To stick to the topic here, I'd have to agree with Barry that tip-toeing through the Rakoshi nest is a brilliant scene.

Ken Valentine Wrote:Whether or not space exploration is necessary does not justify the staggering amount of theft used to finance it.

I find it interesting that the government has virtually BANNED private space exploration -- I wonder why they did that. Could it be because it they couldn't stand the thought of competition?

Besides, ALL of the devices and vehicles used to explore space are created by private enterprise. All the government does is to hand over the stolen funds and wave the baton.

It's the same with everything else the government does. From the "Government Model" handgun to ballistic missles, everything is actually done by private enterprise -- including building roads.

Maggers Wrote:Yet another great scene. I also like the scene in the temple in India when little Kusum fights the first Westphalen and all the Rakoshi (nearly) go up in smoke.



Thanks, Webby, for respecting the sections of this board and keeping politics where they belong. I wish others were as considerate as you are.

If by your definition all taxes are theft--and I can see the point--we disagree on a basic level.

Mine was when Jack elects to torch Kusum with the flamethrower (very awesome FPW) rather than fight him hand to hand...Jack's only concern is Vicky, let Kusum have his honor
