A point worth making

I did make a point in a reply to a post from Lilly a couple of days ago that I think needs repeating. This is not a going to be a political blog. For the record, as far as I am concerned replacing nu labour with the tories is a bit like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, fundamentally because none of the existing political parties are prepared to admit the scale of the problems that face both the entity known as Great Britain, or the planet in general because if they did they would have to admit their complicity in causing them.

I believe that people need to rely less on so called leaders and more on their own efforts in order to create societies both local and transnational which are geared to the needs of the majority of the population of this planet rather then to either the seemingly insatiable needs of giant corperations for profit or the equally insatiable need of politicians for power and recognition. I suspect that the chice that is faced by humankind over the next few decades is either to move towards such societies or to return to a very unpleasent form of barbarism. Whether humanity can achieve a better form of existance is, of course very much open to question.

And thats the extent of the political position that will be expressed here.
