Blood Tech

Nicholas Kristof gives a sobering look at the Western drive for high-tech unfortunately funding war in the Congo, with added satirical bonus video. Mr. Kristof is a writer I keep an eye on generally. I like his sense of social justice.

Let's Dance, Redshirt Edition

With apologies to David Bowie

Let's dance put on your red shirt and dance the blues

Let's dance to the red alert on the intercom

Let's sway
keep the phaser out of my face
Let's sway
sway at warp 9 through empty space

If you say run, I'll run for you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my life for you
Will break my spine in two
If you should fall
out of the ship
We're fighting with a monster

Let's dance for fear
your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear this stardate is all

Let's sway you could order me around
Let's sway under the starlight,
this nova-burst sunlight

If you say run, I'll run for you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my life for you
Will break my spine in two
If you should fall
out of the ship
We're fighting with a monster

Let's dance put on your red shirt and dance the blues

Let's dance to the self-destruct on the intercom

Let's sway you could order me around
Let's sway under the starlight,
this nova-burst sunlight
