Question of the day
Wednesday, Jul 18, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * We talked about this earlier in the week…
* Leader Durkin’s hard-working second in command most certainly deserves some special recognition. Here’s a screen cap from a House Republican video entitled: “State Rep. Tom Demmer Premiers Google Glass on House Floor”… ![]() * The Question: Caption?

Crack that whip
Give the truth, a slip
Cash Bruce’s check
It won’t break his back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the budget sets too long
You must whip it
When something’s going wrong
You must whip it
So whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

Mom? I’m on the House floor for crying out loud. You’re embarrassing me. What? Which remote control are you trying? Is it on channel 3? You have to turn the power on both the TV and the cable box. I really don’t have time for this right now. I’ll call you later. I don’t
know, after we adjourn, like six o’clock. Yeah, yeah, love you too.
Thank you Mr. Speaker. Where was I? OK, to the bill, I urge an aye vote.”

I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets—in space ships like this one—and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us; this power can not be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is that we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war—free to pursue more profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet. But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer; the decision rests with you.
