THE LOVE BUS GOES TO LOVEVILLE!

The Love Bus follows no fixed route. You never know when it will show up. And no matter where you hop aboard the Love Bus, it will take you to only one destination - and that's Loveville!

Jsun Snook drove the prototype Love Bus in Australia...

... and was rewarded with the lovely Luisa (from Magdeburg, Germany)!

Why is BN pushing its fossil fuel agenda?

Fahmi Fadzil talks to Sabah environmentalist, Wong Tack, about BN's outrageous coal plant proposal

Najib went to France early this year and he signed another dirty multi-billion-ringgit deal with the French to supply Malaysia with a nuclear power plant and technical assistance. Why did he do something so stupid? Because he's severely compromised by previous dirty deals involving submarines and a murdered Mongolian interpreter, that's why.

And why are some so-called experts defending the use of nuclear energy when everybody knows the inherent hazards of radioactivity? Because nuclear energy is BIG BUSINESS, that's why - and mostly benefits the crony capitalist elite while putting everybody else at risk.

Those who stubbornly resist alternative energy are the same people who continue to perpetrate armed conflict and polluting technology. They're the Guardians of the Matrix who are panicked by the thought of radical reforms in the way humans interact with the natural environment. Their fanatical anthropocentrism drives them to push for shallow and spurious forms of "development and progress" that only serve to widen the gap between the haves and havenots. That's why they're convinced humans need ever increasing amounts of energy - Mother Earth be damned! Not for a moment will they entertain the notion that it's their obscenely self-aggrandizing lifestyles that are destroying the earth and enslaving their fellow humans. They desperately need to keep power centralized and in their own hands!

Why is BN pushing its fossil fuel agenda? Because BN is a fossil party, that's why!
