May. 7th, 2009 09:53 pmoh hay guys. Today is a day of creepy skincrawly feelings! For multiple sources! Bugs, people, and omg I think Positron from City of Heroes is outside my window watching me level. And I think it angers him.
Twittering is still fun. I've decided I'm a lion today. Roar.
Herr Doculus, my little sister (That is what Doc is short for!) has been looking at the lj's question of the day thingiemabob! It is "If you could live in any era of history, which one would you choose?" Quite innocent, really!
Then she looked at the replies.
Entry number the first.
It starts out with: One where it was safe to let your kids play outdoors, you could leave your house unlocked, your windows open, and your keys in the car.
That's not so bad! I do enjoy not worrying that if I leave my car unlocked, people will poop in it.
BUT THEN.
When it was considered normal to be a Christian, and science teachers were not afraid to express doubts about the Sacred Dogma of Darwinism for fear of losing their jobs.
Parents (the one male and one female variety) were still in control and were allowed to spank their kids or ground them without fear of being prosecuted or sent to jail.
Babies were usually born to mothers in their 20s. There was none of this putting it off until your biological clock had stopped and then demanding IVF treatment at tax payers expense.
And there was none of this lesbian women demanding IVF, also at tax payers expense, because they don't like sexual intercourse.
Well neither did I, but that's the way God designed us to reproduce. So lie back, close your eyes, and think about England, like I had to do.
And you know, other stuff. It ends with a big:
SO VIVA THE 1950s!
Oh that idyllic paradise of times past.
Next up is short but simple: 18th and 19th century Europe, 1920s, 1950s United States, Nazi Germany... I would love to be Khomeini for a day.
Last is the most horrifying of all, Doc's comments where I talk about wanting to make out with Queen Victoria.
This is a totally valid use of time travel, okay? Okay.
EDIT: Speaking of time travel! This post is chockful of it. The comments are gold.
