Commited luddite that I am, I have decided to blog because there is so much going on that bothers me and I don't know what to do about it so it just leaves me frustrated and angry.
I think there needs to be more debate about what is going on and an attempt needs to be made to work how to do it better.
Just as an example - elections are won by money, money for the political parties is provided by rich individuals, large corporations and unions. Do you really think your MP believes he or she was elected to serve you? or perhaps they are more aware of who provided the money for their campaign? This is easy to say but what can we do to change it? State funding of political parties?
I'm not sure that is the answer but something desperately needs to change.
Cheers
Luddites weren't anti-technology, they were protesting against the fact that no provision was made to offer work or support to those made redundant by the new machinery.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. Nice to see you exercising your catharsis muscle.
