There are many reasons that I despair for our future as a race. The rise of
evangelical Christian influence in American politics, the ascent of
ignorance in
general, global warming,
global cooling,
war, and
hatred. There are countless indications that we are not fit to continue inhabiting this planet, but one exemplifies how miserable our judgements can be.
William Shatner's longevity in the public eye.
That a man so incapable of
singing,
dancing,
speaking intelligibly,
writing, or
acting has an
extensive career,
won a Golden Globe, and maintains a
popular weblog simply bloggles the mind. Quite simply, the human race has clearly outstayed its welcome. I mean,
the man is a parody of himself, and he knows it. What does it say that we revere him?
It says that we're all morons, that's what.
