Mark, as John said, don't take things too seriously. I thought it was very funny even if I shouldn't have. Secondly, the quote from Churchill (not me) I don't think necessarily means that you have to be more conservative as you get older, or that you are not smart if you don;t, but recognizes perhaps the natural tendency for most people to adopt more conservative views as they age. Whether they, including myself, think they are smarter for doing so, is their own opinion. Thirdly, at least the way the films were described in the write on the forum, leads me to believe that they are not a search for the truth, but a one-sided attempt to reach a foregone conclusion. No good whether from the right or left.

On a different note, did you read Goldstein and Rikon's column on public use in condemnation in yesterday's law journal? , --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Tyler, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One sided discussions, to some extent, are a necessary and potentially > valauable part of democracy.
