The book Éowyn is easily one of my favorite female characters in literature. But I have always been drawn to strong characters in general, especially warrior princess types. They don't exist in the real world, so I'll take what I can get with the few examples in literature, movies and TV. But I agre...

I agree with Impenitent. PJ turned Radagast into a mockery. I am no movie director or published author, but I have always imagined Radagast as a quiet, introspective recluse, attuned to the natural world around him and not dependent on social interaction with man, dwarves or elves. Radagast should b...

Just saw it. Alot of trepidation based on PJ's previous desecration of LOTR, I had no doubt he would simply trample The Hobbit under the arrogance born of his previous success. Sadly, all of my fears were validated, and then trumped. Won't see it again in theaters, and won't purchase it until it is ...

How do we right the ship if we don't do anything but complain about the ship? I admire the idealism. There is no righting the ship. Our system is too convoluted and diffuse to right itself. All nations fall. The US will destroy itself, it needs no real enemy. A variety of factors, including geograp...

Perhaps he ovespent on shorts and tuxedo tops and needs to come up with more money. :D I am a purist, and had no doubt PJ would run hog wild with The Hobbit, considering his abuse of LOTR. Great movies, but not equal to the actual story, though I don't think anyone else would have done a better job ...

Frelga, I am aware of Prim's success, and admire it. I didn't mean to imply that my ideal existence would be a life of liesure, as it certainly wouldn't be. There would be lots of effort involved before the snows flew. As it is, between regular shifts, overtime, housekeeping, and a little bit of soc...

Vision, I imagine staring DEATH in the eye and then poking him in his eye to drive him away for a good long while :blackeye: (I would hope) would tend to minimize the value of entertainment. Most entertainment is the act of living vicariously through someone else. Once faced with events that challen...

Health care costs are a drain upon the society in general, but the money goes to support only a segment of the population. Creating a government subsidized system costs everyone to support some, because it is the health care industry alone the benefits the most. Unless a nation has a negative popula...

I'm curious - would you include education on that list? Not being snarky, genuinely curious. Again, I lean pretty strongly libertarian but often have a hard time reconciling those basic moral ideals with the pragmatic realities of society and it's pretty hard for me to say that we'd in any way be b...

Errors specific to the wording in this law versus my thinking have been rightly taken to task, and I deserve that. The penalty for not participating in this law is weak, with no criminal penalty or high fine, making it eye candy to my eyes. I have always rejected this law according to my personal fe...
