Napier, thats basically a "The sky is falling!" argument. Its the same basic type of thrust that the global warming crowd uses. Thats not to compare you to them but to illustrate the fallacy of the argument.

If children starving to death in the streets on such the scale that creates a "domestic enemy force" occurs, there are far worse things going on and propelling the symptom.

Creating a federal "safety net" when private, religious, city, county and state "nets" are already in existence and doing their job doesn't make sense. It empowers a national government more towards the level of tyranny.

The children are starving is nothing compared to tyranny that the constitution and federal government were designed to prevent. Look at Africa. Children by the multitudes starve to death there and what is the basic reason? They live under tyranny.

Oh, the sky is not falling by the way, but when it does, I'm sure there are enough good willed and sane people to step outside and hold the sky up while a solution is figured out.

That solves a symptom only in your hypothetical. Its also a localized problem and not a national problem. Food riots, riots in any form that is not geared or orchestrated by an enemy force (I include domestic enemies as well) are by nature local. Solve the local problems at the local level.

I am most definitely not in love with that word. I mess it up so often. :)

Kingdom of God should be realized on earth and it will. However, the Kingdom of God your referring to is not mine. The one your referring to is a Kingdom FOR God and not of him.

I read review after review here and for the most part I find that the reviewers political take on the movies are right on. The same with the majority of the users. However, the sheer jadedness of the populous is breathtaking. Can any of you not sit back, open up your imagination, remove the thinking cap and just experience? There is something to be said for appreciating a movie for what it is rather than what you expect it to be.

I know one thing. I am going to go see this movie and I will not be disappointed because I at least can put my pundit hat off and simply enjoy a tale that seems to have only the goal of entertaining.

Maybe I lost my "dude" card but also maybe the "dude" card you are referring to is actually a half dude card.

My wife and I went to see Twilight on opening night and I had never even heard of Meyer or the series. This is kind of strange for me as I read alot of sci/fi fantasy to begin width. We loved the movie and were surprised at the large amount of teenage girls there. We didn't realize it was one of "those" movies.

We loved it so much we went out and bought the books and read through the books. They are marketed as tween books but in truth they are adult novels. Meyer knows how to tell a good story and having read several thousand books I know a good story when I read one.

Eclipse lived up to my expectations and I look forward to Breaking Dawn.
