Damn that jango fett making hispanics look bad even though he's not even hispanic but Maori... damn that racist George Lucas!!!!!

That guy can't win. He even made Jango a bit on the heroic side (you know, just a single father, lookin' out for his kid...) to keep the PC gestapo at bay. Nope, didn't work.

I notice that all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over perceived injustcies to minorities and working-class people in general (not to mention the jealousy that an actual English professor in Britain wrote something staggering popular that wasn't even romotely post-modern) that followed in the week of Fellowship of the Ring-- has disappeared utterly.

Everybody's a Ring Geek now!

Another way for our benighted friend to look at this - once we correct his figures - is to ask why it is that Zimbabwe has a GNP only times as large as the gross take of a major motion picture trilogy.

And it ain't because evil Americans have been stealing Zimbabwe's wealth.

Then it would be profitable for him to ask whether all that money - given freely by consumers for a product they desire - should be given to Zimbabwe instead. And if we did whether any of it would go to the poor people of Zimbabwe rather than their insane kleptocratic thug of a president.

Use of the word "..... reactionary..... is VERY telling.

Why doesn't he just immigrate to some 'People's Paradise' like North Korea where a great Director is also the supreme leader and let the rest of us vote with our wallets.

Funny you mention it, hippie ideals are vaguely GOP...except for the blue and gray suits.
