Time Enough At Last
Season 1, Episode 8
This episode speaks to the binge watcher/reader in me. Burgess Meredith plays a bookworm who takes a lot of shit for his obsession with books. While enjoying his solitary lunch in a bank vault, he unknowingly survives a nuclear blast. Now, it’s just him and a library full of books. At least, until his glasses break and he’s left virtually blind.
To me, this speaks to two lingering contemporary issues. The first is that you might think you have enough time to get to the things you wanna do, but you don’t. And the second is that as much as we hate society and other people, we can’t life without them.

why americans so insecure? in almost every movie or book someone or something always attacks, destroys, kills, invades, abducts or otherwise maul poor yanks... Get real, you are not the center of the universe, neither largest or most significant part of human civilization, to be frank you are parasites who consume more than 50% of planet resources with very questionable if any return for the rest of the world.

Harmless; these are morality tales that have little to do with nationality, or whatever politics you're trying to assign to them; and they were made in the 1950's-60's. I've seen plenty of non-american stories with similar themes, so I don't know what you're getting at except wanting to yammer on about something for no good reason.

#1 What about black supremacy? Is that okay to fight against, or not? Yellow supremacy? Red supremacy? Brown supremacy? How come we should fight against white supremacy, but not the others? Hmmmmm? You can't tell me that they don't exist, because I've seen examples of each one.
Oh, because this is from Slate.com. Maybe not the biggest group of white haters, but still pretty big. Question asked, question answered.
