"If I had a gun and a 12-year-old kid broke into this house, I would kill him. You have no right to come into my home. I would empty the until you were dead." Quentin Tarantino

I picked the above quote up from one of the many reviews of the new controversial movie by the Director of Pulp Fiction. Like most Tarantino movies, Inglorious Basterds glorifies vengeance and violence to an extreme heretofore unknown to Hollywood. Violence aside, the movie is controversial by turning the tables having the JEWS running the horror show rather than the NAZIS.
Recently having become almost as wise as I am old, I have come to understand that violence is the true evil in the human condition. Not only the act, but promoting vengeance, capital punishment, corporeal punishment, guns and war.
As such, to be consistent I have to give a kick in the head to this scumball director Quentin Tarantino. Great bloody fun to be sure, but it just makes the world a little worse than before.
War of course is the greatest of all evils. I experienced a day or two of it long ago. It not only makes murder, mass murder and serial killing legal, but/ also glorious, honorable and heroic.
Well, depending on which ox you happen to be riding into it upon.
