Terrorists, anthrax, bird flu, peak oil and wars over water supply. We breathed a sigh of relief when the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union was dissolved.
Were there not terrorists, deadly bacteria and viruses, a knowledge of the finiteness of the world's resources prior to the 1990s? Sometimes I wonder if the news is not there to inform but to control.
Of course, I wouldn't be on the West Coast of Ireland if I didn't worry about sustainability or not wanting to work for the slave owning corporations in the cities.
I regard Islamic terrorism and resource depletion as a natural consequence of capitalism dehumanising the world. I hated working in the city and being referred to as a resource.
All I can do is live a wholesome life and hope that nature doesn't strike me down.
