The NIMBY MOVEMENT(NOT-IN-MY-BACKYARD MOVEMENT) has gained some slight impetus due to the upcoming elections in various places in the US and since the entire nation is 'my backyard' so-to-speak, the various games that politicians and corporations play gain some significance more and more.......However, the fact that local issues are seldom discussed or thought about in these games, people end up with few of their actual needs met......
Consequently, while our desires and wants are infinite, our needs are simple: FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER!
These basics are neglected and overlooked and dismissed in some circles as 'obvious' or 'simplistic' but the fact seems to be seldom considered by the 1% or the Plutocrats and Power Possessors who seek to,in the strongest words possible, 'EXPLOIT' the minimum wage earners, homeless, and minority groups of all kinds and descriptions within this vast backyard that they carve up for their 'domains'.....
Of course, this scenario is subject to contstant revision as people die off and groups lose their power and influence, if they ever had any, and the shifts in culture, society, language, and invention continue, altering everyone's backyard....from ultimate conformity to downright rubble.
Storms, hurricanes, slight earthquakes, and other natural phenomena only interrupt and inconvenience the general populace, while wars and conflicts around the world simply appear as 'blips on the screen' and distasteful images that mar the sports/music/movie,etc. routines of most who glue themselves daily to screens in avid and rabid anticipation of the delights of the day or evening, as they juggle their cell phones, i-pads, kindles e-bookings, and all the other necessities of modern life that keeps them struggling for hours on end in the endless 'rat-race' ....
