"Past Help" (Yes, That's What's Got Me Into This,...)


Paul Thomas Anderson's Scientology movie, "The Master," is in the chute - with Philip Seymour Hoffman as the L. Ron Hubbard-like all things to all men, and Joaquin Phoenix (an actor who, along with his late brother, River, was raised in The Family sex cult) as the poor schmuck who somehow wandered into his moneyed collectivist nightmare.

I used to have high hopes for this film, but no more: 

With the nomination of Mitt Romney (and the Mormons) to the presidency - coming right after the Obama/Oprah charade - I'm now convinced the Baby Boom has conditioned the American people, if not the Western world, to desire being made fools of, and nothing less than their complete self-destruction will talk them out of it.

No mere movie can affect that. No words are enough. Like a drug addict, they must see it through - to the end.

So be it,...

Everything you need to know about life, you can find in the movies:

The second to last paragraph, imhao, is particularly choice.

Oh well...

I do not see the threat of Romney, but you have the right to vote for whoever (or nobody) if you wish to do so.

I am less concerned of a LDS take over than I am about a weak pandering politician.

How about a weak, pandering politician -- whose main concern seems to be merely getting to be president (like some king of the hill game) -- with an organization behind him/her that appears to have waking dreams of one day controlling the world (or at least the U.S.) and power over everyone living therein (nothing about service, other than the sales pr, just attaining power of some kind)?

This is a non-"denominational" question, freely and equally applied to both canidates by the way.
