Why and how does such a village even exist in the 21st Century. Where have these people been? They haven't bothered to build a road in, oh, I don't know, the last 100 years?
"As the outside world starts to take a greater interest in the hilltop outpost, which earned its World Heritage label from UNESCO in 1999, the people there would also like to see more of the outside world."This has just occurred to them? Am I being insensitive?
Anyway, they want to build a road now. But the government has stopped them. Presumably because it will "impact" the "character" of the village, which is now a United Nations World Heritage Site?
In other words, the United Nations has decided that this primitive village, and all its inhabitants should be forced to remain in the Stone Age, so that the limo riding Africans and their fellow criminals at the United Nations can pat themselves on the back for preserving "culture".
I admit, I'm having a little trouble feeling sorry for the Sukurians, backward bastards who haven't gotten off their butts in 20 centuries to improve their lot.
On the other hand, the pure, unadulterated arrogance of the miscreants of the UN who value their counterfeit prestige in their bubble of corruption more than the health, safety, hopes and dreams of REAL people, once again demonstrates they are in league with the Devil.
Is is me, or is the world completely insane?
The Gunslinger
You and me both.
ReplyDeleteI've long thought that either I am insane, or this (Brit) society I find myself trapped in is (that doesn't exclude the possibility we both are).
I just don't think I am, that's all.
Gunslinger,
ReplyDeleteOT, but I've got a post with amazing pictures that may interest you. Rage or weep, I'm of both minds.

On one of the anniversaries of the Mount Everest climb, National Geographic spoke to the man who was the guide for Sir Edmund Hillary...
ReplyDeleteHe let them have it over people who want to "keep things as they were". He said, they maintain an historic village, but they LIKE having modern amenities and living with such things as heat and running water. But "purists" wanted to keep the village unspoiled!!!
Like you it makes me want to scream. "Unspoiled" for who? For some idiot who wanders in once in his life and feels like he's seeing history? How arrogant!
The guide let National Geographic know, in no uncertain terms, he thought that was the stupidest thing he'd ever heard. LOL. I was cheering while I read it. I'm really surprised they printed it, but I guess it didn't get in the way of their global warming ideology. Heh.
(of course we switched from NG to Popular Mechanics - much better articles)
Honestly Daphne,
ReplyDeleteI can't say I give a shit.
They dress like that because Liberty isn't worth the price to them.
"Give me liberty or give me death."
They have a choice.
They chose groveling existence.
And that's what they've got.
Life is hard. You gotta choose.
Then you gotta live with it.
(Hell, they're suing to wear the goddamned things in America and Britain, so what the hell do I know. Maybe they LIKE 'em.)
Teresa...you're too funny. Popular mechanics.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the mag that outed the Truthers???
Good on 'em.
I had a subscription to NG for years. Because it was, what, "brainy"?
Finally one day I realized at least a year had passed since I'd even opened one.
I finally got the nerve to cancel. It took a little longer to toss the dusty piles of old issues. I think I actually felt guilty.
I got over it.
alphadog...LOL
ReplyDeleteSorta like Qatar being "gutter".
