What We Can learn from History or Summin'

So, here I am again with another warning about our imminent death. Now just to clear this up, I’m not one of those mad people who stand in the street shouting at people telling them “the end is nigh.” I just look at the world around me and see it destroying itself, everyday, slowly with more interesting and scary ways of doing so. Also it helps that I’m a pessimist so I see the worst in situations, focus on that and instantly assume we’re all going to die.

Take the big news story of today, the collapse of some big American bank, I’ve forgotten the name. But apparently it’s been the worst day on Wall Street since the great crash of 1929 which triggered the great depression. Where thousands were made unemployed, homeless and became starving. In Germany this led to the rise of Hitler and Nazism, which in turn led to the start of the Second World War, which caused the death of millions and the mass genocide of 6million Jews. Now, I’m not saying that’ll happen again. They probably won’t be called the Nazis!

PLEASE NOTE: I don’t understand economics or anything to do with the stock exchange, the economy or the FTSE. On the news they talk about it and they might as well be saying “blah blah blah blah” because that’s all I can hear, so my predictions may not be entirely accurate.

Yeah the next story I picked up on was The Liberal Democrats saying how, if they get into power, they’ll cut taxes. They can literally say anything they want. If they got to power and carried out all their promises they’d probably be the most popular government for a long time. But they will never get in power. They can say they’ll cut taxes, they’ll say they’ll abolish student loans, they could promise a free unicorn for everyone in Devon if they wanted. They’re all seeing rent boys, cheeky girls or are alcoholics.

Anyhow, I said I wouldn’t write any more blogs, but here I am, but you don’t care cos you don’t exist. You’re not reading it. And if you are, you’re sad, I thought I was sad writing it, but you reading it???
