Even when Science is about people – it’s not for people: it’s a detached attitude that sees Global Warming as a matter of degrees – not disasters. It’s a perspective that elevates observation above compassion, or responsibility.
We’re cooking a pot of unsustainable policies; while Science monitors the safe temperature guidelines. How hot is it? Hot as Hell.
In our current government; citizens have been relegated to an annoyance – and if they can’t be dissuaded: they’re “ghosted.” We don’t need a paranormal investigation to expose these “new normal” ghosts – but we may need a new government to get rid of them.
Humor: it’s a Crime of Survival in the pompous victory parade over humanity and nonconformity. Our never-anything-but-superficial “diversity” is but another chapter in a Gulliver’s Travels authoritarian manuscript filled with Kafkaesque bureaucracy and Lord of the Flies social interaction. Coming next: The Big Event Horizon.
Along with a self-serving reasoning based on assertions and bigotry; presumptive statistics are used to give the appearance of legitimacy to the studies that support Social Policies.
There’s nothing like wars and other human enabled disasters for ensuring scientific progress; and employment.
The same scientific community that was so closed-mouthed as we raced into an industrial-pollution death spiral — has become proactive in protecting their sources of funding and fame.
Is this news story really so farfetched?
This drug poster is so much like a CDC Teen Tobacco poster – it’s almost as if they care.
Even if the shoe doesn’t drop – they’ll be running out of them when they see the wave coming.
Agriculture is more than just a “cash cow” – it’s a regulatory carousel that goes around and around to the tune of money and votes. If you want to predict what the future holds for a reduction of Agricultural Pollution; just look at the past 50 years: gathering data, updating “Best management practices” [BMPs], voluntary programs, and incentives that have resulted in increased in levels of pollution – and a flood of tax money into farming pockets – over and over. Even as we enter the drain that we’ve been circling; Agriculture isn’t changing — if the climate disaster they’re helping bring about harms their profits – tax dollars will be found to fill the gap.
Rural policy making isn’t just about indifference – authorities use deception, misrepresentation, and misconduct to actively target rural communities for urban sprawl problems.
When Lansingville Road residents complained of high-speed, reckless through-cutting traffic and no law enforcement; the County produced a 48-hour traffic summary that showed a decrease in the 85th percentile speed.
When research uncovered that it was conducted in the fog – they had no comment. And provided no law enforcement.
In this reimagined government “Secondhand Smoke” poster – I’m pretending that the victims of drug users and dealers have the same level of importance. If only there were anti-drug non-profits with the same deep funded pockets and campaign clout as the American Cancer Society: it would change our country’s institutionalized, form based agenda.
