The end of the National Anthem!?

I hope we never see the day. I have seen internet rumors that our Anthem is too religious and should be either updated or replaced all together. Where have all the Patriots gone? I mean the first video here is about one such possible replacement. Don’t think it isn’t entirely possible when the country’s elite (HAH! yeah right) have just elected a black Marxist as the next President of the United States. Maybe we ought to just start paying royalties to R.E.M. and use “It’s the End of the World as We Know it” as our new anthem?

The Black National Anthem!?

 
Well let’s not lose all hope just yet. I think if we have more new generation patriots, like the Cactus Cuties, we may salvage some of the upcoming four years of damage when the next election rolls around and some of the younger Americans will be old enough to vote.

I remember the first two movies of the OST crew and I was impressed but bored with the Motion Picture. I remain a fanatic for the Wrath Of Khan.

I started to see the Alpha of the Omega, in the Genesis of the Search for Spock. I got lost somewhere during the Voyage Home. I had hoped that the Final Frontier really would be the final movie, I was wrong. I found portions of the Undiscovered Country to be new territory, but not completely acceptable. Everyone may have thought that the ship and crew had been retired, nope.

I remember the early reports and look-and-feel of the Next Generation series – I wasn’t happy. I remember that the technology of the show was good, with the exception of the quite cheezy “Warp Effects”. Sets and equipment was good. Character creation and story lines were OK, at first. Then DS9 came along and ruined everything. I saw a glimmer of hope with Cpt. Janeway and the Voyager crew, but that was short lived in my opinion. Continue reading »
