Reply #30: I have

Read the thread further on, another poster MADE THE POINT for you and me.

And I will repeat myself, before you can walk you have to crawl, we are at the crawling stage

Here, in this thread we can engage in a wonderful discussion on post modern thought, and post modern view of history and the world

Hell, I could even add a little marxist analysis if you care for that

But that thread, you are once again saying that there is no willful ignorance... for christ sake, we even had a poster say that I had no reason to believe George Lucas when George has repeatedly said in interviews that Star Wars was an allegory of the Nixon Administration. Lucas has stated that, yet a viewer of his movies is staying, no, I don't believe him since I cannot see Nixon anywhere, and this is about Bush because I want it to be about Bush. Never mind the author, the writer himself (sorry for the reflexive pronoun) said in an interview this work is about Nixon. What would the author know?

Another saying that Lord of the Rings was about Bush, never mind Peter Jackson did a work based on Token's work and has also gone out of his way to explain that Sauron is based on well Sauron of LoTR.

Go back to that thread... you will even find a poster telling me that HS students should not be expected to know the basics of history (which this battle is)

So on that thread de-constructing the film industry is not the place to do it. Sorry.

You want to engage in that? Sure... but if you are tired, please remove the link... obviously we are talking across each other since I can see where the majority are, and it is far from the intellectual heights you want to talk about... it is part of a wider anti intellectual environment we live in... and yes, I choose to recognize that reality, as sad as it may be
