From Above

[Dot]

In the year 2020, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in Australia and said "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.''
''Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark! ''Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed."
"Firstly, I needed a Building Permit."
"I've been arguing with the Boat Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system."
"My neighbours claim that I've violated the Neighbourhood Bye-Laws by building the Ark in my
back garden and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Local Planning Committee for a decision."
"Then the Local Council and the Electricity Company demanded a shed load of money for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea.
I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it."
"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl and I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!"
"When I started gathering the animals the RSPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."
"Then, the Australian Environmental Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark, until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood."
"I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission
on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building gang."
"Immigration are checking the Visa status of most of the people who want to work."
"The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience."
"To make matters worse, the Inland Revenue seized all my assets,
claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species."
"So, forgive me, Lord, but it will take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky!
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it."

Isn't that the truth. Doesn't matter what side of politics you subscribe to, we have collectively stuffed this world of ours.

I think it is more the case the bureaucratises have done what they do best and that is to ensure job security for all present and future such creations and creatures that breed within this life form, such as it is at present and what ever it may become in the future.
All this very cleverly hidden under banners that can justify their existence and find a host or hosts to feed it ...... the ultimate parasite pretending to be symbiotic while actually not being of any real benefit to the host it is draining of both financial strength and the will to live ......

With a sales pitch like that I reckon it would make a great basis for a thesis about the very people who would peer review it

Ok, I'll stop now, I'm blaming the new hearing aids for the sudden surge in brain activity that caused this

Even after running it through spell checker and Google to see if I used the correct words, I'm still not sure

If you used the correct words for a bureaucrat with a new pen you'd be censored out of existence
There's nothing more dangerous to civilisation than the above person.
