Hi SR - the quotation was from The Matrix, a blockbuster sci-fi movie. The kids and I have watched it so many times I have the dialogue half-memorized. CB says check it out. I went through great lengths a few days ago to demonstrate that there was some validity to the Kuwaiti-incubator-baby story, but it was probably exaggerated. My guess, knowing human nature, is that it was exaggerated, not because of evil intentions, but because humankind is gullible, expecially when emotionally overwrought. I believe that the assertion that the Kuwaiti-incubator-baby story was a total fabrication derives from the same impulse that causes people to keep posting that danged former Marine colonel that claimed that he was a tool for capitalist oppression. Ray Duray liked that one a lot. Hope you were not one of the people who like it, if so, sorry if I have offended you. Everybody is entitled to their opinions, but what's important is to see how their opinions mesh with reality. Some worldviews are entitled to more respect than some others, based on their track records.
