OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. I know I'm just going to get hurt again. But I can't help it.

I almost think Star Wars Episode 3 could be cool.

I watched the first volume of Clone Wars cartoons they did on cartoon Network. They didn't suck. They rocked, hardcore. They were fucking amazing. There was more emotion in the ten second scene between Anakin and Amidala than all of Episode 2. The Jedi ran around being badass Jedi. They didn't suck, like they did in Episode 2. The Clone Troopers and droids seemed cool. The Sith seemed menacing, and Count Dooku was still cool, and still inflicted with a horrible name. And the space battles, and the battle scenes, and OMG, it was awesome. Why couldn't Episode 2 have been like that?

But like I said to James, "The most ominous part of that trailer for Episode 3 were 'written and directed by George Lucas.'"

We also watched A Series of Unfortunate Events, which wasn't really bad, but as much as I usually like Jim Carrey, he didn't really pull off Count Orloff for me. He seemed too goofy, not really menacing enough most of the time.

A Quote

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

- President Dwight D. Eisenhower,11/8/54

A misconception

I think one of the reason polluters can get away with some of the things they do, especially in government, is simple. People can't see it. And in this case, much of the environmental movement helps them, by phrasing things wrong. Such as "Save the Planet". We don't need to save the planet. Earth is big. It'll still be here, barring quantum mishaps.

What needs to be saved is an environment that's hospitable and friendly to human beings to live in. Not the planet, but us. It's a lot closer to home, and people will act more to save their own hides. And by making the effects of pollution immediate and clear on a personal level, you'd probably convince more people.

Fuck, I'm gonna turn into a propagandist, aren't I? Ah well.
