    And I have nothing against the Navy Seals...nothing at all...

    But it seems now they make an appearence in every other action movie as saviors...cool...

    But I'm just saying, what about the Army Rangers? or Delta Force?

    Or maybe 'Delta force' is too 80's, with all those Chuck Norris sequals....

    'Hi, I'm Optimus Prime...I'm a trader to my own kind...I like killing others of my android race, in favor of humans...who don't even like me...'

    'It doesn't matter that my own world is dying, and that my kindred need me, I have mysteriously fallen in love with humans...not sure what I get out of it, I mean it's not like I can copulate with them...anyways I've brainwashed my other Auto bot followers to join me in our rebellion against our own interest...'

    'I'm Optimus Prime...and I like kssing up to humans...even though they do evil things themselves...but I over look the evils they perpitrate on one another cause I'm a sell out'...

    'I'm Optimus Prime...and if I'm ever on your team, I'll sell out to your competitors too...'...duh...

    Now this is the ghostchildd...

    Optimus Prime, your no hero to me...your mad...you have no problem klling your own, you'd rather see your planet die, your kind die...to save an alien race?
    You got issues Prime...and I'd never trust someone like you...your wrong.

    Every now and then I make that trip at night...and I always feel different about depending on my mood...

    But for some reason, tonight, the air felt 'thick'...
    Peddling up there in my shorts and sweat shirt...the air just felt 'thick' and uncertain...

    As if something could occur...something bad...as if I could sense it...but I went anyways...careing, but not really careing at the same time...

    [​IMG]

    I peddled on anyways...against better instincts or feelings...
    The same way I do here at times...

    I figured if it was my time then it was my time...
    Sometimes you just get that creeped out feeling though...expecially around here where I live...

    At night, people lurk around in the shadows wearing all black and a hood...and a lot of street lights are out...so you might not see someone until your right up on them or they're right up on you...

    Must cut this short...

    I got distracted with something else...

    And I'll leave you with this thought for the night...

    Is there a connection with 'Optimus Prime', and other modern day super heroes who just seem to be so in love with humanity...including Data on Star Trek...Super Man ect ect...

    Is there a connection between how the writers of these scripts express love for humanity through super heroes, and the New Testiment writers expressing love for humanity through...well you know...

    Man just seems to be in love with himself, and modern writers always seem to project that 'love' through external beings or super heroes....

    And I'll just leave it at that for now...

    I kind of found this blog interesting...about 'women sufferage'...first time I've heard of the term...

    It's a 'pro-feminist' blog...

    But what's of more interest to me is the posters they have, of I guess back in the 30's or 20's, when women were fighting for the right to vote...

    I read the posters...and look at todays climate...and it's kind of eery...

    Did any of what was on those posters back then come true?

    Open question...you decide?

    Hello...

    Boy, it's a very competitive world out there...
    It's all about who you know...and who you can 'whoa'....

    It totally is...

    Like I told someone earlier today...almost everything under the sun is subject to 'certification' now...

    And it's while getting these certifications, that you get in on the 'inside'...

    You meet people, you meet people the instructor knows, friendships are formed...it's like your building your resume in front of people who have 'connections'....

    it is the first step towards 'seperation' of the classes....

    I was even practically told such today...

    "These classes are designed to be challenging and hard"

    Every ruling class needs a peasentry to serve them and to be content...

    And from the minute you walk in, and start the process, you can see the seperation beggining...the process of elimination...

    It's quite fascinating, expecially for someone with an over analitical mind as mine..(do not go there with the an-l jokes)

    You see how people are conditioned from early on, to see themselves as 'better than you'...the working class...

    And you also see that the system is set up so that unless you pay your does to the government...(certification), you will be locked out of the system...

    It's all amazing....certification = homage (just go back and read my money is god post)

    Jobs that have been taught and learned from hands on experience for millenia...now require 'certification'....

    And who benifits from that?
    Schools, of course...and schools are really nothing more than business...
    Schools are ran to make a profit...just like a grocery store...

    But unless you pay your homage to the state, the system...you will be left out, shut out....

    Anyways...back in a bit...
