If you could bring back a person from back in the day... |

Edited on Mon Jul-24-06 12:43 PM by ck4829
And when I say "day", I mean the day when people believed that the Earth was flat, the heart was where the thinking happened, and that heavier objects dropped faster than lighter objects, and put them in the same room with a Bushbot, how do think a conversation between the two would pan out?
Here's how I would think it would happen:
Guy from back in the day: "Thou are an IDIOT!"

3. i'm with elvis costello: leave them in damnation's cellar |
|
Did anybody notice, over marmalade and eggs In between the Princess' legs What with wars and floods and beggars Not to mention stocks and shares If you have a moment to spare Can you write and reassure me that I have seen They're constructing a time machine There will be no need for the obituary pages We can have any hero from the bygone ages 'Til the truth emerges, the argument rages
Chorus: The major and the minor Turn from tallow into tar Should we leave them in their place? Down in damnation's cellar
When any form of deity that you might enjoy Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame If it's out there then science can explain it Or at least remove the blame And if theres is anyone you'd like to see again The speak up quickly
Send us back Da Vinci then we don't have to ponder The maddening smile of "La Giaconda" The critics say Nijinsky, the dancer, of course While the punters would probably prefer the horse You'll find it's quicker than history, cheaper than divorce
Chorus
Bring back Liberace or Ollie and Stan Shakespeare will have to wait his turn Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return I suppose we live and learn, though it's hard to believe as we cheerfully burn It's curious Some will call for justice. There are murders to solve What about Hitler? Or at least Lee Harvey Oswald Give us this day and everything we squander Anyone beautiful Somebody blonder They'll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy it Stop press: They've just decided to destroy it
Chorus

he's smarter than a Bushbot. He knows not to run out in the street in front of a car. If he makes a mistake, like getting caught in a skunk trap, he learns from it and never repeats it. He's also learned if he stands his ground when the dogs try to chase him that they become afraid of him. Guess whose lord of the manor around here. You can't say the same for the Bushbots.

5. I'd stick Thomas Jefferson in the room - |

No air conditioning (Thom would stay dryer...), very little water and a bottle of good vino - Bush would fold like a deck of cards and cry like a baby as Jefferson pounded him point for point on how he has destroyed the Constitution.
