Evolution is a Harsh Mistress
"I can't believe we're talking about nuclear war" <--- Who isn't right there?

Is that it? Is this how it ends? Whoever is willing to kill the most people wins? Still?

What twisted, malevolent strand of DNA has survived, thrived even, rising to the level of president of the United States? -that petri dish of our collective fortune as a nation, one who is either preparing to nuke his antagonist, or who actually believes that scaring the shit out of the universe will help him to attain his goals.

He should be shunned! The blemish on his soul is almost visible to the naked eye at this point. Reporters should be asking the tough questions like, Do you still have a reflection?

The cons have but to reach into the most primitive recesses of our national brain, presenting that first, most basic false choice: "fight or flight?" We were wronged-Do you want to be wronged again?-Even worse next time!-Will you run away from that, coward-liberal-democrat-candy-ass-thinking-person?

Whatever the fuck became of Cleverness?! Or Wisdom? Or The Enlightenment? Or Use Your Freaking Words? Did bunnypants miss those decades on planet earth? How about Respect? -and by "respect", I mean "don't nuke others they way you'd like to not be nuked by them"- Was Insult-to-chimps absent from Sunday School that century?

What do I know? I'm still (anachronistically) baffled by a strategy that destroyed exactly -exactly- what was needed to conquer a ruthless, yet gravely limited enemy who hides and preys upon the anger of the oppressed: Friends.

I can't believe we're talking about nuclear war.

1. Duck...and cover...
Too bad I can't notate melody in this window. That was a great tune!

Who else remembers nuclear attack drills in school?

6. Its only because we have a Level 2 Society..Nuke/Tech/Mech
Edited on Sun Apr-09-06 11:51 AM by opihimoimoi
but with Lawss and Codes of Level 1...worse, leaders who think, act, do Level 1 shit...

Instead of building from the Past into the Future...Bush tears down the Present to reach the Past...He is Ignorant because he is lazy to the Bone...He does not READ of the Past

Unorganized, Sloppy, Unable to think, Visionless, UnResponsive, Talentless, Selfish, Narcissist, etc...the man is a Willing Pawn to his own end...all the makings of a President of the Worst KIND...

7. You're talking about a group of people whose conceit
leads them to think they would be better off if only the dozen favoured families of wealthy ass-kissing thieves survived to divide the world between them. With just enough animals ... for that's how they regard the rest of us ... left for slaves and sex and food.

These guys are too stupid to understand what nuclear winter entails. They think that after a stint in their underground palaces they will be able to re-emerge to rule in a renewed Garden of Eden, each with a country of their own for a backyard.

The worst devils and vampires of fiction are angels, compared to these lying dick-brained murderers.

8. I guess it's folly to imagine that Beautiful Mind Bar ever indulged
in that whole 'use your words' aspect of motherhood. More like "I'm going golfing, btw your sister's dead"

9. Try googling for pictures of that little girl.
there is nothing there but a few postage-stamp sized pics.

And she was beautiful.

Yet there is nothing at all in her memory, only aggrandizement for the bastards who lived.

Her tiny pictures are indistinguishable from mine at that age, and my mother neglected me and tried to kill me. Looking into mama Bitsh's eyes I see the same smug hatred that sizzled within my mother.

At little Pauline didn't have to spend long with that family.

12. Thanks, and hugs back at you.
Each having a different past means we each have different strengths and understand different things.
It makes us much greater as a group than all being the same ever could.

:hug:
