Letter to Martin Hesp
2nd September, 2005
Dear Mr Hesp
Too selfish for collective care
You give a really wide ranging proof of your contention that real
people
like us, are so short sighted, as to risk the human race going down
the
tubes. One simple flaw in your assumption, is that you and I are
equally
selfish and uncaring. These huge generalities, always seem to apply
to
someone else and not to us.
Therefore I must seek your agreement, that although your assumption
appears
to be true, there is a totally different explanation for our seemingly
gormless behaviour. Let us start with the price of petrol and appreciate
that over 70 per cent of the traffic on our roads, is for commercial
purposes.
Commerce demands an enormous consumption of fossil fuels, to the
extent that
most petrol is used as a dire necessity in order to survive. That
is
obviously a lie, because we can survive very well on very little.
Probably
survive very much better.
But we are constantly reminded that our greed knows no bounds and
is
insatiable. But that is not true of you and it is not true of me.
What is true, is that billions and billions of pounds or dollars,
are spent
on advertising and seducing us, so heavily, that we go ever deeper
and
deeper into debt, to buy what we are told we must have, under hypnotic
command.
The horrible truth is, that we live at a time of global commercial
warfare.
A war in which there is no respect for human life and no prospect
of peace
in this bit of Eternity.
Genocide is now standard operating procedure for survival of the
wealthiest.
Build a great city below sea level, in a flood plain, in the path
of known
hurricanes, fill that city with unwanted blacks and wait for God
to breach
the levees.
Then shuffle the nations feet, whilst we watch them die.
Our collective guilt is refusing to see the truth of commercial
warfare, and
in refusing to see its cause and to continue to live our lives in
a
gridlock, instead of waking up.
It is time for you to gradually use your enormous success as a
journalist,
to nudge us into wakefulness.
Doctor Edward C Hamlyn MBChB
