PRISM fuel

As life goes further, it seems more and more to me like it’s some kind of test. Go insane and you’ve made it, you finally realised how to break down all boundaries or at least realise that they aren’t real. You feel the wrath of those who’ve gone before you pushing in like four walls in a horror house, you want to focus your energy in and explode out causing a million butterflies to spawn, but I just sit on the fence getting ever more crushed by the weight of the world.

I'm Australian, and in my state New South Wales they have bureaucracy nailed. You make appointments online for anything that takes a long time and most tasks can be done online in a few minutes. Here in Germany, Munich to be precise the system is utterly dreadful. I arrived and collected my number at 8am. It's now 09:30 and I'm still waiting. I'm not sure why they only have appointments here one day per week and the non appointment times are from 7-12:30 or so only on Monday and Wednesdays. The most painful thing to see is the exorbitant amount of number plates that get collected from vehicles every time the registration changes. I'm not sure what happens to them after that but it's certainly unnecessary. My state recently went to a system of electronic registration, there is no need to change plates until they are no longer readable. OAO

Why are corporations allowed to rape the world? Why can people make decisions which allow people to live in poverty? Why may loggers and miners pillage the earth for their profit?
