Tanning Oil
Today, I was laying by the beach watching what is visible of Kuwait City and I wondered for a minute: what would other tiny countries do (like, say the Armenia-Nauru-Dominica's of the world) with our country's wealth if it was available to them. I mean there is so much money in this small fenced desert by the shore, yet we fall pray to the shackles of a plutocracy and, more importantly, the pestilence of conservatism that holds what should be a thriving society captive to a "moral" conduct that was never there to begin with.
In my contemplative session, I realized that conservatism is purely a control issue. It is a method for the priviledged (the rich, men, ...etc.) to inflict a supposed social construct in order to control the power and corner it to thier side in insularity. That way, the rich get richer at the expense of the poor and underprivildged (for example: if women do not vote - a man's vote has more value, since the rest of the population has been "morally" eradicated). Becuase, I know for a fact that under this sun with this much oil pumping, Kuwait can easily be a better polished Seychelles in tourism, thus bringing in money rather than just wasting it. But, we are here trapped under the instructions of narrowminded bigots who wave the flag of thier interpretation of organized religion whenever science proves them wrong.
