I don't have a lot of time to discuss in detail what I meant, not that it's all that important anyways, but generally I was just generalizing about the comic book industry as a whole (though not everyone in particular). I wasn't even talking about the GN Watchmen in this case. Just the film. But I could have worded that better and more specifically.I'll do that sometimes in informal writing. Mix in general statements with specific statements. It's a bad habit, which I usually do out of writing in a hurry.I assume Hobo, though I could be wrong, you were talking about what I said about my congressmen. Actually I said that sorta jokingly. I got a Senator I don't care much for, but then again the other is a good friend of mine. And a few reps I don't like much but then again, who doesn't? But joking about Congress is old hat. Take Davey Crockett for instance. He'd rather go to Texas than Congress. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I understand the sentiment. If you were talking about something else then just forget all that. If you were talking about the same quote as Umbran, that's just a guess, then it seems pointless to not talk about the very thing the GN was intentioanlly talking about, social and political conditions. After all the work wasn't about Supermen on Mars, but about human and American society and politics.That to me is like saying "review the Iliad, just don't talk about Greek or Trojan society when you do it." Well, Greek and Trojan society, politics, and war is what the thing is about. Without that you don't have a review and all that's left to analyze is military tactics. I personally don't ignore things like that just because others might get upset. Then again it doesn't matter to me personally that you, or anyone else, disagree with my analysis. That's why you have your opinion and I got mine. So I'm not gonna take it personally if you disagree with me. Then again maybe you thought I was violating some forum policy, or close to it, and you were giving me some kinda warning to try and keep me outta trouble on this one. I don't know, but if that was your motivation, then thanks. I appreciate it. If the moderators wanna slap me on this one though, it's okay, it's their forum and I can take it.Well, I hope I covered all the possible bases. But I gotta get back to work now. See ya.But I still hate Congress by the way. Just as a matter of SOP.</blockquote>
