The board seems to be getting back into its own geer, but. . .one more thing to add for feedback.
A couple of peers recently compared the terrorists to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. point a) Lucas has said that the Ewoks represented the Viet Cong and stormtroopers the U.S. troops being defeated. point b) SDI was nicknames Star Wars appropriately because it was designed by an evil government to maintain control of the world.
This comparison was presented to me to make sure I "understand" it as a silly idealistic Star War fan. I have failed to come up with a good counter-response to this perspective. Any help would be appreciated.
