					<description><![CDATA[Hey &lt;i&gt;Nitsu&lt;/i&gt;, you really have to get your head out of the MSM propganda machine. It is roting your brain.

You have not tie faintest idea how you are being manipulated.

Almost all the references you give, and al the sitations are pure bunk.

Good grief, citing Business Week! You ight as well cite Pravda.

You see that is your problem. You have never really done anything, You just believe what your liberal bubble tells you.
You are iving in a fantasy world.

You should try living and working in the EU. try advancing and raising a family.

You have not the faintest idea what you are talking about.

You self importance and your condescension are comic.

Wait until you hit middle age and figure out where your ife is really headed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[betsybounds, each of the &#039;races&#039; in star trek are characachured human cultures...  and in case you didnt notice, the people on the ship, lives idyllic lives a la marx and engels utopian ideas.  the klingons were the vikings, others seem to be more mishmoshes, so i wont bother to list what i think they are, or else there will be a big discussion. even vikings for klingons will be argued, and thats not the point... (the point is that the argument would never be that they are like the teletubbies, so if they are arguing, its over detail not substance of my point). 

the TNG was later in our history too, and so different things were reinvented and ideas expanded. this is why you had more nuance in the old series, and less associated nuance in the later. 

Borg is collectivisms end state... if you combine technology with the ideal and figure that the state would us A to impose B.. then once imposed how could any break the cycle and leave. 

its actually a more thoughtful view of it than huxleys brave new world or orwells foot on a face forever.  the reason being is that they had to make the characters live for a few seasons and so unlike orwell or huxley they had to explore the ideas. 
(but by this time, the communism of the enterprise had been normalized so in a way it was them fighting themselves in the future). 

they also had a clearer idea of a future that at the time of the others was quite unimaginable... and this built on really far reaching and complicated imaginations in film spanning 60 years.. 

each of the things in that series were experiments and where different branches go.. borg is where you may go if you use technology to create the hive, but you have to pillage others (like communists do today) to gain new inventions and ideas and have progress. there is also perfect equality as borg fulfill feminisms dreams of equal work and equal pay, not having to have a family, and so forth...  so thats what gives it a different take than say the romulans which even in symbols were like soviets.. paranoid, manipulating as a rule, pragmatic, etc.. but emotional with passions and no ideals of feminism.  anyway, thats solved by the borg by long long lifetimes, and like the shakers, bringing in new people by adopting. 

borg were so scary because borg represented the list of left liberal ideals taken to their end result. 

they are different than others because other mixes dont include certain things or those are not taken so extreemly, or solved a different way. 

while the first show seemed to sell socialism.. it never was silly pap enough to show that doing so made the universe love you, and showed its impractibility since it was the model of employees of the state, not people of the state..

farengi were to be what would capitalism be left unbridled or taken to extreme. but they act more like marx caracatures than actual capitalists.. (otherwise they would be like us)

it was an incredbile vehicle for exploring social issues and things, but since it was all in archtypes, and wrapped up, not many got it. they could only see it on one level... not many..  which is why most couldnt understand why it lasted so long and made money... it resonated (like what i wrote about rocky horror). 

so the borg are a genderless equal socialist society where the common are all equal and all serve with no personal needs, wants or desires. and the elite of the groups are allowed to have gender, autonomy, a higher wealth, and personal wants goals and needs. 

sound scarier yet?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;First of all, the US has twice the rate of premature births of other countries, which has a lot to do with infant mortality – though we do a better job with premature births we still have far more of them (probably due to lack of prenatal care for poor women). &lt;/i&gt;

No. Good God, you&#039;re an idiot. No wonder you&#039;re a liberal. It&#039;s because of fertility treatments for well-to-do fish who waited until they were 40 before deciding they needed bicycles after all. We can the feminists - also liberals - for effectively generating this problem.]]></description>

First of all, the US has twice the rate of premature births of other countries, which has a lot to do with infant mortality --- though we do a better job with premature births we still have far more of them (probably due to lack of prenatal care for poor women). Secondly, I don&#039;t know where you get the idea that premature babies are not counted among infant mortality statistics in other countries -- they are. But they also have many fewer of them due to better prenatal care. Finally, even if you exclude premature births, our infant mortality rate is still twice that of Sweden, and much higher than most European countries.

					<description><![CDATA[Perhaps off topic, perhaps relevant, indeed.

While the Bush administration tried to apply the mind-numbing Blitzkreig of “Shock &#038; Awe” against Iraq, the organization that is really most successfully applying “Shock and Awe”--and against the United States--is the the Obama administration, which is trying to quickly and simultaneously ram through every pernicious far Left initiative they can think of, hoping that enough will pass or be enshrined in legislation, policy and regulation that their goal of &quot;fundamentally&quot; and permanently changing America will have been achieved before the baleful effects of their policies are manifest, and they are thrown out of office;  they just want to do as much damage to freedom and democracy, to traditional America, and to the capitalist system as they can, as quickly as they can, they are a commando raid hoping to  become a permanent occupying force.

Case in point–with a myriad of illustrative and sickening examples–the reading list for K-12 students being promoted by the organization, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), founded by Obama’s ardently homosexual “Safe Schools Czar,” Kevin Jennings (I’m sure the guys and girls at Obama &#038; Co. laugh like hell every time they repeat his title)–CONTENT WARNING, but see (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/).  

Do you  want your kids, hell, do you want any adults forced to be exposed to this kind of thing? Do you think that Jennings isn’t using all the influence he can bring to bear to push for the inclusion of some of these GLSEN “recommended books” in the curriculums and reading lists of elementary and secondary schools nationwide?]]></description>
