Quote of the Day
This weekend, the family went to see Toy Story 3. It was a decent flick. If you have kids and have had to watch the other movies like me, this one is actually a bit sad. Anyway, today’s quote comes from Barbie:
Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from the threat of force!
Kids should probably be exposed to more ideas like that.

ToyStory 3 had good messages on several levels. I personaly liked the way they handled the certain doom from which they were saved from.
Despicable Me is pretty good as it has a life lesson buried in it that is quite good.
It has been noted that although Hollywood seems to be morally bankrupt, the cartoonists get it.

Its a good quote, but totally wrong. Authority always derives from the threat of force. The only question is who has the force, the people or the politicians?

The end of Toy Story 3 was horrific – they toys get destroyed in an inferno. Briefly: the movie ends with Woody and friends being given to a little girl who already has toys; we see that she lives in a nice house.
No parents are going to be enthusiastic about old toys; most kids have too many toys already. A cardboard box of old toys will get trashed, no question. From the movie, we see that trash is burned in their town.
