... that the movie/TV people (hollywood) are really in "cohoots" with the government spin propaganda? This october allot of "new" series are coming to your local "boob tube". On of which is Level 9. In the promo's to help launch the series is a person who says, "We don't have to obey the law, just enforce it". They are supposed to be some new department of justice geeks who can do anything they want as long as they get their "man". Now, this got me to wondering: Is this a way for us sheeple err.. people to let the departments like fbi, batf, etc.. get away with murder, ripping up our rights, for the good of society?

I've also noticed that many sitcoms/movies now have a "guns are bad, guns should be banned" messages in them. Is the guberment also paying the networks / movie people to spread messages like they already do with the drug messages?

Just wondering.

I occasionally see the "cops" show. Last night, I noticed the cop really bad mouthing guns as he was arresting some kids who had guns. Also interesting was how he pointed the gun at the kid while he removed the was clearing it.

Yep. Hollywood is full of it. On the Cops thing, I would have asked him why he had one when he asked the kid "why do you need a gun". Luckily, I know more pro-gun cops than anti-gun cops.
 
For Keiller, he pointed the gun at the kid at least twice while clearing it. What was so amazing is how much trouble he had clearing it. In this case, the kids were definitely bad, had both drugs and guns. it was a good stop, but bad show of gun handling.
 
One thing I have learned and try to teach others is that tv is bubblegum for the eyeballs.

I think entertainers should worry about their next show, I don't really want their opinion on who should help run this country. Now the military people behind bush, I think they have good advice on who should help run this country. Everyone gets the right to vote and everyone should be able to speak their opinion. But I really don't think someone who claims to have invented the internet should be president. I don't think he should be vice president. I would like to see his patent for the internet. No one person should take credit for what dozens got started.

There was an episode of 'The Invisible Man' on SciFi a few weeks back that had a couple of relatively pro-gun statements. One scene with a senator about to be murdered expousing his distaste for gun-control laws, then another with the main character of the show saying something to the effect of "...If I got shot, I wouldn't go after the maker of the bullet, I'd go after the person who shot me...".

The show _does_ have frequent poor gun handling unfortunately.....
