Warning on Water Tanks for Aussie suburbs

Oh what a good idea, decentralising the resourcing of water from huge ecologically unsound reservoirs and dams with their expensive to install and maintain piping, purifying and finally to-house infrastructures, to individual household rain-water tanks, etc!

So, with stampeding-sheep-like fervour, our over-consuming centralised-in-cities Australian public rushes to embrace their very own water-supplies, by buying and installing a household water tank!

"Yippee!"

Or, is it right to rejoice?

How many of them are able to correctly think it through?

Firstly, we in Australia are the most consuming mob on the planet per-capita, primarily because our brainless or agenda-ridden fore-'leaders' have played the materialist juggernaut's game of 'farming' the flock down to the smallest possible economic, sustainable units, called "nuclear families", where each 'micro-group' (mum, dad, 2-point-337 kids, dog, cat and canary) has to spend too many of it's beads-and-trinkets (income) on;
one housing structure;
one fully-equipped kitchen - one stove/oven, one fridge, one sink, one dining table and chairs, one set of cupboards and cabinets;
one (at least) bathroom - one shower/bath, one basin, one toilet;
3-to-5 bedrooms (not unreasonable, I guess) 3-to-5 wardrobes, 3-to-5 sets of what evry kids apparently needs, including these days some 26% having their own bedroom TV;
one living-room/lounge-room containing one or more sets of armchairs, one hi-fi system, one TV, one DVD player, one or more coffee-table, one bookshelf, one shitload of sense-capturing/distracting trinkets, 3 ducks on the feature wall, one feature wall;
one laundry with one washing machine, one clothes dryer, one cupboard full of one bottle of disinfectant, one bottle of lino-wax, one bottle of floor polich, one of any number of items all used perhaps once a month, or year.

Then, need I go on? There's the shed with, one lawn-mower, one set of cheap-as-shit garden tools, several loads of junk that were bought to break, break-down or lose their novelty in mere months, one work-bench, one vice, etcetera-and-on?

Then - the garage - one, two, three cars, bicycles (They're OK) and another load of little-used junk, because mum doesn't like it spoiling the backyard view from the back veranda;
one back veranda, one set of cheap-as-shit plastic or "cast aluminium" (WOW!) deck-chairs and table. The plastic ones eventually to end in the local council garbage dump, which we all know make-up a disproportionate amount of the trash at the tip......

Ooooh..... my......God?

Bewdy-aye?

What a national, cultural fuck-up!

Ah! Today we can slate the blame for THAT on our glorious Mammon-addicted Christian religious flocks!

Well done Jesus!

Or was it early Rome?

Or was it the "golden calf tribe" ex-Israel???

The Wise will put their money on the last one! And we thought, for four thousand, seven hundred and twenty squillion years that good ol' Moses wiped that evil lot out?

Shock Horror, Christian! You and your materialism (Mammon) are still very much alive-and-kicking in the nuclear households of every western nation, say what?

Doesn't that make you PROUD!?

Umm? Water Tanks....

NOW! Everyone (especially the makers and sellers) reckons it's LOGICAL to whack one fucking-big piece of molded plastic, ie., a water-tank (Oh! I forgot the fish-tank in the lazy-bastard-room - the lounge-room [Lounge: old English - 'lungis' - "an awkward, slow-moving fellow", from old French - 'longis' - "a lout"!?]) next to the 'confinement structure'?

Mmmm! - yeah - real good?!

I don't agree with the big dams scenario. All that has going for it is the "economies-of-scale" aspect. But as we have taken about one hundred years to figure-out, the negatives out-weigh the positives once such water-supplies get that-or-too big.

Other critical factors we fail to face-up-to, in respect to water tanks, as well as to the above nuclear household scenario, are the totally illogical, impractical, inefficient, expensive and massively polluting chains-of-production of SO MANY "personal" items EACH household is expected to afford, so-as the bread-winners are able to get enough sleep, nutrition and recreation, to remain stable enough in body-and-in-mind to face another day-week-month-decade or five at "the mill" to keep paying for it all!

Gee! MASS INTELLIGENCE!

AND, I must throw-in, to keep paying the corrupted, in-the-main Jewish and Christian bastards who run and control the financial ripstitutions we so nicely call "banks" for the home loan. Has anyone else noticed, by-the-way, that they more often call home-loans "home loans" today, having done away with the rather bleak-yet-quite-accurate title of "mortgage". A word deriving from the old French I think, or was it Latin, and literally means "death pledge"?

Merde!?

Gee-wizzz! MASS INTELLIGENCE!

No wonder a majority of Australians voted-in a political corporation (the Liberal Party) whose first priority is to keep their filthy-rich corporate mates in predator-marketing-of-materialism in favour, and supplying them with free wine, washing machines, dish-washers and dumb-fuck women to use them.

"Oh, but these WONDERFUL appliances give us more time to be dumb-fucks?!?!?!?*%&%*, and so we can sit back on our lounge (?) and read dar-link Kerry Packer's trash women's magazines!?"

Back to water tanks;- another potentially huge success story for water tank making corporations who manufacture the large molding-machinery with which to make them, and the petro-chemical corporations who supply the raw petro-plastics.

___________________________________

Economies-of-scale: one tank per 5, 10, 20 households (upon research) must be explored.

Also, the best way to reduce our excessive consumption in every other area of life, is to adopt a similar 5, 10, 20 household-scale in possession and use of most other of the above breakdown of what we fill our little (household) confinement areas with.

The nuclear family is an absolute rort, and exists primarily to profit large and/or multinational mass-product makers, advertisers, distributors and retail sellers. Those who psychopathically seek total control over we eager-to-be fleeced sheeps.

NOT at all for the pleasure, efficiency or Upliftment of any of the individuals forced to slave-on to afford all the junk-products found in the classic Australian, American and European nuclear family household.

"Junk products?"

Almost all of which are designed to last little more than five years - planned obselescence - to keep the CEO's, corporate middle management, advertising and marketing companies and the top 5-to-10 percent of the Human population ridiculously rich, and the rest of us, the remaining lower 80% relatively poor, in body, mind and in Spirit.

Goodbye Astray-lia!
