Many have asked me, "Amy why are you so adamantly against antigravity research? It could be such a boon to mankind, why are you so against it?"
Well... okay, none of you have asked me that, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
Generally I'm not against advancing our scientific knowledge at all, and I view most advances in technology as a good thing insofar as they make our lives easier, but this is not one of those advances that will benefit us, and it's draconian implications are clear to anyone taking the time to think about them.
My objections to antigravity research stem from the clear capitalist principle that if they can shut it off they can then bill you for it! Just mull that over for a minute, okay?
Scientists have historically dismissed talk of anti-gravity machines as utter nonsense. But at a rare, closed-door conference at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, scientists representing major universities, national weapons laboratories, defense contractors and the corporate research and development community gathered to hear a detailed account of the space agency's progress in attempting to build a machine that once seemed beyond the bounds of possibility.....
In a surprising departure from its, long-standing policy of openness, NASA did not invite the press to the conference. However, after, interviews with attendees, Popular Mechanics has learned that a group of researchers at NASA's Marshall Manned Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, has nearly completed building a device that could make it possible to reduce gravitational attractions in its immediate vicinity.....
Okay then. Let's say that Boeing or Nasa finally comes up with a way to shut off gravity and send things soaring into space from anywhere on earth.
Remember now, if they can shut it off they can bill you for it!
Once they are able to do that, they pretty much OWN gravity, now don't they? They may as well have a patent on it, much as Monsanto has patented the pigs owned by French farmers.
Monsanto is suing those hapless French farmers into the very fires of Hell for having pigs with their patented genes in them. Of course that's bull->-bleeped-<-, and a hideous legal hustle on Monsanto's part, but hey, they are getting away with it! How? Well they managed to replicate a gene in their labs that naturally occurs in pigs, then pretend they invented it so they could patent it, and screw farmers the world over.
Pretty shabby eh? You ain't seen nothin yet!
Now, back to Nasa and Boeing... let's look down the road from where they developed antigravity, say five years into the future from there...
Let's just suppose that your monthly gravity bill comes to $377.50 a month....adjusted for your obesity index as mandatorily reported to the government by your doctor...
You are driving home, turn a corner and see something that has become an all too familiar sight, a man desperately hanging onto a parking meter, his legs waving in the air as raucous teens taunt him and threaten to pry his hands loose.
If they do that he will sail upward tens of thousands of feet until he cannot breathe in the stratosphere, and then out into the vacuum of space, where his blood will boil as he freezes solid, already dead from hypoxia.
He's not paid his gravity bill, and they shut him off on his way to the bus.
Or, you go over to a friend's house for dinner and they are all on the ceiling, helpless to get down. You have to pull them down and tie them to the steel loops in the floor most poor people have anymore, and now they can't go outside until they can get someone to loan them the money to pay Boeing for their gravity bill....
If Boeing wants, their collections department can levitate your dog into space, or your car, your child, anything.
You see where this is going don't you? Don't think it can't happen, Monsanto has already paved the way for this sort of inhuman corporate conduct.
Write your congressman today! Urge them to introduce legislation to stop this research. It should never be done, because the abuses of antigravity are something we should never have to countenance.
Be assured, those abuses will be committed, just as surely as Monsanto owns your pig.
Rich imagination...
If the PTB could pull of crap like this they would be presenting us with air bills years ago.
"You didn't pay your air bill! Put her in a vacum chamber!"

Well I was just having a little fun. I'm bored, and I have so little fun anymore... but ya know, they have floated the idea of a monitoring chip in our tracheas that meters oxygen and CO2 so they can bill us and tax us for that.
Of course they'd have to have a valve in there too so they can cut you off for not paying your bill....
hehe. Cute Amykins.
I would be more worries about the military-industrial complex make floating gunships to float over our neighborhoods.

We might be giving them too many ideas here. Actually they already have those gunships, they are called Predator drones. You just can't tell they are there until something goes kaboom.
That genuinely made me laugh. Thank you.
What would worry me more is the inconvenience when they do activate the device, and you find that rather than disappearing off into the great beyond, you find yourself orbiting a sumo wrestler or something as they bounce down the street.
Lovely post, enjoyed it. I think there was an April 1st report in the UK that Industrial areas could claim oxygen tax form none industrial areas to compensate for their air quality. Then again if they could they would :laugh: :laugh:

I saw 'dancing on the ceiling' video last night, first time for a long time.

Great idea. We'd all be able to emulate Fred Astaire, or Gene Kelly (, can't remember who,) where they were dancing on the ceiling. They had to stop when the people upstairs complained about the noise!
