The title of this thread eerily reminded me of the book and movie "The Time Machine" where the builder of the machine observes a seemingly idyllic world populated by gentle people. But he also notices that the citizens of the future, known as "Eloi" behave more like mindless sheep than human beings because he learns to his dismay that humankind has forgotten all that it has learned through the centuries, preferring instead to frolic endlessly under the sun. they must, however, listen to and obey their rulers, the ruthless "Morlocks". the Morlocks assure the Eloi that no harm will come to them if they follow one rule...... "EMBRACE THE TANK"
Now, I don't mind frolicking under the sun but when I sit down to watch my Celtics I want a happy ending with my C's blowing our opponent away by about 40, and the Morlocks can go embace whatever they dang please!!!
