?Positive? Discrimination is Putting Lives at Risk Mon Apr 28, 2025 13:00 | Daniel Fessahaye
There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye.

I like the evolve thing - so wanted to add a little evolution thing i've got.

Nice Art. But what's wrong with being a motorist? If a car is run on biofeuls what's your problem? Anyway surely it's the urban planners and Car firms that are to blame for car emmissions not regular punters that rely on cars as their only means of transport. You seem to blame them.
The raw materials which make the car are extracted and refined using fossil fuels with little regard to environmental damage. Just as the tarmac a car requires to run efficiently is a by-product of the petro-chemical industry.
What we need is a return to the horse, but one which has been modified or carefully bred to reduce its manure producing side-effects.
The horse is thought to have been domesticated (in the service of the great ape of the order homo sapiens (sapiens)) at some point in the last 7,000 years. It is thought to have completely replaced slave labour as the main tool of heavy lifting and pulling about 200 years ago leaving only 3 other quadrapeds competing its status as "number one beast of burden". The others being oxen, camels and the related donkey. Even today the principle cause of death in road accident in Latin America is a donkey or mule. A horse replenishes itself every 335 days and after only one year may be trained - it is thus quicker to produce and bring to end consumer than a car. A horse lasts an average of 25 to 30 years - a car does not. A horse is intelligent - a car is not. A horse is sexy - a car needs a naked big titted woman lying on it.
I'd also like to remind people that the perfectly functional simian village of "planet of the apes" had seen fit to keep only a few important attributes of its predecessor human civilisation -
Horses.
Magazine loaded rifles which the gorillas used.
Religion which Dr Zeus used to hide the truth.
Science - which gave the chimpanzees something to get their mind off constant shagging.
The ascent of the car caused the descent of the horse.
I defy any one to counter my 4 legs good 4 wheels bad theory. We can stop global warming in one generation.
while promoting an alternative to motoring, "the revolution will not be motorized" doesn't explicitly attack morotists. It is a complex situation, and surely no one individual (or cohort of people) is to blame..... the whole motoring/transportation industry needs to evolve.
But anyway, Hurrah! for bio-diesel!
being in colorado, usa, we don't have quite the same intensity of congestion as in ireland, but we do have too many suvs! and i have heard rumblings that our suv fad is catching on over there... that true? if so, that's a big problem for ye! there's no room for monster trucks!
(however, a lot of our public transportation vehicles are run on bio-diesel which would be great to push for in Eire. again, Hurrah!)
big LUV! and Viva la Revoluccion!
Thank you Sergeant Chaffer of CIRCA-US.
"The Revolution will not be Motorised" is not intended as an attack on ordinary motorists. It's merely supposed to encourage people to use green transport where possible, and to think along the lines of reducing carbon emissions.
"The ascent of the car caused the descent of the horse.
I defy any one to counter my 4 legs good 4 wheels bad theory. We can stop global warming in one generation."
em, do you plan to shift the cultural mindset that much?i used to think inside an activist bubble....it burst... now i have realistic ideas/thoughts....i am all for reducing emissions, recycyling etc but do you actually own a horse and ride it to work/social activities and just tie it up outside?how would all your food get transported before it goes off?do you grow your own food at home?
i`m curious.and not to sound overtly pessimistic but sure we can change the way people think in western society, but whats the plan for countries like China and India which are sprawling beyond belief??? i heard a fact that, if you imagine all of the structures and buildings in the whole of Manhatten, New York, well thats how much China is buliding each year.So the aim of stopping global warming in one generation is just a tad over ambitious.I dunno, I am no authority on the subject but time will tell and I hope, sincerely, that I am wrong.
4 wheels good but yes when the world population was 1/6 of what is now and nobody could actually afford any of the goods/services they crave now.its gonna take alot longer than one generation to quench that thirst for materialism.
The dripping paint on the red shell one is particularly evocative. And the remote control one is good too. :)
This is rather cool graffitti. Sadly most of the stuff I normally see is stupid mindless name writing and defacing by morons. IMHO this makes difficult areas even more depressing to live in and usually acts as a signal that it is ok for vandals to start messing the place up further because it's already run down. I've never understood what good graffitti-ing up and vandalising your own fucked up neighbourhood does. Now if it was all smart stuff like this, that might be different.
