I first heard the term on Star Trek, the episode with Dr. Daystrom and the M5 computer, that blew up half of star fleet in a mock battle gone awry. The steady erosion of our freedom is the most disturbing thing to me, the evangelic need to be correct in all ways at the expense of, well, let's use seat belt laws as an example. Dude, I used to lay up on the back shelf behind the back seat under the window and watch the stars glide and swirl by at night. They put you in jail for that shit now. There are so many people in prison in this country. If it was fucking China or Russia we would be all pissed off as a government. "Let those motherfuckers go", but since it's here and it is status quo. Fuck it.
