@Slide Rule

Thanks for reminding me about Brazil. It is one of those movies I wanted to see,but somehow never got around to it.

Found it playing on 4 different channels on my ROKU,and every damn one of them wanted to charge me $4.99 to watch it.

I can literally watch thousands of movies for free on my ROKU,and some goobers actually thinks I am going to pay 5 bucks to watch one that isn't even very popular?

I have it on CD.

Some quotes from signs in the movie.
“Brazil” Movie
Suspicion breeds confidence.
Happiness, we are all in it together.
This is information retrieval, not information dispersement.
Mind that parcel. Eagle eyes can save a life.
Trust in haste. Regret at leisure.
Information, the key to prosperity.
Don’t suspect a friend. Report them.

You get a good appreciation of bureaucracy watching it.

There seems to be hardly any blacks in in the MLB, hence their reluctance to change their acronym to NBL.

This is patently untrue as that epitome of truth and bigotry, Joe Biden, told us who owns 7-11's in this famous quote.

You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking," Biden said.

@corbe

Think about what a BRILLIANT idea...a major league where Caucasians are not eligible. Barack Obama would sign off on it!

Talk about a marketing draw...interleague play...World Series Best of Seven.

I wonder how talented a 'White-Only' League would fare, given where today's talent originates (Latin America)

Used to have these debates on Usenet forums in the late 90's.

At that time Hispanics comprised bout 20% major league team rosters. Today, it has to be near 50%!

For years I have been hording cash here and there for any emergency.
Since Biden it is worth half as much. In fact saving cash was kind of silly.
I should have just spent it all at the time on durable goods.
