We are the Borg,
You are about to be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
Sound familiar?


Ok, so I spend too much time subconsciously
listening to my spouse watching Star Trek in
the other room while I work at the computer
within earshot.
I paid attention to particular Star Trek
Voyageur episode about a Borg drone and her
battle to live independantly without living in
collective thought.
It made me think about society and the lack of
uniqueness in most people.
Are you like a Borg Drone? Assimilated into
society to not think like an individual or
possess your own morals or ideas?
Is today's society so caught up in a live and
let live attitude that morals have just
disintegrated into grains of sand that are
sought after by a select few who are now
considered radical or ultra right wing?
People are living up to their eyeballs in debt.
People are divorcing out of boredom.
People toss their kids aside as those kids play
second fiddle to their parents own hedonistic
lifestyle.
This isn't an entirely broad statement, merely
a question because what I see looking out at
the panoramic view before me is quite a few
drones simply marching on with only a
collective thought in mind to please themselves
and live only for themselves in materialistic
lifestyles where logos are status symbols and
life has become a throwaway society where
everything and everyone is disposable.
Well, Soylent Green is made of people. It's
PEOPLE!
