robot armies in the rearview mirror

So is Uncle Ken's dystopia of robot armies guarding the estates of the elite while Mad Maxers haunt the ruins in the rearview mirror of The Institute's limo, where the dawgs open their prayer books to plot the newer brighter world?  A fine bunch of movie producers you guys would be.

You know the fact that you guys decline to outline how this newer brighter world would differ from the one we have now, makes the whole point moot.  Do we want nice little communities where we love each other like brothers and sisters and seldom is there a discouraging word?  Do we want a world where people go to church five times a day and talk about god when they are not in church? Do we want a world where we crank out invention after invention so there is no disease and we live practically forever?  Do we want a world where we use those inventions to exceed the limitation of the speed of light and send out mighty death stars to conquer the galaxy and lead the inhabitants to a better way of life, or to grind them in the dust and make them pay tribute?  Do we want a world of robot armies and Mad Maxers and elites, provided that we get to be the elites?  We need a different kind of new man for each one of these worlds.


I think one of the reasons the US is such a loose cannon and gets into so many wars is precisely because we are the most powerful country in the world.  If bad shit is going down in Syria then we Americans feel that we should do something about it, whereas if we lived north of the border we would say Eh, what can we do about it, we're just Canadians.  If we stopped being the top banana somebody else would be and that would make them something of a loose cannon too.

Speaking of Canadians, I don't like that tariff either.  I guess tariffs would be fine and dandy if we were the only country that was allowed to impose them.  Well they would be crappy for the consumer, but fuck the consumer, these are the heady days of the job creators.  But the fact is other countries are going to be pissed off and impose theirs and eventually the rest of the world will be enjoying free trade while we are isolated to only what we can grow and make.  We would be a bit like those North Koreans would we not?  Doncha know Dump is just itching to try on one of those big hats?

Still speaking of Canadians, what exactly is that odd little interjection they begin their sentences with?  I had 'Aye' first, and then I changed it to 'Eh' but it still doesn't sound right.  Maybe somebody who lives just across the waters can inform me.

Is Old Dawg proposing election reform?  I think we had some limited little attempts at that dating all the way back to the aftermath of Tricky Dick.  We are in the age of the job creators now Son, we don't need no stinking election reform, inhibits free speech doncha know?


I agree with Beagles that it's useless to wish for better leaders without wishing for better people, the leaders come out of the people, we have met the enemy and they are us.

Beagles appears to be prepared to wade into the Trinitarian controversy.  Is Jesus the Son 'o God?  Is He the same as God?  Is He the same only different?  And where does the Holy Ghost fit into this? The last time we went through that it lasted several hundred years and God only knows how many lives.  Do we want to go through with that again?  On the other hand it might be a pleasant distraction.
