Clime-Flu gives Capitalism Cannibalism.
Hmmm a year has slid past :( - I’ll tel you about it later maybe…
Here is comment I posted in response to “Reader Leaders” in the Guardian. Hope You enjoy it:
Clime-Flu gives Capitalism Cannibalism.
Today a meeting in Copenhagen known as COP-15 will commence to diagnose the illnesses of both our climate and unwittingly the cannibalism of our capitalism. One it seems has caught a nasty disease (Cannibalism) off the other. Climate has the flu, symptoms are raised temperature, runny glaciers and infected and acrid waters.
Climate doctors point to the cause as “living in an area affected by noxious gases”. Among other causes of Clime-Flu such as substandard living conditions which include lack of forest vitamins and fresh clean water. The Clime-Flu virus is also causing climate’s “sneezing” distributing another virus known as “fossil-flue”. The sneezing of noxious fossil-flue germs is also blamed for a reduction in climate’s immune system leading to many small and hitherto unrecognised immuno-efficient inhabitants dying off.
Doctors are unsure of the consequences of the reduced immuno-efficient organisms but say “it’s not looking good”. Another complication is billions of tiny bugs on Climate’s outer skin (see “germ-bank feeders”). In centralised locations these germ-bank-feeders are exacerbating the noxious gases that give rise to the Clime-Flu symptoms and fossil-flue sneezing.
Experts say that the probably infection and death rate from clime-flu will be approximately 1 of 1 or 100% and are concerned that they do not have an antidote yet and add that current infection rate is also 100%. They repeated their earlier sentiments that “it’s not looking good”.
After tests scientists investigating the clime-flu outbreak think they have identified an underlying cause which they have named “Viral-Capitalism”. They are studying the nucleus (known in clime-flu circles as “banks of germs” or just banks for short) of the virus source. Under test conditions they formulated “Credit-Lunch-1″. This ingested medicine did in fact reduce the effect of the bank-feeders by approximately 3% overall and up to 5% in a particularly sensitive centralised island, but they misjudged the resourcefulness of the germ-banks which immediately switched to larger feeders known as “Countries”.
On a better note doctors have made a remarkable discovery: The virus seems to be “self limiting” in the sense that Viral-capitalism is not just causing clime-flu but has also started to consume itself (the Cannibalism). They are hoping that they can help the Cannibalism process along by developing “Credit-Lunch-2″. But they have reservations on the efficacy of this without using a dose powerful enough to actually kill the patient. Also Climate in a strange association is quite fond of all the bank-feeders as they can be useful in clearing up the mess caused by their centralised living and in the past have successfully dealt with over-active germ-banks.
So there we have have it, COP-15 in Copenhagen must decide whether to give the medicine or not. If they do not then the germ-banks will tire of bank-feeders and countries and just feast on Climate itself. If they give the medicine it must be just the right dosage to strengthen and allow the bank-feeders to deal with the bank-germs.
