Digital Dark Ages?

So much goatse that you came;

Our troubles are all the same;
Get that FP and everyone'll know your name.

Have you seen what Bush and Ashcroft have been doing lately? They definitely have the ignorance, suppression and warfare down. I'm sure that you can find famine and strife around too. Does all that count as a 'digital dark age' I don't know, but I'd definatly say that we've entered a political dark age.
ya, ya, I know this is off topic, mod my ass down.
First post on the slashdot pyramid!
Don't trust a bull's horn, a doberman's tooth, a runaway horse or me.
Reminds me of the entry for Earth in the HHGTTG

I wonder what constitutes something worth recording for history in the first place. After all we seem to have very little interest in the last ten years never mind the last thousand - so we rely on an expert to summarise and precis our history in digestible chunks.
For example -
20'th Century
Faschism and communism briefly vie for power before religion regains power globaly.
Computers and fast food invented - curry, tacho's, stir-fry, sushi.
21'st Century
China returns to global power and mandarin becomes the official world language. Red Flag software invents Linux.
All depends on the historian realy...
Facts are history now plebs have politics for religion on social media.
I just wanted to say I love your sig. There are times I wish I could tattoo it on some people's foreheads...

about your sig:
The pledge of alliegance: One Nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for all (except in Inglewood, CA, where it's One Nation, under God, with Liberty for the Whites and Justice for the Whites.)
Dang, what a beautiful nation
By the way, if you were in Japan, on vacation, let's say, and you prayed? Under what (G/g)od's jurisdiction would you be?
The thing is: God is not nationalist. He doesn't care about nations. He doesn't care that the person praying is white or black, male or female, rich or poor, American, European, or Chinese.
To associate God the creator of the Universe with a particular nation is misleading at best about God's true nature. So I say, get it off the pledge. It doesn't belong there.
This may look like a troll, but it isn't. It's a provocative thought. You've heard of those haven't you?
