After a downtime of near 8 months, the great preterhuman.net is back online and ready to rock. The server has been recently moved to the Rackster datacenter in Kelowna, BC. Available bandwidth is a very decent 10mbit, perfect for all those asshole bots leeching the shit so fast that my access.log looks like one big blurred white block as it scrolls up the screen.
So it seems that our good buddy Mike Huckabee has a sociopath for a son. Once upon a time, David Huckabee found a stray dog and cut its throat while hanging it. What did the responsible Mike Huckabee do about it? He continued sucking dick and tried to cover up the whole thing by pressuring the police to ignore the case. The officer who refused to be controlled by Huckabee ended up getting fired. According to Mike, this was simply coincidental… Despite the fact that Mike told the officer it was because of his refusal to assist with his son’s case.
FURTHERMORE, David Huckabee is such a stupid fuckup he “forgot” about a Glock handgun he was carrying while at the Little Rock airport. I’d post up his mug shot too but he looks like too big of a douchebag.
Society seems to flaunt an alarming negative sentiment toward authority figures and institutions, primarily in the area of law enforcement. You could call it human nature, but I see it more as a social problem potentially caused by such influences as the media. The younger generation is brought up with the belief that resisting authority is the norm and socially acceptable, often even encouraged.
I acknowledge that history has shown us the possibilities of authority brutality with select incidents including Kent State University (Ohio, 1970) and Rodney King (though I personally disagree with the convictions), but at the same time we see incidents showing clear provocation of authority from civilians as seen in May Day riots of the late 80′s and early 90′s in Germany. Police must always fight force with force, especially in cases where they find themselves outnumbered by civilians. A brutal display of force will often discourage others from attempting to fight. One of the real problems faced by law enforcement is the question of justification for the use of both lethal and non-lethal force. With the “evolved” American social practice of initiating lawsuits on a whim, persons of authority must continuously be cautious.
There has always existed a tier system separating social classes. Though the true appearance of the tiered society of the past is now veiled with the progression of the race, it is still present in many aspects of modern life. As a significant portion of an industrial nation’s population is part of the workforce, the separation exists in the form of management. In a large corporation with several levels of management, those at the top hold exorbitant power over the lower tiers. Though this style of authority does differ from that of a law enforcement officer, it is derived from the same naturalistic need to create a tiered society. This is not to be understood as a criticism, but moreso an illustration of the importance of a class system and its required implementation to maintain order.
There has been extremely drastic changes to society’s acceptance of certain common tiered systems over the past 50 years. There seems to be an increasing need to stretch the borders of free speech and to empower civilians with certain control over traditional authority figures. The younger generation no longer fears authority, and attempts to disrupt the functionality of tiered systems by failing to recognize them. These types of behavioral flaws has led to riots, violent demonstrations, illegal acts and various incarnations of barbaric anarchy. It is this younger generation which does not respect the authority of law enforcement and attempts to provoke it, all the while hiding behind the blanket of protection offered by said authority. This leads me to believe that widespread hypocrisy and ignorance have caused modern youth to attempt to jump on the bandwagon of past eras.
The anonymity provided by the Internet is allowing this disregard of authority to prevail. The Internet has been viewed as a lawless entity until recently, as for the most part it was not widely understood by traditional authority and as such was not policed at the same extent found in the real world. Despite these changes, the creation of new Internet technologies is allowing for new methods of spreading the hypocrisy of authority rebellion. Individuals who do not possess the real physical and mental abilities to rise against authority are able to do so online, and coax large numbers of the younger generation into following suit.
The question of authority remains, as a tiered system of society is a modern requirement and cannot possibly be abolished. The answer lies more in education of the populous and re-establishing the borders of authority. Major concerns include the level of authority in the top echelon of established organizations and the possible abuse of such authority, but governed correctly this control of power must exist and must do so effectively to maintain the tiers. Anarchy is never a viable solution, and those who proclaim its appeal are generally most guilty of the hypocrisy and ignorance found in modern society.
It is with great sorrow that I write this entry, as this week hosted the very last episode of Gilmore Girls. The last episode which aired Tuesday of this week saw a few major events and/or hints of events which would be a great start to a season 8. Unfortunately we will never see this, and are left to wonder. Gilmore Girls had become one of the more highly rated shows on television, but despite this has ended its seven year run. As with many shows, people tended to either love it or hate it. Some people watched an episode in 2000 and went “Rory is cute, but could I go to jail for these thoughts?” while others thought “Lorelai is a major MILF.” Whichever end of the spectrum you were on, you ultimately decided to continue watching to see where it would take you. Seven years, and now we are enlightened. Many have undoubtedly taken a moment of silence for this loss to society, while others create tributes to the show which has carried them the latter part of a decade. Some will make blog posts. We lament the loss of a show which touched our souls, and pray to find some new way to fill the void in our hearts. Gilmore Girls, you will always be with us.
Rumor has it that Alexis Bledel was the reason behind this…. That bitch.
This easter weekend was a bit messed up. I went to my parents’ house for dinner and my mom got drunk and kicked me in the face. That was pretty much a WTF in my books. I also watched a TV show about global warming and how the world is pretty much screwed in 100 years. Though I was in some distress over hearing about the sad fate of our planet, I ended up driving home in my 1970′s pickup truck anyway (which is running a bit rich I might add). I’m completely unwilling to change my lifestyle, but I expect the rest of you to do so. I don’t really see anything wrong with that either. Naturally there are some ways we could become more efficient such as sacking those oil and coal power plants and running nuclear or hydro. As long as you don’t have any serious retards (read: equal opportunity employees) working at these plants, nuclear power could be one of the best solutions.
And now…. click the link below to see a funny animal image.
