Well there you go Poirot. Much easier for you to be poor,
then you don't have to worry about these things in the
first place :)

British QC Polly Higgins is doing a tour of Australia at the moment discussing the idea of Ecocide as addressed in her new book.

http://www.pollyhiggins.com/Polly_Higgins/Welcome.html

I raise this because Higgins has submitted to the UN the idea of Ecocide as being just as important an idea as Genocide for the long term future of the planet and its peoples.

One of the main thrusts is that Profit is protected as a First Right by law ie. the first responsbility of corporations to shareholders, over and above all other considerations.

This of course has significance not only in the context of this dicussion but to environmental destruction in local communities where corporations and governments might collude against the interests of the people/nation. Most signficantly in countries where there is a high level of corruption and lack of governance.

The Occupy Wall Street campaign and Polly Higgins' tour marries well together in and mirrors some of the same objections around lack of corporate responsibility.

Occupy Wall Street: Populist Financiers Supporting Protesters Is Part of the Problem, Not the Solution

*Personally, I think the biggest liability here is what I like to call the "equal pay for gay whales" theory.*

TRTL, I think you've nailed this one perfectly. For that is
exactly what is happening.

interesting docco on sbs
all watching machine...

anyhow the last half explains a fair bit
that part explains how the asian solution
[ie the 80.s bailout by imf,was only to get the capital back to the capitalists...so they could take the money and run..LEAVING tHe debt with the tax payes without jobs]

its the same thing re greece
even with a haircut...of up to 62%
any extra that gets lent to greece
ONLY PAYS BACK THE BANKS...[who foolishly lent it to pay back other loans][even german/french tax payers paying extra burden..only ensures they in time will get mopre austerity]

its that damm one peercent
that spend our pension super etc
then get bailed out..again and again
ever bigger bailout..ever bigger bonyus..till in the end we bailed out the very system that brought capitalists down to peons

you might think..hey im rich[ie not super rich
but comfortable..i got savings..[i got investments]
i got collectables stocks shares cash...but once no one got any money your effectivly broke too]

how much will the last liter of petrol cost
or the last loaf of bread..once the art market collapses..who will buy your rembrandt?..[except for pennies on the dollar]..or when some peon burns down your house]

look police will do what you tell them to do
till that one day..you go too far

i helped deliver a solution
feel free to blame or shame
but really we got no problem

once you get over the fact your not in control
even if you are in part to blame
