Government
Failure
2003-2004
Are the leaders of our countries
controlled by big business, influenced by oil companies and
"sponsored" by big money investors?
No.
Populations control their government
leaders indirectly over the long term. This means that "So
as the people go, so will the leaders".
Oil and Fuel prices have continued to
climb since 2001 due to the constantly increasing demands of
the population. Gas prices are predicted to increase by 200
percent by 2005.
Government leaders might need major
cash contributions from large business to pay for their
campaigns but in the long run it is the people who have the
power to influence politicians and change the course of
history.
Here in the United States a vast
number of car owners have chosen to drive high cost - low
mileage SUV's (Sport utility vehicles). Drivers say they
feel "safer in a large vehicle because of all the other
large vehicles on he road".
Now people are even buying surplus
Army vehicles that have been cleverly disguised as "family
vehicles". LEFT:
"Hummer" High cost freeway assault vehicle - Driven by small
humans who want to appear large "We the people" have created oil
shortages, high fuel costs by demanding low mileage vehicles
and most people have rejected Electric Cars, economy cars,
bikes, wind power, solar energy, and the other technologies
that would have made life better on earth today.
When the major auto manufacturers
introduced Electric Cars in 1997 at the Los Angeles auto
show I heard more snickering, laughter and negative comments
then were said about the "pet rock"... Many of these
comments were quoted at corporate board meetings after the
show -
Now President Bush is voting in
legislation to cut more trees in our forests, drill for more
oil off our coastlines, clear natural lands to be used for
logging and empowered power companies to lower their clean
air filtering standards.
What can You do
to Help?
Speak up!.
We live in a civilized
democracy that people have fought and died for for hundreds
of years. Write a letter to your Congressman, these letters
are bullets he/she will use at government meetings. Write
and article and submit it to your local newspaper, these
letters influence writers to find new subjects. Create a
webpage and post it on the web.
Don't waste your time
marching in the streets with signs and flags. We all know
these "rally's" are just oversized tail gate parties and it
embarrasses us all to have "ecology lovers" trample the
flowers in the parks to prove their causes.
Recently in
southern california a bunch of "earth loving ecology buffs"
spray painted pro-earth grafitti on new cars at several
southern california auto dealerships... This ticked off
people and showed how "some people" are using pollution
issues to justify destroying property and to vent their
anger towards their parents... What were they
thinking?
Invite other people
around you to form an opinion. Ask your neighbors what they
think, but please don't tell them what to think., If you are
right people will follow...
