America is Obsolete
In watching portions of the Twilight Zone marathon Sunday I saw Obsolete Man . At the end, Rod Serling gave his usual summation and made an important point. A State that does not respect the worth, the rights, the dignity of man is obsolete.

America does not recognize the worth, rights and dignity of women, gays, the disabled, the poor, minorities, the elderly, non-Christians, the mentally-ill, and many others. Accordingly, America is Obsolete.

As an aside, I also saw The Shelter, where a doctor discovers his neighbors are, essentially, neocons.

All reich-wingers must have hearts and consciences implanted.

11. Um....Ms Buffie?
I don't know if the moderators will allow your post to stand, proudly as it does, but I'd say the odds are definitely against it as long as you persist in providing a little head there, as well.... :o

I'd at least remove your Mr Winky smiley...

Or did it get blinded in one eye by....oh....never mind...

12. Ah, he's been posted before
Along with many other naughty smileys. They don't seem to mind nude smileys, just nude humans.

19. If there's one thing I can say about the Twilight Zone
They had a way of making amazing observations about the human condition. That show, more often than not, is relevant to current life events.
