Anybody seen the movie the postman?
Well I just woke up next to a skeleton and being here and now I will venture to bring not only the mail but one of the basic foundations of unity in our country, I will not carry our flag upside down in destress beacuse I am alive and well to carry on through wind and storm and dark and night.

And I'm asking for postmasters to step forward to help with the message.

5.  I think now it's the only way we will take back
What has been taken away, as I watch my garden I see that it is from within that the changes take place, yes I tend to it with water and fertilizer,I guess i'm part of the miracle.

We need to realise that we are capable of making change. peace

2. I have and frankly it was one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen next
to Waterworld.

But yes, you are correct. We need to carry the message of Democracy to a nation that is out of touch and being dominated by those using threats and distortion to remain in power. The best way to this however is just like the movie, infiltrate and resurrect change from within. It is imperative we take back the House, the Senate, and in 2008, the presidency.

3. The novel was good. I didn't see the movie. But I think Costner is a
major babe, so I like everything I have seen him in (didn't see Waterworld).

4. There's a book ? Slap me silly !!! I must read it. Books tend to far
surpass the movie adaptations in every way. You did yourself a favor by skipping Waterworld (they recycle urine to drink it...ewwww). As for Kevin Costner being a babe...not in my opinion, but then again he is handsome and I wouldn't mind looking that good when I get that old.

6. So, does this mean Kevin Costner is now our prophet?
:evilgrin: sorry--couldn't resist..

And, yes, I agree with the OP's premise... We have a message to deliver and a nation to re-educate.

8. Movie - bad
Book - good. Very good, especially, on how the everyday support we get from our common activities, including good government, is worth preserving and fighting for. And how selfish crazies of every sort are a danger.
