Star Trek: TNG was pretty cheesey, no?

Having seen The Dark Knight twice now (it’s a rarity for me to see the same movie twice, this one’s really good though so I happily indulged) it got me thinking about the nature of human conflict.
On the one hand, we have good versus evil, picking sides is easy in this one, we pick the good side – despite the fact many of us are more similar to the bad guy. We also have two men with (presumably) conflicts in their own hearts and minds. Whom do we side with when we take motivation into account? The one who doesn’t do evil, but that one also stands for the continuation of an establishment that’s been proven corrupt. He’s supporting a system that’s known to have deep faults. The one who is evil by every standard we can measure is like a plague that starts off killing the most diseased parts of society first, then works its way up to overthrow the established order completely. The bad guy is more successful at killing badness than the good guy is.
Anyhoo, I’m not really going anywhere with this, but it made me think of Sherlock Holmes vs. Professor Moriarty.
And I think it would be kind of cool to have my own Moriarty. Maybe not the unfathomably brainy type adversary (I don’t want to be overmatched now) but someone more than my intellectual equal who was trying to undermine me because of my shortcomings. That would be a fun challenge!
But then, hubrus is usually the end of such people and I certainly wouldn’t want that.

I still don’t understand what Cillian Murphy was doing there.
I just don’t get it.
Don’t forget!

“Please don’t hunt the innocent puppies, please sir.”
Hunting puppies doesn’t even seem like much of a sport, really. I mean, hunting a grown dog is sporting and all, but only if it knows its being hunted. Hunting any social animal that isn’t scared of people isn’t a sport, come to think of it.
Oh, I think I might have misunderstood the intent of the domain. As long as its not cute animals, I guess we’re okay with the domain.
Minivan airbrush art
9:46 am
Why are there no sites dedicated to minivan airbrush art?
I grew up in Mississauga, which had a rich tradition of painting your parents’ minivan with tasteless airbrushed art. I think now though Mississauga has lost that tradition and now it’s become your standard suburb. It used to be that I could tell a Mississaugian by his 70’s style Pittsburgh Pirates hat and airbrushed minivan. No more.
bad public transit + lower housing costs = necessity of car ownership + discretionary income spent on minivan airbrush art
It was always the metalhead kids who had them too, like a complete lack of taste in music meant you just had to have some cheesey art of a wolf, or a sorcerer and dragon or something.
