Archimedes Plutonium - 21 Jun 2004 09:58 GMT

I was asked for my opinion of the new movie Fahrenheit 9/11. I have not
seen it. But my reaction is that the Republicans have a constant
criticism of Democrats via radio with their droning of Conservative
views. Democrats seem to be unable to compete via radio. So I think this
film offers the Democrats a way to compete. And maybe that was the way
things were moving that the philosophy of Republicans is to hammer their
idealogy via radio to drivers (me, I only want to hear real news on the
radio and no talk show or music). And the Democrats perhaps have found a
niche of Films. So perhaps Republicans can preach on radio and Democrats
can preach on Films.

Maybe that is what Conservatism channel was fated to settle into of
radio transmission which is not a good medium for Democrats and their
liberal viewpoints but that Film would be their medium of expression.

What would be interesting to measure how popular the film Fahrenheit
becomes and whether some connection to the votes come November. Films
can arouse senses and emotions more strong than can talk on radio
because you have not only thoughts but the pictorial graphics to
remember such as Mr. Bush playing golf whilst USA soldiers are sweating
in 120 degrees. Radio does not have graphic images.

So, is it natural that Conservative Republicans find and end up with
Radio and that liberal Democrats find and end up with filmmaking. Are
the Republicans so much less talented in art that they flock around
radios and the Democrats more talented in art that they produce films
for upcoming elections.

I did see the film Wag the Dog, only the sitting president was a
Democrat.

But not a bad idea. Have the Republicans waste their money on radio
yakkity yack and have the Democrats spend millions on comedy films.

Nice to know that both Republicans and Democrats are helping the arts.

There's a group of execution burials at Sutton Hoo, some beheadings, the
placement of the heads in the graves doesn't appear to have any pattern.
Radio carbon couldn't date them accurately, but they might be as early
as AD 640.
