Gentle People:
Death does not scare me but watching a documentary featuring the atrocity we have labelled the Alberta Tar Sands project certainly shames and humiliates me!. I am ashamed that my Canadian government is allowing the perpetuation of the greatest polluting disaster on Earth! I am ashamed that they are covering up this mess with lies to the general public. Lies claiming we cannot have an economy without the Tar Sands or without Oil and Coal. These are absolute in your face dangerous lies! These liars are people who care only for money and power and do not care if you live or die with a climate that is becoming dangerous! These people believe that millions upon millions of internal combustion engines are necessary for perpetuating a world economy controlled by approximately 51 giant companies. They completely ignore the fact that global warming is dangerously heating up this planet and it is created by their Oil based industries. It is a slow and sneaky war against the people of this Earth. An undeclared war using psychological techniques. They use powerful sales advertising and mass Media control as human motivators. In my opinion these are subconscious weapons against the people. The author George Orwell wrote a book about thought police dominating our every move and he was correct! Today's thought police are subtle. They use Television and the print media and today mini telephones and cameras to keep millions of people occupied with buying their things created from Oil.
Giant box stores are doing booming business selling millions upon millions of 'things' and they have replaced religion as human motivators. Things do not have moral codes. Things are inanimate and do not replace the affection and love we all need from each other. Things will not hold your hand when you are old and say "I love you and I will care for you!"
Today things such as cars are created by robot controlled assembly lines in order to save the cost of human labour. Are these robots programmed to love and care for humans? The writer Isaac Asimov tried to introduce robots that cared but I can only wonder what we humans are going to do as more and more computerized machines take over our human labour. Creating "consumer needs" is a fundamental principal for industrial companies who want to sell their "things." However, in order for people to buy "things" they need money. To obtain money people need work. Money is the thing that today represents basic food and shelter and security for our human survival and it is, unfortunately, controlled and distributed by many top industrial and political leaders who simply don't care if we live or die as they introduce labour saving and profit making devices into the not-so-free-market!
In other words the giant soulless companies who create things also pay for political protection and when they get rich enough, own Banks. Banks distribute money and power coupons and ask us to spend the small amounts of money we average "consumers" accumulate in order to perpetuate the "economy."
Top of the ladder Industrial business people control our world economies and also our basic food and shelter systems. It is a scary thought! There are millions of people who do not have the capacity or the methods to accumulate money and such people have become desperate and dispensable. We can see millions of them begging for money and slowly dying on the streets within many large cities around the world!
Gentle readers, before we become too depressed, let me write how there are non violent solutions for the above problems. It begins with shopping in garden centres and planting vegetables and flowers and trees. It continues by creating Bicycle paths and shutting off your hot water tanks three times a week. It gains speed with all Electric cars and roof-top Solar Panels and continues from there. I will report back to you on where you can find many solutions to pollution. One of those places is "The Story of Stuff".com"
The customised Mira EV travelled at speeds of around 40kph as it drove non-stop around a car racing course in Shimotsuma in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The red and white vehicle, fitted with a special lithium ion battery created by the Japanese company Sanyo, ran for 27.5 hours covering a distance of 1,003km without being recharged.
A total of 17 different people took turns at the wheel of the electric car as it circled repeatedly around the racecourse during the experiment.
The test run was organised by the Japan Electric Vehicle Club, which plans to request that the Guinness World Records officially recognise it as the world's longest electric car journey, according to media reports.
The achievement is timely: Japan and other nations are bracing themselves for an electric car boom as car manufacturers race to produce competitive versions of the environmentally-friendly vehicles.
However, the biggest inconveniences for many potential e-car owners relate to charging – from finding a nearby charger to making sure that the car does not run out of power during the school run.
The latest epic electric vehicle drive of over 1,000 km effortlessly beat the previous world record of uncharged driving 555.6km, which was achieved last November by the same Japanese organisation.
