Safety ninnies have done and continue to do American over-the-road trucking a big favo, but not exactly in the way you might think.
Organized religion is inhabited by a lot of hypocrites. Religious hypocrites wrapping themselves in versus and chapters are sort of like a disease germ or virus that hides in a host for a period of time to strike at a later date and/or act as a transmission vector. Religious hypocrites carry the spores and transmit the disease of moral decay. In fact, the people that came over on the Mayflower carried the spores of the moral disease with them that would ultimately cause the downfall of the New World civilization they were intent on establishing.
I do see these things as facts. There is a science to this stuff, but somehow we have been all conditioned into believing it’s just opinions. A lot of people tend to bury their heads in the sand because it’s just too painful to contemplate, or they focus on the wrong things as being the source of the problems.
In a nutshell, I believe about 55% or so of the American people are in a suggestible state, separated from their common sense. Wrong looks right, and right looks wrong. In other words, 55% or so of Americans currently see the things that count backwards. I believe if and when it gets to 2/3rds, or 66.6% of the population in this state, the situation is out of control and cannot be salvaged. Hitler Germany was in such a state, and the only thing that prevented the cancer from taking over the entire world was the US. We are dangerously close to 66.6%. At the current rate of moral decay, we will likely tip the balance to the wrong side in no time. The world could end up plunging into a modern dark age enforced by technology. Imagine what Hitler could have done with modern technologies such as GPS, RFID, and remote-controlled armed drone airplanes, just to name three.
I’m thinking of skipping the 2009 Blogging & Podcasting Convention at the end of October in Las Vegas in favor of going to the World Tattoo Convention in Las Vegas in early October.

666 equals 2/3rds — when the percentage of hopelessly brainwashed people hits 2/3’s in a society or the world, write it off, it’s finished.
Tom. How you doin? good. that’s great… down to business… listen man… I have been afraid to admit this, but I have been harboring it since I saw STAR TREK. However I heard the twinge in your voice as you discussed the latest Star Trek Movie. That twinge has provoked me to open up my flood gates and let it rip (so to speak). STAR TREK sucked ass. I say that as a devout Trekkie from the beginning. What a fucking cop out. Yet – What a wonderful idea for a business franchise. So, yeah I see why…. but fuck that… what a total back stab to all the original fans. I will comment in far more detail in my next podcast.
Am doing great. I have to say in a way I agree with your assessment of the latest Star Trek movie. They obviously compromised it in order to give it a sort of shallow mass-market appeal. The characters were too shallow and flip for my tastes. On the other hand, I will settle for any major new Star Trek movies because it helps to keep the overall franchise alive and it increases the liklihood they will come out with more and perhaps better material in the future. It had the feel of Superman meets Flash Gordon meets Spider Man meets the latest special visual effects. The “altered timeline” premise for the plot was basically there to throw a bone to the so-called Star Trek “purists” that want every episode to strictly follow the rules already laid down in the existing Star Trek universe. The biggest regret I had for the movie was a lack of a moral to the story — it was all for pure entertainment. I was entertained, but somewhat disappointed as well.
If I had my way, they would make a Star Trek movie with a completely differnt set of characters, sort of like the did with Voyager and Deep Space Nine. Ultimately all Star Trek fans have to face the fact that Gene Roddenbury has long been dead, and Star Trek has been slowly slipping into something else since.
