How could that possibly go wrong.

I'll be in charge so it won't.

I know you're only nervous, JR, because you'll be in the first group taking a ride.

All hail the new King of Kings.

Nervous? I? No -- I admit my faith, acknowledge my inability to know, accept that what will be will be, and, as such, I cherish every moment in this world with the understanding that those moments must, at some point, end.

Saddened that, once again, the finite are assuming the duties of the infinite with an obvious and inevitable foolish/evil result? -- Yes.

Besides, I think your palm would be flashing red too, my friend. In light of the unremmitting nature and primacy of science, you undoubtedly see the logic of your participation in the system science created. Anything else would be irrational. As such, I would take comfort in the wonderful philosophical discussions we would have before being zappped while trying to "RENEW!!!"

That misquote gets you moved up a few spots.

See? You could have just said "No".

If someone else should be providing some manner of service then we need to examine the contract and make it null and void. They are doing a terrible job.

Science will provide me with a solution to the rosy palm. I'll selectively share with my deserving inner circle.

We'll still be able wax philosophical but there will need to be a limit or responses. Perhaps we'll use Twitter?

Well, I thought about sticking with your prefered title of "Lord Emperor of Earth", but the reference seemed obvious and fit so well on so many different levels. You're just being pedantic.

True enough, but where's the fun in that?

Yes. Yes they are. Ah well, 'tis the price of free will. However, never figured you to prefer existence as some infinite being's pet.

So long as it's done by an infalllible system of robot judges, I am cool by that.

"On", my dear chap, not "Upon". I'm happy with the intent of the rest of it.

'They' being the deity by which we are governed.

Naturally. I have my robot suit picked out already.

Sorry, I read the term "they" as a plural pronoun referring to those currently providing the service of "assuming the duties of the infinite" and, as such, thought you were referring to the current situation in which an amalgam of finite beings attempts to understand and apply the infinite's will for humanity as revealed by the course of human existence (including, of course, scientific discovery).

Preferring this flawed freedom to eternal and inevitable pet status of the diety you refer to by "they", I would certainly wish to revoke the contract of such a diety. As does orthodox christianity, I prefer my "governing deity" to promote free will, thank you.
