Title: Are we living in the "Planet of the Apes?" Source: email URL Source: http://none Published: Apr 9, 2011 Author: Anonymous Post Date: 2011-04-09 21:11:33 by Goldi-Lox Views: 214 Comments: 20 I don't know about the rest of you, but I went to ALL those "Apes" movies when they came out in the late 60s early 70s. We all thought they were a hoot! Who would ever imagine that these APES could ever be smart enough to run the US, or the world?? Hilarious. Then we remembered... "affirmative action". And people who were UNQUALIFIED for high paying positions and positions of authority and importance...were somehow put into those positions. And no one spoke out...even though there were some quiet grumbles, and a lot of concern. Then, we got the Black Caucus in the Govt. Where is the Asian caucus? The Native American caucus? Or the White Caucus?? That changed the balance of power in the chambers of Govt. And still...no one spoke up. Reminds me of the "mute" whites in those movies. Has equality today been re-defined so that some people are given 2 scoops of equality and the rest only get a half scoop? Recent events, and the state of our nation are concerning. A look to the past to see where the beginnings of these trends occurred is enlightening. I found it highly coincidental that the 1964 Civil Rights Act barely preceded the making of this series of movies. Did someone want to tell us what to expect in the future...without making any remarks or comments that could be construed as "prejudical"? If in fact, had the movie been made using blacks instead of apes, it may never have been shown. Did someone predict the future? Or warn us of the future? Or did they just project their biases in such a way that this was a worse case scenario? Why then today, as I watch events on the news, do I feel as if I am watching a replay of the Planet of the Apes? What about you?

Goldi's handling of LP has been a great disappointment.
What is really disappointing is the actions of some 'posters'.
Yukon- I really do not like dishonesty. Goldi should have addressed the death announcement thread. She should not have tossed liberator out the way she did. I don't think it is funny at all that she did not address the real concerns on that thread- or that she just willy nilly is tossing people out- who had feelings about what had happened. for her to be shucking and jiving on a fundraising thread-, tossing people out, and refusing to address that death thread is the most bizarre thing I have seen online. If she is not going to be trustworthy, honest or serious- WHY should she expect her posters to be any of those things? If her posters are acting poorly, she only has herself to blame. THAT is the leadership she is showing them.
Wow...talk about...
