. They are expected to work on minimal, or zero hours contracts, in poor conditions, for pathetic money, just so that the rich owners and directors can go out and buy another Rolls-Royce or even a football club. No matter what hours they put in, until this changes, they will never be able to afford living life in this warped, corrupt and perverse society. It should not be allowed, but unfortunately is because those in charge allow themselves to become part of this corruption. Such people should know better, but unfortunately, up until now, it seems they don't!
Are We Fit?
Some people are not fit to wear the uniforms they wear or to be in the positions they are in. Lies, corruption and abuse of position still permeate much of the fabric of our society. Such lies, corruption and abuse of position spoil things for the ordinary decent people. We patently need more honesty and openness in society and everyone needs to be accountable and seen to be doing the right thing by society as a whole! Whatever the position they are in from top to bottom!
Local Council Resource Allocation
A diversion of resource allocation from
unnecessary, motorist unfriendly, traffic schemes, and other such disagreeable and wasteful installations, to the provision and promotion
of more activity centres and facilities for young people with emphasis on giving them something worthwhile in order to get them of the street corners where they often get into trouble and cause problems for local residents.
Accounting For Actions
A call to institute an 'account for
your actions policy' which will be levied against council departments and individuals shown to be responsible for abusing public funds by spending them on schemes that are obviously a backward step, a non-improvement, or that nobody wants. After all, if you are going to spend (or waste) someone else's money you should be accountable for what you spend it on and answerable for your errors, just like anyone else in any other job. Just because you work for local government doesn't mean you should be immune. All public servants and departments should be accountable, not untouchable.
Manage Facilities - Don't Take Them Away!
It is becoming more and more apparent that local authorities all over are depriving the public of certain facilities rather than being bothered to address any problems with them.
Social Representative
An idea for individual streets, or groups of houses, to have a voluntary social representative, who can liaise between the people in the street and the local council, or local councillors, for the purposes of making sure people are happy with the services provided and to bring to attention any problems with a view to achieving an expedient and satisfactory resolution. At the moment people still get walked all over and cannot have what they want in their own streets without corrupt, unwarranted and tyrannical interference from local authorities. Who bully the residents and do what they like regardless of whether it is right or best.

Fed Up With The Rat Race
Why are so many people so fed up with the rat race? Simple. The balance of emphasis is far too far over on the need to make money. Why? Because life is so expensive, and because all too often, people are not paid enough money for what they do.
Slavery Still Abounds In The Western World
When the time came to abolish slavery, we all thought that humanity was reaching a new level of understanding and appreciation, a new era of enlightenment. However, be this as true as it may be, it is also true to say that slavery still abounds in the modern western world. Nowadays of course, slavery is disguised in a way so as to make it less obvious, but nevertheless, it is still as prevalent as ever, even in its disguised form. The controlling factor is no longer fear and intimidation, it is instead, money. With the aid of money, the controlling people realised that they didn't have to be quite so blatant about their domination of the subservient. Here are some of the dictionary definitions from the Oxford Dictionary pertaining to the word Slavery.... Severe toil, exhausting labour, drudgery. The condition or fact of being a slave, servitude; onerous subjugation. Subjection to, or domination by, a specified influence. The practice or institution of keeping slaves, the existence of slaves as a class. Sound familiar?

Slavery And Greed In The Modern Western World
Social Conditioning
People are conditioned by the experiences they have in life. If a person has the wrong kind of experiences, they will be conditioned to exhibit undesirable tendencies.
What's The Choice?
There are any things a person can get into in this world, some are creative and enhance and improve the quality of life for others, some are destructive and degrade and impair the quality of life for others.
Fuel Rip Off Make Rich Richer While People Shiver!
Why are the fuel companies, which supply our gas and electric, a utility which used to be owned by the people, now making an absolute mint for the rich while so many ordinary people are sitting around shivering because they can't afford the prices? Dec 2004
Those At The Top Who Abuse Others!
There have been many pathetic little creatures in this world who, one way or another, get in a position of power and use that position to abuse others. They are weak and impotent on their own, but they utilise those around them to bolster their egos and dish out their filth. However, people don't have to support them.
Trust
If you are not trustworthy you should not be in a position where you have power over people. And yet, how many of our world's leaders can actually be trusted? Any?
More Social Blundering?
Watching the Ch5 documentary, The Man Who Took Shannon Mathews (8th Dec 2022), it became very clear that there was much more to this happening than was revealed at the time. It was very plain from the documentary that the Michael Donovan needed some help, however, due to concerns by the school, rather than give him help, social services decided to take away the man's daughters, breaking up the family and causing considerable heartache. Not only were the daughters separated from their father, but were also separated from each other. The subsequent police investigation into the abduction of Shannon Mathews, who at the time was about the same age as Michael Donovan's daughters when they were abducted by the state, cost 3 million pounds. Society also had to pay to keep him in prison and then a psychiatric hospital, because he never recovered from the devastating impact of losing his daughters, something that must have been absolutely heartbreaking. What happened to so-called 'care in the community', I wonder? Would have been a bit cheaper wouldn't it!
