Wow (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] angry_biscuit)

Um ... how fucking self-defeating can you be?

Seriously ... your female candidate loses, so instead of getting over it and voting for the next best thing being offered in this particular election to what you wanted, you're going for the senile white guy who wants to stay at war for 100 years, and privatize Social Security (among other things not desirable for minorities or people who earn under $200K a year, I assure you)?

A vote for McCain is a third term for Bush. Your choice. Pass it on.

My take on this is that instead of making all these handy little gadgets better (ie, new and improved Iphone), how about we work on making human beings better. Not better in terms of health, but better in terms of, hey, let's actually treat one another with respect and humility and do right by one another and try to be less fucking greedy. Until we learn to do all those things, mankind is not really advancing at all.

Gene Roddenbery's vision for mankind is very very science fiction indeed.

His vision was definitely way too early - I don't think humans will be rid of the warring and capitalist instinct in 400 years. *Maybe* 4,000 if they manage to hang on that long as a species.
