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.
for years.
I have had some fun posting there over the years, and never really paid much attention to anything other than my own conversations. When she mistreated liberator, a person who had defender her numerous times, I just didn't see any reason to stay. There is a lot of complexity to running these sites and managing personalities- and trying to remain impartial during flame wars- But just tossing people out, like she did to liberator is unethical in my book.
Like you, I had some fun there as well over the years. But the fact is Sally's bi polar moderating caused a ton of problems for herself and those registered there. I was angry at her gross misrepresentations related to me...at the time. I took it way too seriously, but then again I was one of her biggest financial backers for four or so years. Now? Sheesh, I'm glad I was long gone - banned - before it went right down Storm Front Lite's winding road.
Gee Boofer...you are just so misunderstood...in fact...so miusunderstood you remind me of...

When I saw the pictures of you parading around in your spandex outfit (gay much?) I thought you looked like an ugly mofo. That's OK, lots of ugly people in this old world. What ain't OK is that your ugly goes all the way to the bone, and all the way through your shriveled little black heart.
