So where do we go from here?

I wonder what comes from keeping a blog, does anyone read them? Its a bit like keeping a diary but anyone can read it.


Things I observe about life today in general:

• why do so many people now when they are out and about on their own, like out for a walk for example, need to have an i-pod plugged in? What happened to listening to the birds or the wind or the surf or silence?
• Similar to the above, why do so many people need to carry a phone around with them? Why do we need to be so accessible?
• I think the first two above are linked in some way.
• Why do school children need to be conveyed to and from school? I use to walk or ride my bike, some 5 or 6 kilometers each way.
• Why do school children need a mobile phone?
• Why do push bike riders think they need to occupy a whole lane or ignore traffic lights or fail to give way to traffic?
• Years ago you couldn't wear a bike helmet into a petrol service station, yet we allow people to wear a Burka? Why? 
• If any religion is so valid, why is it then that this world is in such a mess? Surly if these beliefs are all what they claim to be then we don't have a problem. Or - if religion was a consumable product then Fair trading would be swamp with complaints.
• Isn't it strange how nearly all religions are based on some story that happened thousands of years ago. If man's intelligence is growing with each advancing century; then how intelligent was the average Joe back say 3,000 years ago? I'm sure someone out there could calculate this fact.
