This thread is as good as any other to post my experience last night with co-workers from around the world. Having a few beers after work, someone from France brought up how in CA he and brother were accosted by cops. His brother was smacked by the cop because he did not speak English and they thought he was messing with them. That got me going. By the time I took a breath, we had gotten into 911 and the wars we became entangled in. The group was sleeping in zombie land. One antagonistic guy who gets drunk at the drop of a hat began to ridiicule me. The others listened and heard reasoned arguments that got them to thinking.

Unfortunately, I think the sparks of awakening were flooded by liquid sarcasm from Mr DumbDrunk. The ignorance of the TeeVee feeders only reinforces their assurance of how right they are. And yet... they get puzzled looks when they look at the facts, as if something is not computing.

Anaesthesize the limb and the patient or torture victim will giggle as his limbs are being amputated. I got to play last night in the matrix of idiocracy, zombieland, Monty Python and Hannibal Lecter- watching the giggling fools.
