Secular Café For serious discussion of politics, political news, policy, political theory and economics and events happening round the world

Whom do you blame for the mess we are in and why? Oct 29th 2012, 18:21 The world is a mess. 1. Wars, all over the planet 2. Danger of nuclear, chemical, biological, space-based weapons (deployment or accident) 3. Environmental degradation 4. Massive levels of species extinction 5. Depletion and pollution of natural resources 6. Massive and unspeakable cruelty to animals on farms, the food industry and in laboratories 7. Mass starvation on the planet 8. Epidemics and Pandemics at ever increasing rate 9. Climate change runaway threat and ongoing negative effects 10. Massive poverty, ostentatious gluttony, increasing desperation and crime 11. Fundamentalist Religion’s resurgence 12. Millions of young brainwashed and turned into neurotic wrecks 13. Whole generations dumbed down 14. Corporate stranglehold on politics and communication 15. Meaningless, farcical ‘democracy’ 16. Torture practiced openly all over the world Who are your favorite scape-goats and why? I am sure you have more than one, so please list them in order of their guilt as you see it. My top candidates are, in the following order: 1./ Scientists 2./ Journalists 3./ The Public I know this is not the expected list, most people would start with politicians and businessmen, but I have a reason for this grading. Scientists are number one because they have given the bastards the tools to threaten the world with: weapons of mass destruction: chemical, biological and, most of all: nuclear: thousands of nuclear warheads on hair-trigger alert aimed at each others’ cities, homes, children – it is unforgivable because they should know better – they have the logical minds to see the truth and they (with a very few exceptions) don’t care. Many of them invent, install and help justify destructive practices in both industry and big pharma. Journalists are number two because they prostituted their profession to the exact opposite of what it is supposed to be: educate and inform the general public who had no higher education and wouldn’t know how to find the truth. The Public is number three because they are too lazy, hypocritical and complacent to make an effort in order to find out the truth and stand up for basic decency, fairness and justice. These three make the politicians and the businessmen, who are just opportunists riding on the gravy train, possible.
