Not to mention how easy it is to sit back with the benefit of history and be shocked and appalled at past human behavior. How could all those people let that plague spread so far and fast? Hadn't they ever heard of indoor plumbing?<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, Megan. Some day, when the machines rise up (when you will welcome your robot overlords at long last), there will be volumes of essays written on the horrors of mankind believing they had the right to own cars.<BR/><BR/>(Not to compare car ownership with slavery, but that's just as vague and stupid as any of Megan's thoughts.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-73709882501467943562008-06-13T10:01:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:01:00.000-04:00Also, do go see Errol Morris' Standard Operating P...Also, do go see Errol Morris' Standard Operating Procedure, his new documentary about Abu Gharab.<BR/><BR/>Megan wrote: "I can't even imagine how you would think up the idea of forcing prisoners to get into a naked pyramid, much less actually execute it, so the photos feel like some sort of elaborate internet hoax, showcasing the wacky imagination of some crazy prankster."<BR/><BR/>Is she serious? Is she that deluded into thinking that she is completely divorced from her very base and animal self? I'm reading Nixonland right now, and I'm quite certain that if I were a young adult then, I would surely be rioting in the streets and most likely blowing shit up. Same goes for Frantz Fanon.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I can blow shit up in Halo 3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-13336140562697667912008-06-13T09:56:00.000-04:002008-06-13T09:56:00.000-04:00Yes but have you ever heard this band Arsis? http:...Yes but have you ever heard this band Arsis? http://www.myspace.com/arsis<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure they're evil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
