This is a movie that needs to be seen by everyone now. A fascist dictatorship takes over the country in an "election" when everyone is scared by events. No longer called the president, he is now "The Leader" (which is what Der Fuhrer means) and has taken emergency powers voted in by a panicked Congress (a la' The PATRIOT ACT) and has created a Gestapo called the Internal Security Force (Homeland Security). People can't pass from one part of the country to another without an internal passport, a la' the old Soviet Union (and the proposed national ID cards now). A small resistance called the Society of Man learns from a patriotic Air Force colonel that the INF is going to launch terrorist attacks to blame on the resistance to take even more control and erode public support for the Society of Man. No wander this movie is never shown on tv and isn't available on VHS or DVD. People would recognize the parallels to todays situation.

Well, I guess if you drool alot, you don't have to worry about it.
However, on the Iceland thread, it seems like people are shouting at each other so much, that I don't think they ARE taking time to stop and take a breath. It's hard to perform mouth to mouth over the Internet.
Really good post, I think people need to stop and think who is really pulling the strings at the moment. Hopefully you have planted the seeds of truth in someones mind. even if you get 1 person you have done a great job.
@TheRooster What is the point system? i just ignore it, it does not exist to me.
I agree. Good thread. I am just about ready to unplug the internet and go back to a normal life.....for me a lot of depression and crap happened when the internet was hooked up. The I can decide whatto focus on again, (comedy) instead of feeling led here and ther by evryone else....My fault for playing the game though.
To subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence.
Therefore, the best warfare strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack alliances, next is to attack the army, and the worst is to attack a walled city.
...
Laying siege to a city is only done when other options are not available.
Therefore, one who is skilled in warfare principles subdues the enemy without doing battle, takes the enemy's walled city without attacking, and overthrows the enemy quickly, without protracted warfare.
I find it interesting that this many like minded people are coming together tonight - and this quickly. (Of course, I should be working...my clients might not find it near as interesting. Oh well, there'll be time enough for that later, right?)
Funny I was bringing up this samething on another thread about how people are allowing themselves to be led along.
