There is another important freedom which we restrict the government from infringing upon in the First Amendment, and that is the principle of Free Association. A private school is allowed to operate by its own rules because it is an institution entered into voluntarily. A public school (in the American sense) is a state entity to which broader rules must apply, because (in principle at least) it is akin to governmental interference. I can kick you out of my house if you insult me, but I can't kick you out of the country.

That's the only part of the movie that really got to me. I thought, "One movie I can go to where I won't be the only one over twelve years old without a date", and I was wrong. Maybe I should have talked to the pimp who was sitting four rows behind me.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Upon a revisit to this thread, I was dismayed to find I'd been moderated with a score of "2: Funny". I was completely serious about that.

gaaa! You're making us think rationally, instead of emotionally! Stop that this instant or we'll throw you in jail!
No, we're still arguing over who gets the checque.
IIRC, wasn't Spielberg's last CD-ROM project (Steven Spielberg's Director's Chair) a Windows app? Will this Lego project be a go for Un*x?
