Women's Liberation for Those MCPs Who Don't Understand




I still smile when I remember replying, to a woman who quoted that line to me, 'until the battery runs out, when they need a man to change it'.

Which 'remembers me', as my daughter used to say, of a conversation I could not help overhearing between two women about how women can do everything and don't need men, who are completely useless. One of the women broke off from her tirade for a few seconds to swing round and ask my colleague if he could fit her new windscreen wiper blades for her.

3D Printing




The potential of 3D printing is unlimited, offering as it does self-sufficiency in high technology and freedom from the tyranny of manufacturing, retailing and built-in obsolescence. Legal types will, without doubt, have countless hours of highly profitable fun arguing about ways and means of protecting patents and intellectual property rights, politicians will be much exercised by the perceived need to regulate and control the application and use of the technology and money grubbing parasites the world over will pay sycophantic placemen a great deal of money to devise ways of appropriating and exploiting the same for their profit and our further enslavement.

Just as technology seems to have made really big wars so destructive they have become a thing of the past so it seems to be making the appurtenances of big business so restrictive they need to be sent the same way. We cannot put off for much longer the much needed and long overdue realignment of social and economic relationships.
