... the next Hollywood war epic coming soon to a theater near you will surely miss. I dont wnow if you've heard about it yet but a production is in the works called "Pearl Harbor". Word is the director is planning to show the US putting up a rather spirited and more or less successful defense. When it was pointed out to him that the battle was one of the US's more thorough and profound defeats he is reported to have said something to the effect that "To hell with historical accuracy. It's my movie and this time we win!"I can't wait. Want me to preorder a ticket for you?
But back to the more profound for a moment. Yes, the ability to systematically inflict pain and suffering is a most remarkable aspect of the human species. History has proven time and time again that civilization is a veneer on human existence which is tissue paper thin. It take precious little to disrupt it. And the fall into chaos and behaviors that are otherwise unimaginable is remarkably rapid.
