Disfunctional Genetic Code
Did you know that a in ages past in England the black nobility had plans to eradicate bad genes, if I remember correctly from my British history class. They wanted to eliminate people with less than perfect teeth, nails, etc. Hitler also wanted to rid the human race of a people - similar? People in power are just sick. My thoughts are a little muddled as of late. Oh, if you haven't watched "V for Vendetta", I highly recommend it. It tops my old favorite, "Braveheart".
Why are we spoon fed everything these days? All of the answers are given to us if we even hesitate an answer. Even in my typing, I give away too much. I never leave the mind to interpret for itself. I always want my readers to see it the way I do, and I really think I will stop that. If you have questions you can always ask me to clarify, otherwise, take away from what I type as your interpretation. This sort of ordeal breeds incompetence, as the mind is pickled by someone else's understanding. It also encourages assimilation. Perhaps that's why more and more of us enjoy the same things. Mass entertainment. I'm proud I've been able to detach myself from television and video games. When I'm online I try to be productive as well, although that can be arguable. I've realized that I am truly incompetent. I may have a few working synapses but, I cannot perceive the way I would like. I will strive to be a great mind before I pass on from this plane.
This post should really be many pages in length. Would you die for freedom, as our forefathers did before us? I know the right answer but in a real situation where I could lose my life, would I make that sacrifice? My friend, CAS, made an excellent point a while back. Say you are in an elevator with your spouse and she is carrying your unborn child. A man gets in and suddenly hits the emergency stop halfway up the building. He pulls a gun on you and asks, "Will you die for your freedom? I will spare your wife and your child, but you will die if you say yes. Otherwise I will bring down your country." Assuming that he kept his word, what would you choose? Your life and family's security or the arguably greater good? The average American is fearful.
People will sacrifice their freedom for security. Think of the safeguards in place today. Think of their absence and also ponder how your parents got to where they are and raised you without those safeguards. Warning: rant against president coming ahead! President Bush will attain archival phone data that he can use to track terrorists. Do these machines recognized keywords in different languages? If they don't, then there's no point in tapping our lines. I'm not saying that all terrorists are foreign, I know that they aren't, but terrorists are going to talk in codes, in another language, or some other means, so having machines that only recognize English will be a waste of time. I just don't trust this plan. It will be a conglomeration of information on a bunch of innocent people. If our rights keep going down the drain, what next? Are they going to eliminate freedom of speech in the future, and then go back and say, "Hey, you criticized the government back in 2005, you're going to jail!" Did you know they did this in the past? At that time so many people protested it, that the government retracted the plan. It was either that or one of the governmental bodies stopped it in its tracks. Now, we are sacrificing our freedoms because we are afraid of another attack; we fear for our safety. Really, I don't think that this information will be used against us for anything too serious, but just the fact that our privacy is being invaded irks the hell out of me. Everyday we drift further from our founding ideals. It's time to stop this shit.
Final though: In the movie "She's All That", a beautiful girl like the one Rachel Leigh Cook plays would have gotten all the attention in the world. Even when she was a nerd, she was hot. I think she'd be just as corrupt as the stuck up antagonist popular chick in the same film had she gotten all that attention. Lesson? We need to be humbled in our lifetimes. We can't always get our way because evils will root in the cracks of our flaws and grow.
