They should stick to what they are good at–blatantly ripping off the works of William Gibson.

This is rather underwhelming. In NBA Jam Bill Clinton was a playable character. Ever dunk on our 42nd president?

I have.

I'm not entirely sure what your are attempting to convey here. It was never my contention that the Nazi's were the only monsters of the 20th century.

My post was merely to illustrate a gross disparity in our modern iconography. I would not eat at restaurant displaying the hammer and sickle for the same reason that I would not eat at restaurant with a swastika on the wall: they both represent barbaric, authoritarian regimes based on destructive ideologies antithetical to natural law.

Unfortunately, owing to the propaganda you have mentioned, most people still don't feel a sense of revulsion when they see the hammer and sickle.

". . . are riding on the back of what basically amounts to world ignorance about the entire nightmare of the Communist Revolutions worldwide."

The fact that most people don't even have the faintest idea of what these communist regimes wrought upon their victims is absolutely disgusting.

Recently, I was walking past an open air restaurant near a college campus when I noticed that the decor included numerous images of the Soviet hammer and sickle. The fact that such images failed to elicit the same moral outrage from the restaurant's patrons as would a swastika made me feel ill.

"Nobody can accept the principle that an infinite value can be placed on an individual life."

Having taken a course in Cost-Benefit Analysis, I've learned firsthand that explaining this simple fact to a liberal is nigh impossible.

Sadly, this is probably accurate.

One of the silliest aspects of that show was that the writers named several characters after famous philosophers, yet they never really manifested the views of their namesakes.

I've always hated Ellen Page. Up until now, my disdain for her has been admittedly irrational.

It feels good to be vindicated.
