Busy busy today - as usual - but today is a little different...I was asked to judge a local Middle School Science Fair this afternoon...perhaps a few students will be there, so I might be allowed to impart some little nuggets of what's in store for their wonderful life in "Science".
"Hey kids!! Do you like Science? Do you think you're going to be a great scientist one day? Do you care about anything BESIDES coming up with new technologies to burn children alive in their beds? Do you have issues with the fact that the only realistic source of viable research funding today is from the Department of Defense? Do you have moral concerns about the entirety of our once-great country's collective Scientific Mind being used to pursue carnage, warfare, bloodshed and death? Might you have another career in mind - one divested from "new concepts" in depleted uranium rounds, or "bunker-busting" nuclear weaponry, or white phosphorus airbursts, or daisy cutter mass-murder devices? Do you choke up at the thought that your acumen and genius and talents and days and weeks and months and years and decades of hard work might only see the light of day if it is channeled towards never-ending illegitimate War against sovereign countries you won't even be taught how to find on a map, under the guise of such vague, tired, Jingoist notions as "Freedom" or "Democracy"?
WELL GET OUT NOW, KIDS, 'CUZ THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM IS A SHAM AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET AHEAD IS TO INVENT THE NEXT CHILDGRINDER 6000".
(oh...and f*ck your stupid little paper-maché volcano. That's original.)
