Are We Heading for a Pacifist Utopia?

By
In a conversation with the owner of this site today, I mentioned that the way Wal-Mart and our Government is acting, in unison I might add, reminded me of the 1993 movie Demolition Man. In that movie, the only restaurant left was Taco Bell.  Are we seeing this coming with Wal-Mart?

In the movie, the date is 2032, Taco Bell won the “Franchise Wars” and the US underwent an upheaval before it was stabilized into a pacifist utopia, where the government deemed anything that is “bad” for you illegal, like alcohol, caffeine, spicy and junk food, salt.  Firearms are only viewable in museums, and cussing or speaking ill about anyone, especially the government is also illegal.  People who resisted where driven to a life underground, literally, only coming above ground to find food.

Extreme? Maybe. But take a look at the way our Government is heading….and watch Wal Mart, who has always fought against giving their employees healthcare jump on board the Healthcare bill. Look at Wal-Mart, “going green” by forcing all suppliers to spell out the “green-ness” of their items. And listen to them say, if its not green, it may cost the consumers more. Makes you think.  Are we heading for the “Brave New World” (which by the way the film is loosely based on.)

I highly recommend everyone to go and rent, buy, borrow the movie and watch it.  If you have seen it before, watch it again.  It just maybe we are heading for “San Angeles” way of life.

Later………Renagade
