    Yet another thing that is beyond our willfully ignorant American Republican’s comprehension.

    Adults cooperate with others who are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. Babies (and largely seniors past 70 as we become very similar to our sunrise at the sunset of life) kick and scream demanding to get their way the way they want it.

    I’m a 40 year old manchild who collects movie props and even I know that.

        The one that started it all.

        In 1999 Blockbuster video had a contest, giving away 1 full size episode 1 Yoda made by Industrial light and magic in every state. I didn’t know about the contest until the last day, put in my entry, and he’s been looking over my room, now office, ever since, keeping me contemplative ever since.

        Either that or a trap used in Ghostbusters 2 that I had signed by Dan Aykroyd. But probably Yoda.

      Please don’t include all seniors. While I can’t speak for all seniors, I am very much from a generation that took to the streets fighting against social injustice. PLEASE don’t generation shame/blame. It’s just another divide and conquer tactic.
