Parallel posting! *looks at the timestamps*
Thanks, Occhi. I didn't quite know how to deal with the venom you were spitting in the previous reply, but THIS I can read quite happily. :)
You've every right to assume my conclusions are simplistic. I work with the information that I have at my disposal, and draw conclusions as best I can. Posting those conclusions on a forum such as this is done, in my opinion, for one reason: "I'd like to know more about this".
THAT, you have answered in Spades. While I look askance at some of your own conclusions, several others have cited instances and details that I either hadn't considered or simply didn't know. All of which is excellent; I have far more insight and balance on the topic now than I did when I posted its opening.

That most likely took you the best part of an hour... maybe even longer. For that, I thank you greatly. I know you enjoy debating on this forum... but you'll forgive me the vanity of thinking that your effort there was directed at me, solely. I'd like you to understand that I appreciate the time you put into your presentation and the means by which you make your own points. I always respect the one's willing to sit down and try to "get it across". I hope you can appreciate that I was reading carefully through it and weighing the words and ideas as well.
Quite. But one has to start somewhere. It's the climb towards understanding that means the most, neh? :)

If it has more than four legs, kill it immediately.
Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
Eight hours per day of children's TV programming can reduce a grown man to tears -- PM me for details.
