Hmmm. How did the "FBI's" computer system become outdated? Did Bush do that in his first few months in office? That would have been a pretty impressive feat. Do you think that the problem COULD have something to do with the slug who was president for the previous eight years? You know, when all our intel was cut to hell. You may want to think about that when referring to YOU KNOW WHAT.

Actually Komoto....
I was referring to America's history of not utilizing the latest technology in key information-gathering areas...
>> ie intelligence, voting etc etc....
So....
I was not blaming a specific administration as you implied....
That the Bush "Season of Hope" man has given the FBI et al a technological overhauL is a very good thing....
but I do wonder why a standardized voting system wasn't introduced before this latest election....
Surely it's crossed your mind....
even once....

I bet, the money I spent is worth it. I do agree that a part of the movie(wolves) is ridiculous. But then since there is no 100% man and woman, it doesn't make any difference with the movie. After watching the movie, I thought it to myself that what if there would be such tragic thing in our life, what if you were one among the people, what would you do then? In this movie, be it environmental, political or social....the visual and sound effects are speechless.
