V for vapid and vile

The new movie "V for Vendetta" qualifies as only mediocre entertainment, but offers a brilliant illustration of today's warped leftist mindset.

The film unequivocally glorifies a terrorist bomber and portrays his ultimate triumph with the cataclysmic destruction of the Houses of Parliament in London.

The Wachowski brothers, who previously made the "Matrix" films, feel such hatred for the film's fictional government — described as both conservative and Christian, persecuting Muslims and gays — that they treat V's anti-government mayhem as heroic.

"Blowing up a building can change the world," V proudly declares, while his police adversary discovers that previous terrorist outrages were actually staged by the government in order to seize more power.

Regarding this irresponsible, poisonously pro-terrorist fantasy, USA TODAY fatuously declares that "Vendetta examines the balance between national security and personal freedom" — as if its comic book romanticization of leftist lunacy constituted serious intellectual inquiry.

"V" for Vile, Vacuous, Venal and Vapid.

From explosives and demolition skills....

Sensor Trigger: Any kind of security sensor can be used to create a sensor trigger. Common choices are beam sensors ("invisible laser tripwire"), pressure sensors (sometimes triggered by lowering pressure), ultrasonic sensors (triggered simply by motion), and electric circuit sensors (triggered by breaking the circuit by moving or opening something, or by cutting the wire). Uncommon types include barometric, temperature, photosensitive, and hydrosensitive sensors.
