dump nuclear
http://www.million-against-nuclear.net/
nuclear power is not going to solve our problems now anymore than it has in the past.
it is only able to exist with heavy public subsidy, and a monumental turning a blind eye to the consequences by both our governments and us.
this is the nuclear industrys last ditch attempt to save itself from extinction.
much as the GM companies claim that they can save world hunger with modified foods the nuclear lobby claims to be able to solve our energy needs.
but its bullshit.
thats just what i think anyway.

in the garage i pull a bike out and it knocks the gas main conection.
i tried blocking it but every time i get near i cant speak. feel i am suffocating.
panic. family is inside. call the emergency. who is calling the emergency, am i?
feel i am suffocating. i stick a pencil in. a pen. the wrong end of a garden fork.
it still comes out and i have to run out of the garageunable to speak or scream.
i run to th eneighbors but semi collapse on the lawn trying to explain but nothing comes out.

rageing egos,
paranoia and
knives in the back
will not stop the rising tides,
they are in themselves a form of poison
hanging in the atmosphere.

kingdom come
"The economy is rolling along an endless plateau, and consumers are bored with the view. Something strange is needed to get them to sit up."
"The consumerist society is a kind of soft police state. We think we have a choice, but everything is compulsory. We have to keep buying or we fail as citizens."
"The danger is that consumerism will need something close to fascism in order to keep growing."
"We're like bored children. We've been on holiday for too long, and we've been given too many presents."
from Kingdom Come by J G Ballard

found this while looking for something else.. it is now my screen saver
The most recent interview by children in South Africa, with a very cool lieutenant from the Manenburg police - check out what he has to say at the end about ' success '
Let's hope, like he says, that this does promote peace after such a long time.
Please sign an urgent action calling on restraint by China who have imposed the most horrendous crackdowns against monks at Kirti monastery and the Tibetan people in Ngaba town with the installation of hundreds of Paramilitary Armed Police, the closure of roads and the cutting off all communications to the outside world.
all nuclear explosions mapped from 1945-1998

IT CUTS BOTH WAYS .... THE ALTERNATIVES. This is a film exposing the alternatives to the government's austerity measures; it's about the positive; it's about revealing the many options we actually have at a time when we're being told there are no alternatives
Japanese Red Cross. Please donate if you can.
Those big drag nets that trawlers drop to the bottom of the ocean and decimate all life in their path?
And use radar while local fishermen loose their livelihoods? Just to fill empty shelves in Supermarkets? This lot are using lottery money internationally to stop all that.
Beautiful, and a little disturbing.
"is this what we're doing now?" - quick! Watch all episodes on iPlayer (for the next few days) if you're in the UK. Best british comedy in ages, so well played and written. Right up there with Curb Your Enthusiasm!
Prague Show filmed by fans - released 23.08.10
Another great film by warmeye...
Chinese authorities arrest Tenzin Delek, a Buddhist monk, and sentence him to death .. please go to the online petition to try and secure his release, or at least a fair retrial...

Tim Hunkin's inventions, under the pier at Southwold. I keep trying to go there but not quite making it. Maybe you'll have better luck. Go to Ipswich and turn right.
depression is not fussy about who it hits. and feeling isolated and powerless doesnt help especially when yer young and all. this site has lots of people sharing their experiences which is what us humans need in order to cope.
Great dance music site, lots of old articles and features, dj mixes
Found this extraordinary shop in Brighton last week. It's well worth a visit...
“The relationship between photographers and police could worsen next month when new laws are introduced that allow for the arrest - and imprisonment - of anyone who takes pictures of officers ‘likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.”
maybe it's about time the likes of Apple took responsibility for the manufacture of their products, as they're supposed to be so cutting edge.
As we're lifelong contributors to 'anthrophony' we're pretty culpable....but still, fascinating studies.
Look to the stars!
The Chestnut Tree Café. ...it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

As they say, we don't live in the Information Age, or even the Oil Age. We all have to eat. We live in the Agriculture Age.
Download books on to your Blackberry instead of using it to send email, 'browse' the 'web' or any of the other tedious business-related 'apps'. It'll still look like you're really really busy.
This is great if you should be doing something boring for someone else.
Man, I couldn't even read this, it looked so scary. But maybe you can? Maybe it has a happy ending?
Fascinating, horrifying, beautiful photography.
Put that important work aside. Slack off. Play this, it's great.
