Global Warming: Humanity's Only Hope
The thought just occurred to me: Global Warming might be a good thing. Yes. Indeed.
I am stunned that there is little or no opposition in the UK to the television service going entirely digital. That's right, analog is soon to be no more. Instead of turning on a telly, and viewing, you will have to be registered and charged monthly — everything you see will come through a wire to your house.
In the US Viacom is suing Google. May Google win! Apparently, following their legal actions against 12 year old schoolgirls, the gluttonous entertainment industry is now worried about low-res tv clips put up on YouTube. rights! rights! rights!
Viacom is only following others, such as the Association of American Publishers, in their Google pursuits.
Welcome to the machine. Not pink. More red.
I am a writer. First and foremost, I want people to read, digest, discuss, love and hate my work. Perhaps, with this Global Warming, some rains will come, flood the circuits of all this self-devouring beast, and turn the power off. Irreparably corrupt the code. Quiet the virus. Kill the cancer. Then, instead of being sat at home waiting for our culture to come through a wire, filled with the same old nothing — people can gather, once again, as humans instinctively do, and talk, read, share, digest, discuss, love and hate?
Yes! That's it! So turn on every light in your house! Warm up the kettles! Crank up the air conditioners! Fire up the cars! Microwave everything in sight! Let's get THIS PARTY STARTED!!
'The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...'
Vivé le Resistance!
