Do what thy manhood bids thee do,
From none but self expect applause:
He noblest lives and noblest dies
Who makes and keeps his self-made laws."
~ Sir Richard Francis Burton
Mike Judge's <em>Idiocracy</em>
"I haven't seen it yet, but this clip from Mike Judge's dystopian comedy about a man frozen for a government experiment only to come out of it five centuries later to find that nearly everyone in the world is pushing a barely 70 IQ is absolutely hilarious. This film was under marketed by Fox upon its initial release last summer, but thanks to YouTube, it may be getting a new opportunity to win a mass audience. (Be sure to check out the clip that projects a future U.S. government that looks to me like a dead-on extrapolation of current trends. WARNING: MORE PROFANE LANGUAGE.)"
