Zeitgeist

i first heard about this documentary through a friend at work, and downloaded it months ago, only today did i find the time and the inclination to actually sit down and watch it.

initial reaction:

its very interesting

watch it if you can :)

download and read statement by the filmmaker here

although i don't agree with some of it, i do believe that the central message is one which we all need to learn regardless, and that is  - think for yourself. 

do your own research and don't take anything as a given.

Going off on a tangent

So I’m minding my own business on a Friday morning, surfing, as you do, reading about biodiversity and cures for childhood cancers, thinking “man, I love science, I wish I was a scientist” when I come across a headline: Human-animal embryos get the go-ahead.

This makes me do a double take worthy of a cartoon character, and I discover that yes that’s exactly what they are doing, you know ‘they’; they’re mixing cows and rabbits with humans.

Now, the whole cloning thang has been running around in my mind for a few days now, ever since I read about that mad scientist who cloned himself, I watched a movie called The Island (also about clones running around), and now this.

“…anti-abortion and religious groups launched a fervent campaign against the proposals, claiming that the research would undermine human dignity and blur the boundary between humans and other species.”

Blur?

I didn’t feel outraged, or feel horrible for the poor clones who might one day grow up to feel discriminated against, because you know they have tails and horns, no… I just thought, oh well.

Now the reason behind this apathy I think is because ‘they’ have been preparing us for life with mutants for centuries:

1 In association with the devil (aka Disney/Hollywood) we have been introduced since a tender age to delights such as Beauty & the Beast (or how romantic it is to fall in love with animals), The Elephant Man and Mutant Ninja Turtles.

2 ‘They’ overcame the whole ‘soulless freak’ issue by starting with Dolly the sheep, have you seen dolly? She’s cute man, and guess what? She must have a soul I mean otherwise, how come she’s breathing and stuff.

3 The ancient Egyptians already knew all about this cross-cloning shit, I mean just look at the sphinx, half man, half lion…nuf said.

4 What’s the worst that can happen ay? They have agreed to kill all the half human embryos when they are still no larger than a pinhead. So what if one day, an intern at the lab feels a special affinity for one of the pinheads, takes it home in a petri dish, feeds it and waters it and gives it life…nah, that could never happen.

Track Number 11

yes, i love track number 11

it's called Trunk

On an entirely different note..

i think he is..

nevertheless i love this post by that guy who speaks to his pigeon, Frank...

"So, if this show teach you anything, it should teach you how to respek everyone: animals, children, bitches, spazmos, mingers, lezzers, fatty boombahs, and even gaylords. So, to all you lot watching this, but mainly to the normal people, respek. West side."

impressed - I AM
