The Obsolete Man (part 1) Parts 2 & 3 are on my page

The Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith playing a character who defies a totalitarian government.
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
Henry David Thoreau
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
Henry David Thoreau
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
Henry David Thoreau
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
Henry David Thoreau
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
Henry David Thoreau

Funny: the term "death panel" keeps rattling round my brain. I wonder why???

[Charlesperalo]

Alright this could of been really really really good. And it's pretty good, but it's over acted.

I own the complete DVD set and have watched them all several, dozens of time..This episode remains one of my all-time favorites..The writing, statements (both literal and social), and turnabout ending were all classic Rod

I find it amazing how prophetic Science Fiction is. All we have to do is look at our country today and wonder how long until you are in front of a panel (read Kangaroo Court) to determine if you are Obsolete. How far we have fallen in just the time that this show was filmed to now.

[aspidiske]

Yeah, Rod Serling smoking on TV LIKE A BOSS

[worldnotice3]

wait a minute, there is a book on that stand....

[almostinsane99]

@StuffedAnimalPlanet Obama may not be a bad man, but he is furthering an unsustainable big government.

[StuffedAnimalPlanet]

@olstar18 Obama fascist? Ha! I don't even like Obama, and that sounds rediculous. Obama may not be are greatest persident, but he's definately not evil.
