"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Anyone read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury?  Guy Montag's wife (what was her name? Mildrid or Millie or something?) used to be addicted to soap opera's that was viewed on entire walls.  They had one room in the house that was basically 4 big TV's.  And she would interact w/ the soap's.   Anyway, this sounds a lot like where this will be going...

Man, I hated that woman.  Was kinda glad she got wiped out.

heh, yeah. it's a great book, btw. heard a lot of good about it before I read it, and I must say it's definitely is about as good as 1984 and brave new world.

hehe, well sure a shark would be even better/worse (depends how you look at it) :D
But it would definetly be worse if the shark began yelling about hairsprays.
