Fist of the North Star

Saturday September 3, 2005 - 12:31AM EDT

Fist of the North Star is this ultra violent anime in a post apocolyptuc world where bands of thugs go around killing people in the most horrific ways for no reason at all. The violence in it is astonishing by any standards, although I am quite desensitized after watching it many times over. The violence and vision of the world is so outrageous that you think that it is crazy and it would never happen on earth no matter what. I was wrong. Newt G. was quoted today as saying something along the lines of, if this is the response to something we knew was coming a week in advance how do we think we are prepared for a nuclear or biological disaster. Which consequently a Naval chemical expert mentioned to me a few years back, we aren't and when that happens the best thing to do is to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.
