Spying is an act of WAR.

Well, yeah... When you're number one in the arms business, that would be a good thing. Let us all try to remove the emotional baggage to see things as they really are.

That's just what people are buying. With sufficient funding they will provide you with plenty of Precambrian effluent. Nobody is going to argue with you. They are a business, capitalist to the nth degree. You still have yet to single them out for anything in particular.

I still don't follow. What does having an argument have to do with Hollywood? C'mon man! Spit it out! In real words... I mean, if you don't like the product, don't buy it. What is there about Hollywood that has you so upset?

Well, Hollywood builds fantasies. Who is tearing what down?

I don't get it. What is it about them that is different from any other successful business?

...there just isn't much competition.

One stop shopping for all your propaganda needs. To paraphrase: *You supply the money, and they'll supply the message*. Anything you could possibly want is at your fingertips. What's not to like?

They merely present caricatures. That is their purpose, and the people that pay them are pleased.

Ah, but they do..

The world doesn't need your kind. We don't want to have to spend our lives resisting your restrictions, but we'll do what we must.

Give an example of where people were not more free as power became more local.

Be more specific. Which people are you taking about?

Waddya gonna do when the company goes belly up? You'd better take screen shots while you can...

The only one lying is you, and only to yourself. To me you are simply mistaken and misguided. History has confirmed many times over what I said. Your classical denials are further confirmation. The addict denying the addiction. As long as man craves authority you will always have a feudal society in perpetual war as everyone jockeys for advantage while those on top try to keep theirs. It's as natural as the sun, moon, and the tides. There's no getting around it. It is law, absolute and unambiguous, written by the creator

You say truly wonderful things about republicanism, yet completely fail to understand why such things will never exist outside the textbook.Communism and all the other 'isms' suffer the same predicament. And if they could exist, they wouldn't be thought necessary.

One of my mantras is "local = free."

Of course it does! For the dominant power. For the rest? Well, who cares about them? They don't write the history books. Those that try are dismissed out of hand as liars.. What you defend are medieval fiefdoms and privileged status, Might makes right... It's a 'domestic matter' you say.

Pearls to the swine!
