And I couldn't help but notice the parallel in the
movie "Independence Day" when the president makes his
let's go get 'em speech. Well, plagiarism is an ancient
art, why should Hollywood blanch at it? Generally the
closer to the original the better, IMHO.

BTW (off topic), I looked forward to Independence Day
because I wanted to see the White House get nuked, and
it disappointed me (in that regard) because the president
was a brave man, honorable, family man,with the courage of
his convictions. Such is fiction <Very Big Sigh>. Took
all the pleasure out of the blow-up. Prince
Hal was a little more true to the man, I think.
Also French casualties afterward outnumbered the English
by hundreds to one if memory serves me correctly. I
often cite Agincourt as an example for those who think technology
is irrelevant. I don't think the French thought the longbow
was irrelevant ...

Sorry, don't know what got me going on like this ...
