It's Worse Than You Think... |

Just check out one day on www.whatreallyhappened.com Like this one:Revelations.
Despite the title, this is not religious. It is a micro-documentary about the Gulf Oil Disaster and how it will affect the United States and the planet. http://www.picassodreams.com/picasso_dreams/2010/07/revelations.html
---------------------------------- So as it all seems hopeless, Sabine and I decided to write some spoofs. The first one is: "The Rebellion of the Little Old Ladies."
Here in Australia Woolworths and Coles have an almost monopoly on supermarkets. In addition to their city stores they open new new stores on the outskirts of small towns, and they sell everything. Not only food, but almost everything else you can think of. So all the privately owned stores close up and go out of business.
In all these small towns there are charity shops, and most of them sell jams and pickles made by 'little old ladies' and the proceeds donated to the charity.
The jams are just fruit and sugar - nothing else added, and they are in recycled jars. These goodies are usually sold out the same day as they are brought in.
We were imagining Woolworths and Coles feeling threatened and attempting to take over the little old ladies business - and TLOL fighting them off with broomsticks and mops.
The other scenario was "How To Avoid Being In The Moment."
We are suggesting that being in the moment is just an escape from being in the past and the future. Even if we do not remember the details accurately, we know the past has happened. It is a fact. And the future is always going to happen - so why try to avoid it by being in the present?
Plus, the present is very inconvenient, unreliable, and hard to define. So why bother.

Definitely not to be taken seriously - unless you want to...
