In the News:
I'm pissed. Did Russia really have to invade Georgia during the Olympics? Olympic spirit is supposed to be friendly competition between national representatives, fair and ... well, now that I think about it, maybe fast/furious, too, in addition to controlled precision. It's a healthy form of combat, is all I was thinking. It's a format for the exhibition of possible perfection.
But, yeah, now that I think about it, I can see how a military invasion would be analog to interstate athletic rivalry. Everybody becoming all fervently nationalistic and such. I think the best athletes, no matter what country, should duke it out as individuals who can choose to represent whatever group, if anything, they choose. That's my ideal. The state system seems kind of passe and yesterday, even obsolete, in our present world.
Anyway, in other news, robots are expected to reach human capability by 2029. Wow, huh? Robot for President!
