Re: Picture of the week

***That was some picture, Victor. And today, I was reading the conspiracy theories in the paper, the one where the government is brain washing him in secret and releasing touched up pictures as part of the PR campaign. What a botched up mess! This whole issue has been nothing but political from day 1. If any other kid was being held against the wishes of the father, the police would have been there that afternoon taking the kid away.

I see your point. However, we ROUTINELY take children from their parents when we have reason to be concerned about their wellbeing - let us not forget this.

***Reno's legacy, Waco and Elian, and Clinton's? Naw, we dont need to go there.

No. Not without full armor plus chemical suit.

***BTW: Have you seen Jakob the Liar? You might enjoy it. Robin William's continues to impress me as having tremendous talent. It's the story of the plight of a community of Polish Jews trying to survive in their German created ghetto and maintain their hope and sanity. I felt it was reasonably realistic and avoided (almost entirely), the typical Hollywood ending.

My wife is too sensitive to the concentration camps/ghetto subject, so I would not feel comfortable forcing that on her. I guess my chances of seeing that movie are not too great. So I will have to take your word for it. I suspect that might affect my view of Williams unfairly - I see him as quite capable of something he had not done yet. I have not seen him in any roles that required tremendous depth of character study, and perhaps that one could be one of them. But I certainly do not put him in the same category as most Hollywood clowns - the Fords, the Costners, the Leonardos. He is one intelligent individual. Unfortunately many good actors never get the roles they deserve. Let's hope the fate will be more kind to Robin.
