getting creative in Carterton...

A concern with the perfectibility of mankind is always a symptom of thwarted or perverted development.
Hugh Kingsmill

got home from town this morning to find a flyer in the mailbox from who one could not exactly tell but enjoining people to get creative in designing a makeover for the town dunnies.
wow.
(try painting them with dahlias. the colour scheme will be a dream but the perfume will be a failure)
and;
revitalise places for low cost
design public places with PERSONALITY
engaged retailers and residents.
this is all bullshit and trying to make a rolls royce go with a 50cc honda motor.

womble womble womble.

This is not what is needed at all.
Carterton needs to be re-engineered and not fiddled about with by people who are vibrating so much that they delude themselves they are actually doing something.
Just painting something does nothing for the innards.

I have a degree in economic and business history but they dont want to talk to me.
they might have to listen to someone else who knows what they are doing and more to the point get squeezed out of the decision making process.
anyway Fuck em.
They know everything already.
yeah right.
I know how to get Carterton going again but I'm sick of getting brushed off by pinheads.
If they want me to tell them AGAIN then they will have to pay me professional rates otherwise my advice will be worth what it cost and that is nothing.
the thing is that all these people trying to do something have no experience in making anything anything happen.
sure they might know how to start a business.
THEIR business but then their blockheadedness and scelerotism sets in and they are like rabbits caught in the headlight.
or more like chooks running round with their heads cut off.
they haven't got a bloody clue.
