my comment:

While I am glad to hear that those Minnesotan police officers were fired and at least one charged with committing a crime, they are only a symptom of this scourge. To get to its source, examine the superiors of these individuals in their local station, Minnesotan lawmakers and academy methods of screening and training cadets. My hypothesis is that self-control, martial arts and decision making skills are not properly taught or absorbed. Judging by all the recent examples, this hypothesis can be applied to most of the U.S.  Prejudice is part of it but the major problem is giving the power of a badge and a gun to individuals who should not be put in that position.

My Favorite Movies



My favorite movies are mostly deep, dark, fantasies and my reasons are not as erudite as Dan's. In no particular order some of my favorites are: Wuthering Heights (1939), Rebecca (1940), Jane Eyre (1943), The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) Rear Window (1954), Seven Samurai (1954), Vertigo (1958), North By Northwest (1959), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Blade Runner (1982), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Fifth Element (1997), The Matrix (1999). I am leaving off any 21st century movies deliberately as I still need time to mull them over.
