]]> Comment on A Sad Day for this Trekkie by Amy C http://www.nov30.org/2009/05/17/a-sad-day-for-this-trekkie/comment-page-1/#comment-153 Amy C Sun, 24 May 2009 19:25:43 +0000 http://www.nov30.org/?p=177#comment-153 Yeah, that! The "insta birth" in the opening scene had me wondering along these lines from the very beginning. I was thinking "Oh, god no! Please show me that we will have figured out a better way to help women give birth!" Even if it is in the midst of a battle and evacuation, the trappings and procedures that surrounded it are all too similar to the current medical model... Then cut to the next scene and we get to see what the police of the future look like as one of them chases the juvenile delinquent Jim Kirk...YIKES! Is that a human being in that scary robocop outfit? I felt challenged, I guess, but not in the way I ever was by the tv shows. Yeah, that!

Dahr Jamail is a reputable source, and GI resistance is real. This equipment exists, and soldiers are smart. That's probably why one of the reports specifically mentions that soldiers would phone in reports saying that they were performing weapons sweeps to satisfy their superiors. GI resistance has a lengthy history. You'll have to do better than tossing out some military acronyms to refute the story. Good luck and thanks for commenting on my blog!

It was quite a shock, but very interesting. I was disappointed he didn't answer the question about what we can do to help restore civil liberties--maybe he doesn't know? I have already contacted him with follow-up questions. I hope I will get some answers! I got that call too!! It was quite a shock, but very interesting.
