A friend of mine had mentioned to me the other day that Hooters has an airline. It caused me to wonder about how such an airline might affect the likely hood of a terrorist attack and what sort of reaction this might have. Last night me and this same friend watched the 1986 version of "Stagecoach" and it immediately became clear how breast bombs could destroy the west. American politicians often pride themselves with self-righteous fervor about how we fellow Americans need to protect our precious liberties from those who "hate freedom." "Stagecoach" fits into this paradigm. A stagecoach who's driver and passengers refuse to allow their fears ofGeronimo and his Apache brethren deter their pursuit of happiness by plowing right through hostile territory illustrate just how far America's romantic idea of itself separates from reality. There were no cavity searches on this stage coach... In fact, most of the passengers were armed. Hell, they didn't even search the banker who they knew had a stolen bag of cash because property and privacy rights used to mean something and had a value higher than life. This movie shows an America that faces fears rather than cowering away from them. Bin Laden and his 40 Al Queda do something much worse than simply kill people, they ruin the liberties which have been paid for a thousand times over in blood because Americans believe in the fake safety politicians sell them on. Wake up America! There is no safe place. We build places like six flags to simulate the thrill of it all, but the real excitement of life exists in realizing that we live on a living hostile rock spinning around the sun to inevitable destruction. Eventually everyone will be spun the hell off. The meaning of life is the slow process in which the universe ultimately rejects humanity and the conflict humanity has to hang onto the railing and not get blown off. The time has come to stop being afraid and to yell "GERONIMO!" and jump right on that plane. Ironically, the day after me and my friend were discussing the Hooters senario, this fiasco in Britain happens. We were joking that a potential terrorist could fill a breast implant with an explosive jelly or maybe even a solution of silicone gel and thermite to ignite the fuel tanks. It put the mental picture in my head of a jihadist jumping out of his seat at the opportune moment yelling something like "ALAH AKBAR!!!!" and grabbing the nipple piercing of a stewardess and pulling them out like a pair of grenades. Yes... The breast bomb. Apparently, they are now not allowing liquids as carry ons on planes... to quote some random IRC person " Excuse me, officer, but I have it on good authority that the man who just boarded the plane is composed of almost 70% liquid!" What a stupid petty thing to do to increase the fake safety of airports. If you really believe someone can't come up with a way to blow up a plane despite all these obnoxious and invasive procedures in place, you might also be partial to solving health issues with leeches. What has America come to these days when all the cowboys are either gay or like George W. Bush, the leader of todays brighter yellow America? Doesn't America realize that the most hateful threat to freedom which exists is blatant cowardice? The people who feel this way deserve to let go of the railing and fly off into the great oblivion. Only those who hold tight and exercise their freedoms really show that they deserve them. Which do you think is a more likely occurrence... being hit in a terrorist attack, or being violated by your over zealous government because they're cowards? I feel about as threatened by terrorists as I am being struck by lightning. Authorities are everywhere and they don't so much as even need a reason to effectively destroy your life by whim. We empower these types of people because we are afraid of the boogey man. To quote a line in stage coach: "We're going to decide this by majority rule."..."What does that mean?" "It means if 2 out of 3 people decide to die, the third gets to die with them." Damn right! The bastard would deserve it. Unfortunately, the people in todays America aren't as brave as they used to be, so they will likely no longer be as free. |
