doom and gloom
16 October, 2008 – 9:03 pmso while kim and liam were in brisbane for our nephew and niece’s christianing, i had to work through the weekend, big surprise eh, i should be used to it by now… i think i’ve finally reached the acceptance stage and weekends are no longer something i have, to look forward to.
to relax on sunday night i watched ‘children of men‘… i knew it wouldn’t really be relaxing, but i needed something a bit epic to take me away from what was truly a craptacular weekend (well, except for friday night)… so the movie. amazing, challenging, thought provoking.
what a concept; a whole generation missed through infertility, all of humanity are united and divided because of it. then monday night, i watched v for vendetta, i had no idea how similar the movies are!
unbeknownst to me until today, it’s anti-poverty week in australia! then, i saw this post and it got me thinking…
so in these movie studio created, post apocalyptic worlds, survival is key. but for us, in our world of inconvenient truths, battery hens and flat-out blind consumerism it doesn’t seem like we’ll ever reach the point where drastic changes will actually happen.
we spend time trying to prove whether or not we’re actually in danger of wrecking the earth, when… i dunno… maybe the government should step in… get serious about it.
i doubt that sighmon is completely right though, “vegetarians use 100 times less water” sounds like that statistic was made up on the spot. i wouldn’t mind going vege if it meant saving the world, hmm, can we exclude seafood and eggs?
so i’m not hardcore. but i’m not an idiot. and i do feel challenged.
