Unfortunately, the entire public is much more into it for entertainment value than for encouragement to act. And since it makes hit tv, the longer it goes on, the more it will seem to be about a personality cult thing instead of addressing the problem. :o[
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. —Albert Einstein
Thanks!

The conflict between Paul & the captain of the Ady Gil seemed to take center stage.
Yep. Shit. They need the PR but they can't get it without becoming entertainment instead of mortally serious.
ReplyDeleteMakes one wish to find the very kernel of the problem and... well... NUKE it.
