If you were to place a flying video camera above my head, and you were to continuously shoot footage as the camera slowly climbed higher and higher into the sky, you'd notice that I get smaller and smaller, and eventually, I'd be too small to be seen by any person who chooses to watch the video. Once the camera got far enough away from me, you'd actually begin to see the round outline of the Earth set in stark contrast to the immense blackness of space surrounding it on all sides. As the camera continued to move away, eventually, even the earth would be too small to see. As the camera continued to move away, eventually our sun would be nothing more than just another pin-point of light in a massive, fuzzy orgy of celestial bodies. Moving away, moving away, and now our entire galaxy even appears to be nothing more than a pin-point of light, for the most part, eerily similar to the countless others that occupy the surrounding space. The physical improbability of building a camera this robust is obvious. So, what's the point? I'd like to hear what all of you think this means.

What does this have to do with your documented hatred of the French?

Very little actually. You see, this blog, though overtly political at times, is really an attempt at self-expression. So if on a given day, I don't feel compelled to talk about your dislike of the French, it doesn't NEED to happen. Which is great, because it leaves the discussion avaliable for far more pressing issues...like floating cameras, for instance.
