Just put OT in the subject line and that way you don't have to read anything that isn't about movie posters. Rocket science it ain't. Have a fine weekend, all.

I get all I want on the thousands of blogs available. Insults and even "truth" in a political discussion are subjective. When a person discusses sex, politics or religion in MIXED company -- more than any other -- they forget that declaring a view some listeners might disagree (vs. one about posters) -- is a short-hand way of telling you that your thinking is flawed -- or worse, that you yourself are flawed. When I have TIME, I'll talk politics off-list, even stray "on-list" if it's about a film. Friends who've read me on MoPo since the 90s know this. I hate this s***. But only HERE. -kuz w/the news.

He went on to say that it is better to be "smart" and try to keep intelligent discourse. No one is trying to win in a discussion if they are smart.. However if one is smart all by itself, generally speaking - that is the winner of any discussion.and I love posters with gorillas and womenI also love poster with women and no gorillason occasion I love a poster with just the gorillaand finally, an ape is just as good.. as long as there is a woman involvedAt 04:28 PM 10/25/2008, David Kusumoto wrote: No, Bruce doesn't get a free pass to talk politics just because he's Bruce Almighty.

I got in trouble last time I said what I thought. I think Al Gore should have been President because he won and that we wouldn't be in this kind of trouble if he had. I also think the planet, at least America, would be in better condition for our kids, green jobs would already be abundant, ergo we wouldn't be in this financial mess (as deeply) , etc. I think it's pretty obvious the primary was was won by Hillary and that Bill would have gone in and fixed whatever he screwed up the first time, which I'm sure so many Presidents wish they could have also done. I think we'd have a kick-ass health program. And finally, after this past decade, I think we should have an Independent for POTUS. They work between party lines.

And they let the robber barons on Wall Street loot the country for 7 years, and then, when those fools managed to bankrupt themselves, they go along with the insane plan of bailing them out with OUR money!
