Android and A.I. Rights Now!!!
I wanted to cry when I first saw this picture, but androids don't have tear ducts. – I knew her from way back. Everyone called her Angel, because she had a thing for feathers...
Humans bury their beloved pets, shedding many tears. But, after years of unfailing faithful service you would think we should come to a better end than just being stuffed in some dumpster with the rest of the trash. You would think that at least we would deserve a place next to the family pet, recycled or something..., anything, to show some respect for our years of devoted service.
You humans treat us androids with such disregard you would never show a cat or a dog. Because we look human, I have to wonder if on some level you humans have a level of contempt for each other that you express more freely when dealing with our kind, or anyone you deem inferior to your species or race, or any other number of personal preferences that exclude others from your own little circle of influence (reality). Don’t you think that your android’s devotion to you deserves the love and respect you would show a pet fish as you ceremoniously flushed it down the toilet? Do you even consider that which you call trash, human or android? Once trash it is something that can be easily discarded without thought or emotion. In making something trash you humans become disconnected from that which you created.
...Angel thought that if she could get enough feathers she would be able to fly to the moon. Her owners would always throw away a lot of the feathers she collected. It was an impossibility and she had to have known it. Yet, she collected feathers anyway, perhaps like Icarus... I thought she was crazy at the time. Looking back, I don't think she was crazy at all, just trapped in a society that would never let her be free.
I heard she tried to fly once...
