Yeah, kids!... It's finally here! Not my batman cookie jar...(that came in last night). The final prompt for BNW, which is to analyze the book and find three or more similarities between it and the modern world we live in. I suppose I can deal with that... Let's take a look...
1 - Soma was a major part of the survival of those in BNW. Although they could have lived without it, they were able to be happier, at least in the state of mind. It was magnificent because these holidays did not cause any side effects, except it severely shortened the abusers life span. I wonder how long these people really would live if they never took soma... hmm... Anyways, Americans today also have many things that help distract them of the world around them, like any kind of illegal, legal, prescription, or over-the-counter drugs and alcoholic beverages. These all help to relieve the user of pain or depression, and can help them to go on a beloved holiday. Of course, these do have side effects and decrease your life span. Check one...
2 - Sex is a major part of the BNW society, because they must be happy and "everyone belongs to everyone else." It also seems to play a major part of our society as well. For instance, magazines and paparazzi are always giving the latest celebrity sex scandals. Also, today's society has seen an increase of divorces and decrease in marriages. People just want to indulge themselves in the bed and move to a much more comfortable delight. It's sad, but ultimately true. Marriage within our Christian-influenced society isn't as big a deal as it used to and people seem to be moving more towards an "everyone belongs to everyone" status. Sadly, Check two...
3 - Speaking of a Christian-influenced society, we do not see much of a Christian society, anymore. Where'd everyone go and what are they doing on Sundays? There has been a severe decrease of in people attending church. Society seems to be turning away from God and more towards science (like in BNW) or no one and nothing, for that matter. Major celebrities speak out that they do not believe in God and have turned their cheek. Damn; Check three... Success!
What the hell is wrong with our society? We seem to be looking a little bit more like BNW's as each second passes. I do not believe there is anything wrong with our society, but I do know that change is happening. We as a people adapt to change, and this change is turning heads towards technological advancements. Sadly, there may not be a Mother Earth for our generations down the road. We have to get a grip with ourselves and create the best damn society... ahh I'm just rambling now...
Happy Earth Day!... Treat it like or better than your mother!... Peace

I enjoyed your shout-out to Earth day! Nice!

Where will these future generations live then, sir? the red planet? ooo

I was a little nauseated by your green ranting, but I am thrilled at your acquisition of a fictitious batman cookie jar.
Nick, go throw up in your toxic, coal fired power plant polluted, smelly, rotting river. Tell me how it is because I enjoy our Earth and would like to keep it like that. That means, don't drill for oil in Alaska either! Tayler-I agree what is wrong with our society? We cannot call ourself a Christian nation if we are constantly picking fights.
haha nice post... thats pretty much all i have to say. haha
Batman cookie jar, happy earth day, your blog has everything!
I like to read your posts as if you were saying it all in really slow motion. However, I have to say I stopped reading at the "What the fuck..." part. Sorry. But good job!!
Okie dokie, I was cool with the post until the "What the fuck..." but then I liked the part about Earth Day. P.S. Kev, way to stand up for the enviroment!
I really want to see this cookie jar now, and great post as always.
I agree with the part where you compared soma to drugs today, but without the side-effects. That's one point I brought up in my blog as well.
Sorry, Tayler, F Bombs are not formal register. Save them for after graduation, please. Good ideas (i.e. rant).
