HOW TO ARGUE WITH ANTI-WHITE RACISTS 9

Most people are unhappy with their country and the world, whether on the left or right. I’ve been campaigning as a rebellious youth and then critical writer all my life. I believed in the revolution a la Russell Brand until learning more about the world at university. Youth seem to think the revolution will bring a utopia where they can dance all day, a la Avatar‘s Pandora etc.

However the reality is likely to be a few days of celebration followed by years of hardship; and probably violence, especially against women; and then a new authoritarian leadership, and probably greedy corruption.

For those in the Western democracies who criticise their leaders’ corruption; as I have to my cost all my life; should know that European and white-majority countries are top of the non-corrupt leagues, and the most corrupt are those in Africa, Middle-East and Asia, according to the Global Corruption Index.

The top fifteen LEAST corrupt countries are European, plus Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The rest of the top 23 are European except for Singapore (16th), Japan and Hong Kong SAR China.

How to argue with anti-white racists 4

European countries dominate the Environmental Performance Index, and many, such as Norway and Netherlands, fund countries elsewhere in the world to preserve their habitats and wildlife.

For example, the ‘Norwegian government paid the South American country of Guyana $250 million between 2011 and 2015 to stop logging and protect its forests.’ (mnn.com).

Happy International Women’s Day

Women are half of humanity.

Reflection 3
Between the freedom of travel
and the solitude of home
is a fantasy world
called society.

Happy New Year 2013

Yesterday we travelled the world with the New Year, from east to west with the new sunlight and darkness. And today we wake to a bright sunny morning. Everybody and everything at the Greenygrey wishes the world a Happy New Year 2013…

Looks like a day for rambling…

Relevant Quote for Folding Mirror Poetry

Just saw this quote in the latest Publish Your Own Ebooks newsletter, and thought it was relevant for fmpoetry (the writer could also be a woman of course):

“[The writer] has to be the kind of man who turns the world upside down and says, lookit, it looks different, doesn’t it?”

~ Morris West

Science Stories about Brain and Space Inspired Poem

Hi, it’s Wolf Whistzer, news hound at the Greenygrey. There were lots of interesting stories in the latest World Science newsletter, so I’ve copied the links below. Some of them partly inspired Marc Latham’s latest FM poem about similarities in the shape and scientific knowledge about space and brain. Enjoy.

* After anesthesia, “primitive” consciousness
awakens first:
Brain structures that we share with many animals go
into action first as awareness emerges, research finds.

* Coupled stars seen as chief diet for hungry
black holes:
Black holes at the hearts of galaxies may grow by
swallowing single stars from pairs of stars, a new
study proposes.

* Earth-like planets could number “billions” in
our galaxy:
Red dwarf stars host an abundance of worlds that
could hold liquid water, astronomers report.

Scientists have identified a planetary system that
they describe as a likely survivor from one of the
earliest cosmic times.

* 2nd study links pesticide to bee epidemic:
Mysterious collapses of honeybee populations may be
explained, scientists say.

scientists say:
Dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico are showing signs of
