Since the joke was identical to what presently passes for political argument I think that I can be excused for not getting it.

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.
Don't be too eager to lash out (brain power).
On a different note, did you read Goldstein and Rikon's column on
public use in condemnation in yesterday's law journal?
