another step toward a more sustainable self- that happens to also be part of a much larger unsustainable culture.
speaking of this culture, mine- sustained on massive weapons sales & brutal, hi-tech military action abroad- and domestically we've outsourced everything but exotic economic shell games, catering to the rich and entertainment-
so- speaking as a lover & connoisseur of conflicted self-cancelling sensational urges: i propose this reality television series:
Gangsta Rules Texas Shark Cage Death Match Over a Pit of Vipers Hidden by Mustard Gas.. MILITARY SHOWDOWN!!
superdicktacular right?
we could break it down to individual units- black ops death raids specialists for instance- we could pit them against 'some dudes' from blackwater in a control room with livefeed drones..
you see where i'm going here. get all the military branches & subunits involved as well as the contractors. there could be a big prize they're fighting for or not- really it doesn't matter too much. there will be interest & viewership & therefore good sponsorship- ensuring continued military funding, research & no-bid contractor royalties. super-kick-ass all around.
think of how peaceful the rest of the world might become.. shoot, we might even be able to get Israel or Iran on the show, maybe North Korea- aaww yeeeah. they could flex some muscle, be cheered on & paid all at the same time: in a 'controlled remote arena' of some sort- perhaps a space station to add to the potential risks. Virgin Mobile might sponsor that now- anyhow, still working out those bugs..
i'd much rather see that scenario play out than for those drones to become used by police forces domestically- yikes.
i'll leave you with a couple of viewpoints about our future as collections of much smaller and sharper-witted sustainable communities- which is probably more likely to come to bear than the Military Showdown Show:
