New year and same protesters

First of all, a happy and hearty happy new year to everyone in the system! Secondly, we are off to the horrible start in just a few short days. So, here I was minding my own business and low and behold I ran into a large group of protesters from the Middle United States, coming into our country mind you in DC, and protesting the sentient accords as being unconstitutional for the US to accept.

There are so many things wrong with this stance I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, there is no U.S. anymore, not as a single entity, and as such no single constitution. There is, of course, a U.S. as five separate countries, all sharing the same military but different presidents. Not to get into too much of a history lesson but way back in 2065 the USA ceased being a single country and became five. Well, honestly it became more like the european union than one single country. The ideological differences between the five regions were so great that there wasn’t much to do but stop being friends. Now, two of the five agreed with each other but were on opposite sides of the coast so, in effect, became different entities. The tricky part comes in where the military is concerned. Even though no one could really agree to what to do with the genetic and computer revolution that came out of the Singularity Event, they could agree that no matter what, everyone else in the world still wanted to go to war.

And that brings us to the protesters. What are they protesting? Genetic manipulation resulting in unholy biological creations. The ability to manipulate the human genome was just unacceptable to a large portion of american society, both then and now. And just like then, there are millions of protesters decending on DC to complain about it. And I had to walk through it to work.

Don’t get me wrong, I support protesters and free speech and all that stuff. But really, it’s been nearly 300 years, isn’t this a dead subject? There are new races now for god’s sake, yes they used to be humans but every scientific body says they are a unique and seperate species from humans. What are you protesting? That you feel that all these people are some how evil and should be cleansed in a salem witch trial type setting is appalling. Yes, you are still a member of the US Union but really, can you ever let this subject drop?

I suppose you can’t and won’t. And it’s your right to not, honestly. The only scary thing is if you are right, there is a God, and he is pissed off at what the last 300 years have brought. But then again, he can’t flood the solar system, now can he?
