  2. No asbestos keyboards here.... by darkonc · · Score: 2 · on The Case for the Empire
    Palpatine is a dictator--but a relatively benign one, like Pinochet. It's a dictatorship people can do business with.

    I heard rumors that, before submitting this article, the author made inquiries with NASA about obtaining some of those bricks that they use to shield the shuttle on re-entry.

    For those of you who don't read outside of the tech/SF industries, Pinochet made the news, not too long ago when spain had Britain arrest him for the kidnapping, torture and murder of Spanish nationals in Chile after his 'benign' rise to power, where he bombed the presidential pallace. After the death of Chile's elected president, he hunted down the supporters of the elected government, arresting, torturing and/or killing them ('disappearing').

    If that's what he calls benign, I'd hate to see what he calls 'nasty'. It's not exageration to say that Pinochet's CIA-supported regime probably has more blood on his hands than AL Quaida (which also had CIA support).

    And, as for Palpatine's lament that " "the bureaucrats are in charge now." He was in the middle of an attempt to (successfully) manipulate Padme into making a move that would give him the chancelorship (and eventual emperorship) of the republic.

    For profit films are mostly not art

    Maybe you might not consider them such, but most do. An objet d'Art is what you like. A grose monstrosity is what you don't. Like it or lump it, NFB & Telefilm shows don't even make good filler for the "We're having technical difficulty" signs because most people would rather watch nothing than a crudely drawn carton trumpet (literally) on about nothing... Here's some of your tax dollars at work:

    The best part is, you have to actually PAY to see those movies. They aren't even totally free because this is Telefilm Canada, not the NFB! Yes, my Canadian freinds, you helped PAY for it, you INVESTED in it, and now you get to PAY again. Kinda like surtax. Such fun I haven't seen!
