Obama's re-election. Slow but sure advances in LGBTQ equality. An increasingly diverse America. Amidst all these developments, I'm waiting for some frustrated Religious Right figure to have a freak-out like Morn did in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
A friend of mine who is both a rancher and fairly conservative told me that the day after Obama's re-election, he arranged to sell all his cattle in anticipation of his sudden retirement. Staying in business just doesn't seem likely to be worthwhile to him. I myself suspect his fears are somewhat exaggerated.
Well, it's possible he's pulling my leg about selling his cattle and retiring, Ahab, but I don't think so. He blames Obama for the tough economic times and thinks things are going to get much worse now that he's been re-elected.
Dang, I sure miss DS9. I must find some re-runs. I miss the whole star trek adventure. Except for the last one which I didn't enjoy a lot. Sigh...I need space fantasy!

ReplyDeletePaul -- So he went through with it? Was it the tough economic times, or fears about Obama that motivated him? What does he plan to do now?

ReplyDeleteSherry -- I know Next Generation is running reruns, but I haven't seen DS9 reruns lately. I hope they air them.
