I just want to live in Star Trek-land.
Can I at least have that? Can we try and work to have that world instead? Holodecks, food replicators and computers you can *actually* talk to.
And a "Data-ette" each, fully functional of course.
If we diverted the trillions spent on war to the right places, these things could be achieved I am sure.
On a serious note....
"The UN says that, but I think the PTB mean the other thing."
Trust is a major issue..
The idealist in me says ......
Personally, I am willing to give up a little and to sacrifice a little more, if it means raising the standards and improving the lives of others while
preventing the environmental degradation we are witnessing today.
Im only here for a short while, and I wish for humanity and this earth to have a long and prosperous future.
Who knows, I might want to incarnate/visit here again....
The realist in me says.....
I do not trust what I hear from anyone in a position of ultimate authority or power, (you know - power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts
ultimately.....blah.. blah).
Apply the reverse of what they say to get the true meaning/intention of their words.
History is resplendent with these examples...
Im skeptical..cautiously hopeful..and a little confused...thats all I can be.
Now back to my own personal "holodeck" - my vivid imagination.
