Israel included. So am I a closet Jew-hater now too?

Even though he's not my favorite (2nd), no honest man can deny that Williams nearly single-handedly redefined film composing in his own image. And all for the better. Before Williams, film composers were seen as important parts of the film crew, but essentially just that.... crew. Williams made film composers potential stars in their own right. I'd also debate half of that list. Where's James Howard? James Horner? Ennio Moricone? Basil Poledouris?

He's been a huge lefty all his life.

I'd rather have 10 VSTOL carriers in the sub 20K ton range than a single 100K nuclear supercarrier that takes 7 years and $15 billion to build, and cripples the battle group if lost in combat.

Lockheed can make more of them. And it works on a much lower budget than the GoldenHawk ($1 to the previous poster that coined the term!) The Pentagon, like the rest of us, is going to have to learn to live on a budget. And it's time to start saying "Bye" to defense contractors that see taxpayers as a golden goose.

We're doing what Germany did in WWII: produce high tech in low numbers. Our weapons shouldn't be dirt simple, but they should be cheap enough to build in mass quantities. We can't afford to lose a single carrier because they take so long to build.

Seriously? Isn't that one of the things that makes us conservative? If you want to blame someone for US tax dollars going to his charities, don't blame him. All he can do is ask. Blame your government. They're the ones giving.

Kennedy is what every other Libertarian is: a liberal that doesn't like paying taxes.

If you want a quota system, they'll love you over at Daily Kos. In fact, with your "hateful wing" stuff, you'd probably be more comfortable over there anyway.

He had Daredevil as an anti-nuclear advocate in the 80's. Miller was very much part of that anti-right wave back then. But even some leftists can change. Witness George Orwell's repudiation of the Soviet Union after he saw the results of the purges. By Miller's own admission, what changed him... his Road to Damascus moment... was 9-11. He's a different man than he was in his youth.

I've never understood this push from some conservatives to lengthen the time kids spend in an environment that they absolutely loathe.
