Another Thought About 30
In Logan's Run, everyone had red crystals in thier hands. When they turned 29, the crystals would start to blink. When you turned 30, it would turn black and the super computer that controlled your life forced you to put on a red and white unitard and a mask that kind of made you look like an Imperial Stormtrooper. Then they'd send you to Carousel... a big arena where you would get levitated into the air and then blown up while massive crowds of 20-somethings ate popcorn and cheered. Your other choice was running for your life... but most likely Michael York would catch you and shoot you with his flashlight-gun-thingy. If you were lucky enough to escape Michael York, you still had to get past the insane ice robot...
As depressed as I am about being 30, I'm glad I don't live in Logan's Run.
