Is it even worth winning?

Posted on | October 30, 2008 |

I cut and pasted this from an article online:

WASHINGTON â€” A University of Texas poll to be released today shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn leading by comfortable margins in Texas, as expected. But the statewide survey of 550 registered voters has one very surprising finding: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Muslim.

I cut and pasted this from my brain:

For the love of Pete’s Dragon ™ what is wrong with these people? (And yes, I intend to keep using the Pete’s Dragon thing until it becomes part of the lexicon. Comedy by repetition. It works.) If that many people are that stupid and/or racist to think that Barack Obama is a muslim, maybe this country isn’t even worth saving. No, not kidding.

Maybe we just need a blank slate to start over with. Tabula Rasa and such. If only we could get all the smart people to a whole new planet or something. Or maybe take all the dumb ones, and we’ll stay here. Either way, the time is fast approaching when we are simply going to have to be separated. Actually, this touches on something I’ve wanted to write about for a while but haven’t gotten around to. And of course, I’m on my way out the door so I won’t get far with it now, but I might as well start: What the hell are we doing? And I’m not talking about the “Royal We” like the Dude would use. I’m talking about us. All of us.

Yelling at each other over absurd religious differences, gay marriage, abortion, taxes, idiot plumbers, etc. Why aren’t we trying to build a damn city on the moon? And then trying to build a city on Mars? And so on and so forth? Humans love to inhabit every inch of space they can, so why not go big? What else is the point of being here? Let’s start some of these projects, so that in 50 or 100 years, we’ve got millions of people living on the moon or Mars? Why not?

Imagine how much progress we could make if we weren’t always worried about needing huge militaries and such? If we controlled our fucking population so everyone had plenty of food and resources, and then we put all our energies into expanding our domain? Why fight over the India/Pakistani border, when we could be building cities on other planets ferchrissakes?

We. R. Dum.

Yes, you too.
