Brother, do I wear you out with all these questions???

*laughs* not yet, although we may be boring the board to death! tell you what, drop me a line at: mike_golf_ret @ yahoo.com. We can keep talking there and I can take my time answering the questions.

I'm the "curious George" of the board.

I saw the movie Starship Troopers and based on what I gathered from the movie it was the most discusting piece of fascist proganda I ever seen in a movie. The concept of being the strongest, the meanest, toughest person you can be is revolting to me. Also the way the officers dress at the end of the movie is so of Hermen Goerings design I wanna throw up. But this is just based on what I saw in the movie, I have no idea what the author was trying to convey in the book.

go forth and get a copy of the book. the book and the movie are very very different critters.

The movie is horrible. Read the book, one of the three or four best military science fiction stories ever written.

Ehran i want to but i always forget to pick up a copy at the bookstore everytime.

be careful you don't get the novelization of the wretched excuse for a movie.

S-troopers ins't a bad movie, it is just not a good representation of the book. The book was a reflection on political philosophy in the future, the movie was about laser guns and insectoid aliens in the future. Simply apples and oranges, in my opinion.

oregon x marine On the Florida issue the relevant federal and state election law says that the state supreme court rules on the issue. When the US supreme court overruled the Florida supreme court and overturned the precedents was bad enough in deciding that the federal court could overrule the state court in this instance, but what made it impeachable was when the US supreme court added the last sentence, the one that said that it was only ok for the federal court to overrule the state court in this instance. This instance was the only instance in which the state court was favoring a Liberal. The other instances were where the federal courts were intervening FOR Llberals instead of against them and had their fingers slapped by the US supreme court ruling that the state courts had jurisdiction. You know, where for some reason poor black crack users lose their right to vote but middle class white cocaine users don't. That last sentence will get those justices impeached when the Conservative coalition disintegrates. This is dangerous. We are about to become a democracy instead of a republic. A government of men instead of laws. We are going to abruptly move from a government where compromise rules to a government where majority rules. And Liberals are going to be the majority that rules. This makes me uneasy because I am a Libertarian and I don't want to live in a majoritarian country because I am not a member of the new Liberal majority.
