        Though in this case, the revolution is eating its parents. -- nm - Roger More Nov 10, 08:59
    - That is my other slim hope. The Republicans will fracture between the moderate and Tea Party to such an extent they need Democrats to be their swing - jnine Nov 10, 08:52

      - or Robocop. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 10, 08:26 3
        
        This is why I respectfully disagree with Reagen's opinion that we will get more escapist movies. - Roger More Nov 10, 08:37 1
        
        I think 9.11 has an impact. It's when we started to see all the "End of the World as we know It" TV and movies. It shook people to their core. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 10, 08:42
