    Oliver Stone quote

    Full disclosure: I am decidedly not a fan of Oliver Stone. But....
    He wanted to make a documentary about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, much like his documentary on Castro. Mahmoud declined saying that even though Stone was part of the 'opposition' in the US, that he was still part of the Great Satan.
    Stone's response:
    "I have been called a lot of things, but never a great satan. I wish the Iranian people well, and only hope their experience with an inept, rigid ideologue president goes better than ours.

    Sometimes you've gotta leave the kibble out where the slow dogs can get some....
    ... Roy Blount, Jr.

    I saw that on the tv news last night, too. Funny!
    There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.
