I slept in late this morning, and now the weekend’s half over. Lots I ought to do today, and then, blip, it’ll be Sunday night and I’ll have to got to freakin’ work. This living for the weekend shit is getting old. I want the Star Trek reality, where they’ve solved all the piddly problems like poverty, starvation, & single payer health care, and have presumably harnessed technology to relieve the people of the burden of doing all the lousy jobs like picking up the garbage and snaking out the septic system, allowing everyone to pursue activities more in line with their inner, higher natures, like poetry, art history, astronomy, and smoking pot. Instead, 90% of us have to go to work and scrape by week to week, while the other 10% have enormous wealth, get the best access to everything the country has to offer, and huge tax cuts so they don’t have to pay for it. Goddamn it, I want food replicators, transporters, warp drive, and holodecks. Actually, just give me the holodeck, and I’ll pretend I have the rest.
