“With the next real crisis, our so-called rights will vanish.”
Oof, that’s chillingly topical. Marginalized group fights tooth and nail for basic recognition and respect of law, before long the public is debating if they really should, though.
What, because the non-humans didn’t really want equal rights, they wanted domination? The “right” to do whatever they want to the humans unchecked? HT and the zombies want the “right” to eat people without them being allowed to defend themselves, and these guys want the “right” to kidnap people and do experiments on them. If those are “rights”, it’s just as well that they don’t get them.
Oh, so horribly true. Whatever will those silly social conservatives do if they ever run out of minorities to persecute and rail against giving equal rights to? Oh, wait–they’ll become the very kind of minority they rail against and demand the “right” to persecute… and very likely become the last minority group that it’s actually legal and acceptable to persecute, because they’ll have it coming!
Kitirena: I don’t think we’ll ever get there. Maybe we’ll reach a situation where it’s only acceptable to persecute social conservatives and anyone who wants to eat people, though.
Or maybe the social conservatives will be the only ones who go uneaten because they’re the only ones who engage with life with something other then the spirit of self-pity and do better with themselves then just stand around and be eaten in the way that Helen’s gerbils did. That might be fun too. ^_^
I seem to recall so as well. Helen’s forays into the physical sciences seemed to involved having pre-Mad Dave do the actual work and then taking credit for having “designed it”. Which, if Dave’s assertions in one cartoon were correct, is a lot closer to the way her Mom operated then she would probably have liked to admitted even to herself @_@
HT’s plan was always to increase mistrust of human institutions among NHS’s in order to sow dissent and eventually cause the overthrow of the human government in the US. I doubt this was part of his plan though, since his work ever since Prop 39 seems to be more focused on undermining the human government until it’s ready for him to foment unrest.
Or worse, spill coffee on it!
“Please try not to explode on anyone’s lawn.”
The outfits *are* kinda neat in a ‘dorky and I just don’t care’ sorta way.
Maybe if there weren’t an ever-expanding redefinition of “rights”…
Very true. It’s not like these chumps think much of the right of humans to go unkidnapped and not be strapped to their stupid grooveatron. 😛

Cynical, jaded, and in all likelihood accurate. This illustrates more than anything else why the Old War was fought, and why the New War is beginning.

Train of thought hit a wall halfway through?
This is quickly coming true and I really wish it wasn’t.
I *love* the string game!
I, too, love the strong game.
Damn.
Eh, it’s fine. The string game is a very strong game indeed. ^_~
Didn’t Helen Narbon like to play with superstrings too once in a while, or was she strictly into biological sciences?
Momma or baby Helen? I think it was Dave that wound up being the expert.

Unity’s inner cat girl is showing with her love of the string game.
…oh yeah and also the tiger ears.
