I agree. The decisions that are made everyday to send a soldier to war (someone's child) or to their certain death (prison system) is made everyday in board rooms. Maybe not on the same grand scale but what they do still effects all of us in some way. We all know about the dirt that our government

I often argue that fiction is truer than non-fiction. These five episodes sum up the cruel state of the world better than any news report I have ever seen or read. The machinations of the power elite in "Children" ape what happens in caucus, conference and board rooms all over the world, every

I watched episodes 1-4 last night. Great stuff! I continue to appreciate the way people of color - particularly black people - are seamlessly integrated into this alternate reality - and England is a great backdrop "character" in this drama(And, you gotta love the chutzpa of the British - stil

They made it a little difficult to purchase an AK in my state, so I will have to settle for a AR15 or a shotgun with .00. I'm enjoying the show too. On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 2:46 PM, angelababycat wrote: > S funny you say that because it DID have me thinking. I had to dispose > of "all fire

S funny you say that because it DID have me thinking. I had to dispose of "all fire arms" to pass my home study last year (my daughter's adopted), but hadn't given it a second thought...until about half way through Ep. 1 Monday night. Excellent show. Angela --- In scifinoir2@yahoogrou
