Have not seen Town but it sounds like a movie I might enjoy. I like Michael Mann heist movies. The Miami Vice flick was not bad. Little things like realistic gunshot sounds made it more than just a shoot 'em up. (I hate it when a character fires a .45 and there is no visible recoil kick.)
On Res. Dog. " It's a Tarantino caper flick. Hard to compare Tarantino's universe to other movies."
True. You can't outguess him and when the guy is tied to a chair soaked in gasoline you start to pucker.
there is probably nothing more dangerous you could have in your home than a 5 week old fir tree that has gotten dry and crispy.. keep a box of dynamite under the bed or leave a loaded gun where the kids can get at it, nothing has more potential for disaster than one of these tree bombs.. i have spent many a sleepless night with one of these in the house, counting the days until christmas so i could get it out of the house.
i hate them.
we have gone to a fold-up plastic table top since all the kids left home and we only have that because the g-kids always want to see a tree when they are over.. christmas trees - bah humbug!.

god damn the sick, twisted brain that came up with forever lazy!
i mean seriously, i hope he burns in hell!
i did not think anything could top the horrid snuggi- which is just a robe worn backwards.
I think the PooTraps would go over big at truck stop stores.
One advantage of the body jammies that wasn't exploited would be the fart trapping aspects in social settings.
I'm sure they will be seen soon on People of WalMart.
our daughter (270 miles away) skypes with us and we interact with our baby grandaughter quite well through the computor.
yesterday, we played a trick on her.
we held a ritz cracker up to the camera and offered her a bite.
so long as nobody tells her she'll soon have her own pet lion and will never graduate from high before the tribulation hits.
Great point, ex.
We have older grandchildren who are being actively taught by their parents that there IS a Santa Claus. They think it is cute. Yesterday, 3 year old Jack was excitedly telling us about Santa eating the cookies and drinking the milk that they had set out on Xmas eve. I looked at his Dad and said, "I hope you saved the glass so we can bag it and send it in for prints".

We held a Ritz cracker up to the camera and offered her a bite. Our daughter took a concealed Ritz cracker and pretended to take it from the screen. Little Emma looked quite surprised for just a moment and then took a nibble. We asked to have a bite and she held it out to us. Her mother took the cracker and "passed" it back to us through the screen. This went back and forth a couple of times and the baby was very into it and accepted it matter of factly. What have we done to this childs little brain? LOL

Glander: Any institution has a certain structure and amount of cultural conformity, and academia is no exception. But rigorous critique is the primary factor in academia.
The first part of your statement is true. The last sentence is just plain wishful thinking.
i was at the congregation bible study recently (aka "book study") which has been expounding in depth regarding the 1st century's unbelievable resemblance, in organizational terms, to our modern-day governing body and how big decisions are made now.
surprise!
it's exactly like it is supposed to be, according to the bible!.
A discussion of circumsion segues into an essay on Rodney King and police brutality (of course there is no mention of the events leading up to Kings beat down). ? We agree that all police should be perfect. Like Rodney said "why can't we all just get along?" as LA burned down.
I notice a lot of people wearing foreskin hats as the weather gets colder.
you own a business and hire an accountant to manage the finances.. your checks start to bounce every once and awhile.
you anxiously call your accountant: "what's going on?
bank to cover these things!".
Terry, your analogy is right on...except for one thing I would add. Your accountant is holding a huge part of your life, including family, as hostages. If you fire him he will take them away from you.

| "Ayn Rand missed the boat on Collectivism. It took familes and villages working together either as hunter gatherers or early agrarians to sustain themselves and advance. It takes team work to build successful companies and Nations." Designs, your above statement maskes it clear that you do not understand the term "Collectivism", with a captial 'C', as it used here. |
Mindseye - " Yet most contemporary philosophers and academic departments don't take Rand very seriously, and for good reason....blah blah"
I would point out that it is "contemporary philosophers and academic departments" who are the core cheerleaders for Collectivism. Even the word "departments" in this context gives away the group think that these mental midgets cling to.

Great thread, Dogpatch. Terry, your opening statement sums up the typical Rand hater and their completely non-intellectual response to her writings. (Several posters above completely proved your point.)
