Get used to it!
Most of the people who are here, live as though Ulverston was on another planet. They are extremely reluctant to believe they live on Earth and in particular Ulverston , Cumbria in the UK.
Even people who understand what is happening are reluctant to take in the reality of what is in the process of actually happening before their eyes.
When the Head of Google states that he's proud of his company's tax avoidance scheme because it's totally consistent with Capitalism, we realise what kind of monsters our western society has created.
We have human beings that will tear the clothes of freezing people and snatch food out of the mouths of starving people without a second thought because their prime allegiance is to the shareholders. They do not have allegiances to human beings in general. We have people who have lost their humanity and there are many if not most of the people around that have lost theirs.
The sad thing is that nearly all of us have a misconception of what it is to have 'humanity'.
Humans are in fact primarily selfish and that means all of us. We all need to learn this lesson fast as the world round the corner isn't the cosy place we imagine it to be.
"Get a grip" is a useful expression and one we all need to put into practise if we are to enjoy - yes enjoy - the rest of our lives here in Ulverston or even the world that is full of humans.
Here's an uncomfortable report that tells us 'like it is'.
Dwindling resources 'threaten global chaos'

When you've read, understood and digested what it's telling us, then let's talk and find out how we can still enjoy living in this very selfish world. . . . I can - which is why I'm learning and playing my clarinet!
And I don't see it as living with my head in the sand. . . .
