Where Is Dr. Who When You Need Him?

The GOP is like the Daleks and we are all in very grave danger. So where is Dr. Who. It you have ever watched any Dr. Who he has confronted the Daleks on numerous occasions. And they always seem to come back. And if you look at the Dalek agenda the GOP is a PERFECT match.

Even knowing what was going to happen through time and space, he spared them. given the chance to time travel and stop them, he was unable to do so.

He said he didn't have the right to judge and commit genocide. This is the difference between the parties, and why one will always be on the ropes.

Then they went off to create so much havoc during their conquests that entire planets united to drive them off, save those who lost to them. Then they found the Doctor's home planet and destroyed it. And somehow kept on coming back.

They'll always be back, working their way through space and time to recreate universes to be just like them. Everything has to be in their image. It's a visceral survival thing, where all must be the same.

Humanity is just a tool and they'll keep on killing them. It's what Daleks do. But we do have a tool to travel back in time, if we will listen.

It is those who have memories of a different way of doing things that were more humane and loving. A lot of people, the Rush generation is what I call them, disdain that. The warrior mentality of the 9/11 gen also sees itself pitted in survival mode against a host of enemies.

Is there a gray space to live in? In a completely adversarial society, is it always the fact that one half will be oppressed and or killed by the other? Do principles exceed the suvival instinct, do they move the masses? Or are the like the planet in the OST where they didn't give the Klingons what they wanted and in full knowledge of the death of their planet, took the noble death route or genocide? Are such able to carry on their message of peace and equality, any more than the tribes slaughtered by conquerers? If some are willing to die for peace, are their words still heard?
