The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Go see this film. Magnificent effects and a magnificent adaptation of a magnificent book.

I think C.S. Lewis would have approved.

A politically incorrect scene-- Three of the children meet Father Christmas, and he gives them presents of weapons: a knife for Lucy, a bow and arrows for Susan and a sword for Peter.

"These are tools, not toys," he tells them. "Use them wisely."

Perhaps this bodes well for things to come now that anti-gun Michael Eisner is no longer at Disney's helm...

I too was pleasantly surprised by that scene. Nothing has made me question my Judaism more than seeing Santa as a right jolly old arms dealer.

Or, it is 'conditioning' the children for what is surely to come?
Excellent comment by the way, Scott!
Keep 'em coming David! Seems you've been on quite a 'roll' lately!

Thanks Stan--there are many fine 2A blogs--see the list on the left, for example. And if you want an early 2A Christmas present, be sure to check The Countertop Chronicles, linked on my blogroll--he's doing an Advent Calendar post each day.

You're very knowledgable about Anti-2nd Amendment beatniks.

Atleast we still have good ol' Drew Carey.

Hehe.
