...AID

First therewas Band Aid - which actually was the concert to end all concerts - and spawned a plethora of cheap imitations.

Now there's Live Earth. The concert for a greener planet or some other such shit - which translates to a hoard of popstars feeling good about themselves as they baske in adoration and thanks that they give up their oh so valuable time.

All lead by the demigod of climate change, Al Gore. The eco-report on Sky news has even jumped aboard (though probably just as ingenously as what drives them is ratings - see, money - see, power).

I used to think television news was unbaised, presenting nothing but the facts. Seems I was wrong.

I have written about this climate change thing ad nauseum and am growing rather tired at being ignored (story of my life :)). The fact is - while we as a race continue to breed at the current rate (well above a sustainable level), the inbalance we facilitate will just get more and more out of control. And the cost of redressing such a balance will also grow - to the extent that it becomes prohibitive. It's at that point already as a matter of fact - a fact, as it happens of which Gore is fully aware.

These concerts...waste of time. And I'll not even mention the enormous carbon footprint they will leave.

Hey, I know, let's save the planet by singing!

Jesus!
