BEAM ME SOMEWHERE! – Marilyn Armstrong




As airlines make traveling by air increasingly miserable, unfriendly, and physically uncomfortable, those of us who yearn to travel but abhor airports and airplanes have been waiting for teleportation.

You know. “Scotty, beam me up” and off you go to another place. It might be earth. It might be an outer planet in another galaxy. It might be … well … the bar in Star Wars of that cool one in Second Generation! Who the hell knows? And who really cares?
Although I foresee a limit on luggage, I’m sure I could work with that. They are making gigantic strides in travel clothing every day!

Warning, though. This is one of the many things we won't
be able to do unless we vote very Blue this November and remove the Orange Menace from the White House. Anyone who feels we need a wall at the Mexican border isn't going to allow teleportation for just anyone from anywhere to anywhere else.
Certainly, I can't imagine his nibs allowing 
ALIENS beaming into the land of the free and the home of the cringing, whining, terrified white people who voted for Orange Peel. If you think brown, red, yellow, or beige people whose native language isn't English are out to get you, what will you do with a creature with tentacles who loves drinking grout cleaner?
What a bunch of dumbasses. We could 
own the universe, but instead, we prefer being locked up behind our own walls lest we feel potentially threatened by people who are different than us. And mind you, there is really not a bit of difference between us and the other colors and styles of people. We are all exactly the same, genetically.
Obviously, there are individual differences. Smarter, dumber, more creative, more athletic, totally clumsy -- but nothing that you won't see in any group of people who all have the same coloring or background. Skin and its variations have no effect on intelligence or ability to understand the meaning of the universe.

You know that, right? Nor does not speaking English. Mr. Nobel was Swedish. He didn't speak American. Einstein was an immigrant. Sam Adams made beer and fomented revolution ... and I'm not sure where he was from. Ireland? Scotland? England? Germany? The whole world? And anyway, we are all from Africa because that's where humanity began. Check it out.

But wait! Orange Gecko won't be in charge forever! He's too old! Unless we've also invented the no-aging device, he's going to bite the big one just like the rest of us.
Get those transporter beams revved up. I'm ready!

Let's open up the world while I'm can still enjoy it. We will take our elderly tricycles and electric wheelchairs with us. Surely they have sidewalks on Betelgeuse.
