Something wrong with the world today!
The World


BURN!!!!!!


The most powerful man on the face of the earth is caught with his pants down. The media moves into full swing, to bring the news to the world. And what happens? No one cares!! He is still loved by everyone. Just look at the reaction he got when he came to New Zealand recently. People lined the streets just at the chance to look at him. The local media had a field day, the headline news for the night was Clintons golf score when he played the husband of our Prime Minister. Forget about what has happening else where in the world, golf scores are important.

Now Clinton is getting ready to be involved in another attack on a country in turmoil. After millions of dollars of damage was done in Kosovo, which Clinton came away guilt free from, it is now time to join forces and attack the new foe. A foe which, funnily enough has been armed and trained by America and Britian!!! Murder no longer is immoral to the world. No one seems to take life seriously any more. With 'masacres' like Columbine, or the recent shootings at a church, we are led to believe that people view life as less important than before. Although massacres of this sort have happened since time began, the media is making it seem like a common place thing.

The multi national companies are showing more and more that they don't care about the lives of people. Shell oil is destroying the land of the natives in Nigeria. They are killing them at protests. Nike, and many, many other 'brand' name companies are 'employing' children to work in their factories. Although many are aware of this, they still buy, showing they have no value of these people's lives either.

These are all results of the political scene at the moment. The globabl capitalisation of everything has led to companies trying to find the cheapest ways to mass produce their goods. War can be justified by anyone with media links. The right wing has grown. Hate is running rampant. Yet we all just sit back and relax. We have freedom, We have Democracy!! We have capitalism!! These, we are told, are all we need to be happy. But what about the poor? What about the slaves? The political prisoners? Where is their freedom? Their happiness?

The truth is they will never be happy under the present system. And their numbers are growing. Because of the revival of the right wing in New Zealand, the bottom 80% of the population has suffered, while the upper classes, making up 20% have prospered. The rich are STILL getting richer, while the poor are STILL getting poorer! The present system has failed. We have been led to believe that we have all we need, and so apathy has taken over our great nations. Opponents to this way of life are still viewed as communist thugs. All the enemies are portrayed as violent killers by the media and government. The muslims want to rape and kill your children. They want to kill the Christians. They are teh enemy! I know my enemies, they are the teachers who taught me to fight me! The media tells us that the muslims are evil, but who was killing who in Kosovo? It was the Christian groups, the ethnic serbs, who were killing the muslims. Along the boarders of Chenya, 200,000 Russian troops prepare to attack the state, made up primarily of islamics. The USA, which is viewed as THE Christian country of the world, attacks and kills anyone who opposses them. They arm anyone who is willing to fight for their system. They attack the Chiapas, they kill the KLA. One million children are dying every year because of trade embargo forced on Iraq, a country which was once armed by America.

This cannot continue the way it is. But it will. It will because peopel read the news, they watch the TV, and they don't care. They live in peace, in happiness, in lies. And they do not want to risk that to help another. They pass the beggars on the street, while they buy up the products that have made them poor.

There is something wrong with the world today, but I know what it is!
