Special Human New Paradigm 

As the huge 747 landed from a heat soaked LA into a mist covered, rained on London a huge crowd of saggy eyed, smoke stinking, coffee breath paparazzi lined up, pushing, shoving, hustling, bustling each other for the best position to snatch the best shot.

First to appear are the first class flyer’s. These guys feel very special, they think they are special, the are the first class flyer’s. 

Because they are special they are allowed to leave the jet first avoiding the commoners, being able to use their own stairway to a lane of priority.

Next of course are the business class flyer’s. They are special but not as special as the first class. They have to leave the plane second, it feels special but not as special. They look up to the first class flyer’s with envy, sneaking looks through what feels like the holy area of business class into the holy of holy class, fist class.

The next to appear are what the pap’s call the cattle class of humans. These are just regular people doing regular things, holidays, visits, seeing old friends, seeing the sights of Hollywood. They get off last, they get no real special treatment, they get of in huge amounts, line up in huge amounts and get irritated and annoyed at the special people in business class and first class.

They pass business class seats and say things like "wow, I’d love to sit there" "we could never do that" or "look at them, who do they think they are".

They usually leave the plane glad they didn’t crash land and moaning about something.

Years ago there used to be a TV show on BBC called Tomorrows World. The guy behind it was a man named Raymond Baxter. I loved it! His show was all new paradigm in science.

Once a week it would arrive on the screen around 7pm on a Thursday evening.

He would bring on new ideas, new inventions, new thoughts that would give us a better, brighter, bigger future. The world would be happier because tomorrow would be a better place to live.

I remember one episode. He pulled out something they called a CD. It was to replace vinyl as a recording medium. They demonstrated how strong it was by first spreading jam or fruit preserve on it then washing under a tap and then finally playing it. It really didn’t work as well as they said it would but it showed the hope of a future that would be better than the now.

Clothing would be lighter and more spaceman like. Houses would be powered by the sun and water only. Everyone and anyone would be happier because the people of tomorrow or tomorrows world would be much bright, better, bigger place. We’d even be living on the Moon or so they told us! The ultimate new paradigm for a young fresh mind.

And as I write this in the city of Manchester we have just had a couple of days of rioting. It’s also interesting when you walk around the city after the rioting to see the shops that were targeted by the teenage rioters.

Nike clothing, Bang and Oulsfen, Sony, Apple, ALL the cellphone shops, all the computer and TV shops. Most of the others just had bricks thrown through them while the gangs passed them.

I wondered, is this a… continue reading
