They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

i was thinking about it, but i was criticized for it. i think its fine the way it is. last samurai in the end was cut short. I am planning a MORE popular thread after this war thread is over. which is going to be BATTLE OF THE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES. so we will wait till then.

My vote PATTON
