Of all the televisions shows that I have watched since I was little, none have left a larger impression upon me than a Japanese anime flick called Trigun.
Anyways while watching the Trigun anime many moons ago, I came across an interesting quote from the main character, Vash the Stampede:
"The ticket to the future is always open."
With hyperinflation (via massive deficits), swine flu and pychotic dictators preaching nuclear war against their neighbors, I sometimes wonder if the future is going to be as open and friendly as I always dreamed it would be.
Despite the seriousness of these issues, the US is as polarized as ever, with both sides making childish remarks against each other (such as "the party of no" or Telepromter of the US aka TOTUS) instead of finding solutions on common ground.
What ever happened to the help thy neighbor attitude, even if you disagreed with most of their political views?
Perhaps I am naive, but I do know that if we don't figure out how to work together, the US will be finished as an economic power (not to mention a military one as well).
Which brings me to another quote from Trigun by Rem Saverem:
"And if you can keep your vision clear, you will see the future. What happens in our future is our own responsibility."
I think it's time we start working together instead of taking shots at each other, as if the other party were the full reincarnation of the Nazi party.
Because whether we like it or not, it's going to take ALL OF US to solve these unprecedent times--and if we can not even do that then we might as well dust off our passports and start taking classes in Manderin (aka Chinese).
