Honestly, are you sure you're not just saying that because Bush is the most recent? He's the freshest in our minds, and thus has the most immediate impact on us today, and thus its easy to lose perspective. When you're talking about every president ever, you've got a bunch of stinkers to pick through. Now, I'm a Conservative Republican, and Bush pisses me right the hell off, and I'm ashamed that I ever voted for him, but I'm still not ready to declare him "worst president evar".
Maybe it was only me, but I always thought the theory of using humans as batteries was something the humans came up with.. and that they were wrong about, but that it was the only thing they could come up with.
I think the Machines actually put the humans in the matrix as an act of mercy. Having defeated them in a war, they decided to imprison them in an artificial reality rather than commit genocide. The machines, oddly enough, were too moral to do that. Seems like something I saw in the Animatrix made me come to this theory, but I can't remember off hand.
5 now. I tried going back to AC not too long ago, having stopped playing 3 years ago.. it just isn't the same anymore, you know? Its like, I want to play the game that I played back then, not the one that it is now.
And now you've reminded me of the fun of patch days on the zone, sitting in the lobby which would just be zipping text by at a mile a minute, while some poor moderator would try to bring order to the chaos.. fun times. no really.
Neither do real conservatives, for what it's worth. Real conservatives favor a federal government that is as small and weak, as compared to state and local governments, as possible. But then, the Parties are hardly representative of the values they supposedly embody.
