Well, it takes all kinds.
I try to stick to verifiable science. Technically, there's probably no proof that this guy ISN'T from the future, but somehow, I think I'm not going to take what he says as gospel truth. I know that's crazy of me, but what can you do? 😉
That is wild, though. 😛
On the Attack of the Clones DVD, Lucas comments:
"This idea of a democracy being giving up--in many cases being given up in a time of crisis--you see it throughout history whether it's Julius Caesar, or Napoleon, or Adolph Hitler, you see these democracies under a lot of pressure, in a crisis situation, end up giving up a lot of the freedoms they have, and a lot of checks and balances, to somebody with a strong authority to help get them through the crisis. You know, it's not the first time a politician has created a war to help them stay in office."
"If you're not with us, you're against us."--A typical quote from W. in that it grossly oversimplifies the situation, much to the gratitude of many Americans who would rather not acknowledge the complexity and ambiguity of such issues. That's boring. They don't want to see intelligent discourse, they want entertainment.
"If you are not with me, you are my enemy."--Darth Vader. Don't you think that if this wasn't a direct mocking of Bush that the line "If you are not my ally, you are my enemy." would have been used instead?
