My gripes against the richest 1%

There are times when we need to act and this is because more the things change - the more similar they are:

  1. It does not make any difference to the top 1% of the population globally as these people are really rich and most are cursed with a disease called INDIFFERENCE.The rich are not really bothered about how much some blokes down in the street pay for smallest of neccessities like food and water.All thee people care about is that is/are my interest(s) safe.
  2. The really powerful are really headstrong and are seldom willing to listen to the voices of ordinary people.
  3. Governments toe the dictats of such people 99 % of the time.
Today another fuel price hike is likely to happen in India and prices of all commodities are likely to increase and on the other hand the government is providing free power to farmers and the less said about the price of water for the rich and famous in India the better as the world will never see a more skewed picture of how pricing goes wrong and why nodoby is held accountable.Bureaucracy,police,politicians and judiciary are equally to blame for this sorry state of affairs and all forget the one basic fact of life-everybody dies and has to give an account of whatever one has done in life.

The rich and famous will not escape this accountability and neither will members of the oil cartel who are rolling on the floor and laughing at the ease with which they get higher oil prices never mind anything else in the world the rich people have to get more money and luxuries-the best you know-nothing short of it.

Maybe rarely these people act kindly and do something for satisfying their own guilty conscience but it is a very rare event!.if you feed a poor person once and insult that poor person everyday what is the really great thing that you have done?

I would openly appeal to people who read this blog to act on the opportunity to reduce energy prices in India once for all and change the dream called India-by actually making it come true!learn to accept people as they are and be ready to put your money where your mouth is or forever get used to being cheated by hypocrites.

This is why I appreciate companies like www.ebay.in - at least they really try to bridge the distance between a buyer and seller.

A few really good sources on info on energy are:

www.sunwindenergy.com
www.solarbuzz.com

Act to reduce the cost of energy before more people die and kill for energy and the right to live a decent life.
