If Fred Thompson is not allowed to appear on Law and Order, if he runs for President, I believe AlGore should not be seen in his mockudrama!

When I was in grade school in the ‘60’s, I remember seeing a movie where they showed some guy in a space suit leaving his house through an airlock.

Tha narrator was telling us that by 1980, we wouldn’t be able to go outside without protection from the toxic atmosphere.

Zon, if you teach how to think then their skulls full of mush might come to different conclusions from the desired norm,ie your correct outcome.

if required to show this film one always has the option of lecturing first then requiring a paper writen on it critiquing it. remember a scientist examines the data then draws his?her conclusion, is there real data with this fiction? I have yet to see this film but it is in thew best tradition of michaeel Moor winning “best mocumentary”

when we have consensus we have politics not science!
