light reading

Light reading We are striding into the new year with news of an earthquake that got people to sit up instead of slumping on the sofa watching a Netflix banalities Inundated with film, one realizes most of them are hastily put together and consist of a dramatic fight scenes, the hero wins and gets the girl. This morning, the news again focused on Japan a plane landing collided with a stationary plane five people were killed, which was lucky we give great press by airport accidents Ten people dead in a motorway accident have not much drama unless you are in the pile-up In Libya, the slave trade capital of Africa, this dubious honor happened when Qaddafi was murdered He, the dictator, was not the worst of his kind, there are times when the only thing that protects a country from sinking into chaos is a strong man. With him out of the way, the human traffic commenced South Africa had a plan to let Qaddafi leave Libya settle in an African state, but no, the west wanted him dead I have read so many rich people (millionaires) have not got their riches from the production of things such as machinery or engineering, with the possible exception of Elon Musk I suspect the entertainment press is trying to lure him into a life of glamour. The middle class is not producing but get titles working in the social sectors, both public and private, but it is not a type of employment that creates anything of lasting value As for the working class, the hard hat section is of immense value their contribution to the welfare of our society is not recognized properly This leaves us with millions of people who have no function at all, and with very little education We see them in big cities where their life is so tedious they take to drugs and think ***** is a love life. If nothing is done to harness the destructive power these people represent we will end being ruled by the mob
