| | Do you ever wonder what the people of the UN spend their time doing? I used to think they did things like help out violent unstable countries, and bring bags of rice to starving people. It appears they have better , more important things to do. Like banning plastic shopping bags. They choke animals in the ocean supposedly. Which would be a non issue if we would quit dumping our trash into the ocean. create a landfill, and when its full cover it over with dirt and make a park. One thing I find interesting... assuming they are banned, what is the alternative? Paper of course. Weren't we supposed to use plastic to save trees? I'm sure Al Gore will like us cutting down more trees. Anyway I think the UN even considering this joke is ridiculous and should be grounds for the UN being disbanded. I mean seriously, do you not have anything better to do with the time and money allocated for you?
Obviously, with a name like ih8censorship censorship issues concern me. I realize there is a time and place for it (for example not broadcasting every military plan and troop movement on CNN and for the sake of decency in society) But China takes it to the extreme. Requiring certain software on peoples machines? If Richard Stallman spoke Chinese he would be all over them haha. It's stupid though. They claim its to protect people from porn and dangerous websites. What is dangerous is defined by them, Like for example the bbc and the wikipedia page on tienamen square protests amoung others, including countless bloggers.
What people dont realize is this sort of thing happens everywhere, and people dont realize the government as a whole doesnt want to help people it wants to control them. We're lucky in the USA because the founders just got out of a situation of opression so they did what they could so that it would never happen again. Little by little though it's going back to more of the same, and politicians do whatever they think they can get away with.
I havent done much of a personal blog entry in a while have I . I'm not that interesting I guess, at least not as interesting as current events. What have I been up to? Well after a long period without work i'm currently working like a madman so thats good. I'm still finding time to program, lately i've been using PHP for a project. Still doing construction work! I did have a shot at a programming job though, but it just seemed like a situation where it would have been too much for too little. Anyway time to do other stuff!
