Word meanings, MI:2
RFK Jr called Glenn Beck a fascist and corporate toadie during the Live Earth concert. Glenn is outspoken as not
buying into the man-made, iminent disaster global warming hysteria. Glenn had Jr on his CNN show and asked him what
the definition of fascism was. Jr responded "the American Heritage dictionary definition is government controlled by
corporate power".
Now the real American Heritage dictionary definition of fascism:
NOUN: 1. often Fascism a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent
socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of
belligerent nationalism and racism. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of
government. 2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
I happened to see Mission Impossible 2 the other day. It is both a great movie and a terrible movie. It's terrible
because of its title. The movie has nothing to do with the television series upon which it is based--it is in fact a
disgrace to connect it to that series. It is nothing like the TV series. It's great because it is an entertaining,
flashy film experience. The music is great, John Woo directs with flair and style. Movies are supposed to be
entertaining and as long as you push the words "mission impossible" from your mind, MI2 is fantastic. We need more
movies like this. This movie was supposed to usher in a new era of action film and in a limited way it has, but not
nearly enough in my opinion. Now, I still want diversity in movies, dramas etc. Take Prince of the City for example.
You don't know anything about this movie but it is an adult, interesting movie, well written and well acted. I suggest
giving it a look sometime when you have 2 hours to kill. It's a perfect example of interesting vs. entertaining. It's
not exciting. We need more MI2.
