The photo on the left are supporters in favor of the Honduran Constitution and a nation of laws, not men. The one on the right are the fanatics in favor of Mel Zelaya.

Yes, it was based on that comic but my understanding is that the guys who wrote the Matrix also wrote the "screenplay" for V for Vendetta to be released as a film. @klaos,

Seems like Government/Political Culture would have to drastically change for it to head in the Christian conservative police state depicted in V. The attitude towards sex/reproduction/family seems already to be straight out of Brave New World. Plus the cameras from 1984. From BNW: Mustapha Mond leaned forward, shook a finger at them. "Just try to realize it," he said, and his voice sent a strange thrill quivering along their diaphragms. "Try to realize what it was like to have a viviparous mother." That smutty word again. But none of them dreamed, this time, of smiling. "Try to imagine what 'living with one's family' meant." They tried; but obviously without the smallest success. "And do you know what a 'home' was?" They shook their heads. V for Vendetta was an adaptation of a comic written by Alan Moore, nothing to do w/The Matrix.

“Try to imagine what ‘living with one’s family’ meant.”

They tried; but obviously without the smallest success.

“And do you know what a ‘home’ was?”

They shook their heads.

Usually when they are writing about 'violent crime' they are using *code word* for you know what. I think London, in my experience, is pretty violent, but mostly it was because of very very drunk men who were perhaps repressed with stiff upper lips when not drunk . . . but, boy, do they get aggressive after the 14th pint. @ptah – indeed.

You could well be right if what you're saying is you agree with the Daily Mail's view of the UK. My experience tells me to look for the other angle. I have now been programmed to believe that almost everything we see in the media is propoganda and spin. In fact, I've been doing an experiment over recent years which is to take what the msm say and apply the opposite. Guess what? The opposite is nearly always the reality. I think maybe you live in a more violent/crime ridden part of the country which may well be equal to the US or South Africa in its crime rate. I don't know which one of us is right, I just know that my scepticism tends to meet up with reality at some point. Anyway, I don't wish to offend you and as I say you may be right. @Mike2liverpool,

That's not good in the case it does grow more deadly. @Mike2liverpool – the swine flu is progressing almost in a mirror image to the 1918 flu; this started out infecting only a few people in US in spring time (unusual for a new flu to emerge in spring), killed only a handful of people, but notably the victims were mostly in their 30′s and 40s . . . then the flu kind of disappeared/stayed mild until August when the number of cases started to leap again and by September it was no longer so mild and had turned more deadly (the mortality rate was over 10%); something like 50% of the world’s population got it

It was a .44 magnum. But, in my experience, London was far more violent than LA. @Mike2liverpool – I was held up at gunpoint once in LA. It was a .44 magnum.
