Change the name...

What's in a name? Not much, maybe, but a single word can alter people's lives - words like "Live" or "Die". Since this is 2012, we have probably not experienced a single year this century where we can say that we felt safe. Governments seem helpless, in spite of assuring us that they are doing everything possible.
The major 'upset' seems to be Religious Fundamentalism (stress 'mental'...), which looks to be intent on destroying all that I hold to be true - The West, Civilization, etc. All in the name of 'their' Religion - well, it's certainly not mine! I can't call the Middle East or big chunks of the Far East 'civilized' - I can't, not when you look at the drivel spouted by those insane Religious leaders, or the truly demented actions in Syria.
We have had one financial crisis after another. And it does not show any signs of letting up.
So we have global problems. Big deal. Every generation has them, and has struggled through them.
Syria. Why do all of these politicios just sit around and talk,talk,talk...we had Afghanistan and Iraq invaded on less!!! There was no rational reason to go into these countries, and we have a mass-muderer killing daily....and we talk. And talk. It's another Bosnia mess. It'll drag on, and we will talk... A very sad reflection of the current state of affairs. Sanctions? Oh please - what's the body count going to be when that bites home?
Africa. What a mess! We have a few pots of westernisation, but generally they seem to be warlords having fights with other warlords, and the general population in the middle just has to try to survive until tomorrow.
America? Not all that it's cracked up to be. Crime figures through the roof, white Christian fundamentalists going for the top office (truly scary!). It's a mess, folks.
U.K? Well, since the Coalition have decided to get aggressive on finances, businesses are folding, forcing people out of work, raising the cost. Not cool. And the disabled? Hit them the hardest - because they can't fight back? So very not cool. This current 'Government' (or the attempt at being one) is due for a major kick, come the next election (if they last that long...).
So, in the face of all the conflicts, I find that I am becoming more right-wing. That does not mean that I am becoming any BNP follower, or some Mosley Fascist. It means that I like what I grew up with, I want to keep it. If the current middle-of-the-road pansies are doing their best, but losing everything around them, then it seems we need to invest in some serious change! I think we could see a BNP MP next time round - that'll shake up a few feathers!
