Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

Wars: Part 2

Jan. 22, 2009

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Let me be clear: America is committed to Israel’s security. And we will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against legitimate threats.

For years, Hamas has launched thousands of rockets at innocent Israeli citizens. No democracy can tolerate such danger to its people, nor should the international community, and neither should the Palestinian people themselves, whose interests are only set back by acts of terror.


Unfortunately BananaHead forgot to mention that Israel has 500,000 citizens living in illegal settlements and Palestinians also have the right to defend themselves from legitimate threats.
A video on this matter with Amy Goodman talking with Noam Chomsky.....Here




There will always be those that defend Israel for their use of force against Gaza and the West Bank claiming it's in retaliation to the suicide bombers..........without realizing the suicide bombers are in retaliation of the land confiscation and military occupation by Israel.

I will close this segment of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with a video by Alison Weir from If Americans New
It is 28 min long and shows how one sided our media is towards this conflict.
