The Stand. The end of the world. AND YOU!
    #7449801 - 09/24/07 10:51 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I haven't seen this movie since it came out in 1994 and that was 13 years ago. But I have since read the un-edited version of the book, it has 500 pages that were cut initially. And the book was GREAT!

But I watched the movie on SCI FI this weekend start to finish. And for those of you that don't know, this is an 8 hour movie.

It got me to thinking, they institute martial law in that movie and exercise it with extreme prejudice.

Has anyone noticed, with the advent of youtube and general online video sharing the more and more cops that simply abuse their power now for the world to see?

If something like the bird flu or worse were to ever break out in humans (not unlike in the movie) how the world would be very much like that movie. Martial law, and if you think the cops were bad before, just imagine the military doing those jobs!

It's not entirely a far off stretch to think that either a virus man made or otherwise could get out of hand and began to spread across the world. It would be complete and utter ruin, civility would fail and death and destruction would ensue.

Just got me thinking is all. Thanks.

well your not the only one, remember the video's of those prisons that have been built by our government. Basicly their are wearhouses across the states that have fences around them. These buildings are always near train stations (to my memory). Not only that, but these buildings i remember have something special done to them, it was either special ventilation, or incinerators.

Sort of like Xfiles style or Deep Impact where the government has a end all safety measure to safe guard the so called important people? Fuckers.

I think what you are seeing up until now is the pervasiveness of modern media actually exposing more abuses than would have been otherwise. We are looking for it and we find it more often because more people with handcams are floating around.

However, I agree with your premise that martial law (and worse) are in our future. I talk about that some in the Politics board here.
