I guess I also should not complain about the September 11th bombing because that is in the past also, and all of my wishing that it had never happened is in vain. Should I ever engage in a discussion about what would have made our economy better in 2000? I guess not.<P>The fact is, it is doesn't only make sense for us to talk about things we can't change, but we <I>should</I> talk about things we can't change, espescially if it is in the context of art, music, movies, policies, principle, etc. This is the only way we could ever do things better the next time. It also forces us to think, and not be complacent.</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR>I suppose you could do a better job with the movie then. There is discussing things and then there is beating the dead horse. This discussion is beating the dead horse. If you don't like it, fine, get on with it, don't watch the movies. If you like it just as fine. It doesn't matter because it is a waste of everyone's energy to have a tug-o-war over something that is opinion based. And I am not even going to comment on american political issues that really have nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings movie. Like I said get over it. Leave the dead horse be, its soul has gone to a better place. <BR>
