Brave New World

Brave New World
5/3/12

Nearly finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley….Critic and philosopher Bertrand Russell was right…it could all to easily be a predictive text for forthcoming reality..I wish that the growing and accepted phenomena of omnipotent surveillance, micro control of the populace, and the dangerous creation of children without sex and the entitlement to sex without children were all seen today as creepy and frightening developments…but no …despite their sinister application , spying upon and overzealous policing of innocent people (tasers start at 50,000 volts!!) and the absence of mother nature uninhibited are simply not acknowledged let alone subjected to scrutiny. We are photographed and filmed constantly…abortion clinics
are routinely situated nearby to IVF facilities within the same hospital buildings…
police seem to be morphing into military units and have been issued with weapons to use against the great unwashed (that is when they actually emerge from their patrol cars) And then there is the loss of our democracy and sovereignty…who asked the government to wage all these wars on our behalf? Who asked that we become part of a European super state? Not we the people that’s for sure!!! Isn’t all this is an abomination of humanity’s humanity? Isn’t this leading ultimately to destruction of the family …and destruction of the nation state, consigning them both to history as weird concepts? Couldn’t we possibly unglue our minds from the distracting detritus that constitutes Britains Got Talent etc and with the gift of perspective attempt to view the wider picture and what is actually happening to us??
