True story. My son was several years ago in the process of being recruited by the Canadian army AS A SNIPER. But then he failed the drug test. He didn`t tell me this story for a couple of years after, and he still won`t tell me what drug they found in his pee. But DAMN am I glad he did whatever drug he did. Which is why he never told me- he knew how I`d feel about it.

It was actually post script. as in text after he walked out the door to go counsel the murderer. They skipped trying to deal with the ultimate end of the subject's life entirely.

It's actually less complex than that. You should really watch a 'unauthorized copy' like I did. He likes protecting his brothers, the ones who aren't pussies, and also killing people. His wife is pretty whiny about the whole thing, his kids are cardboard cutouts and a plastic doll - figuratively and literally. He gets sad after not getting enough psychologically out of killing savages and cries and comes home Then he fucks his wife, kind of with his kids in the next room. She is happy for the attention, because women are simple like that, then he walks out of the house and dies.

Can I hate the movie because it just seems dreadfully maudlin?

And you can bet if it doesn't win all the Oscars, there will be more rending of garments and gnashing of teeth about the evil Hollywood cabal.

<i>We've been the world's policeman.</i>

I guess since 1991 when we became the only superpower. Almost all those new middle-classers are in China. I doubt they credit our policing.

What is this "purple dress" you speak of? I see only legs and cleavage.

<i>Payne was not able to say exactly what particular quality of American death tolls led inevitably to boosting foreigners into the middle class, but we have no doubt that it can be explained.</i>

The thing trickling down in trickle-down economics is blood?
