People seem to either scoff and take it too lightly, or else think they are all powerful. <BR/><BR/>But basically its a finishing school for for the most elite of the Eastern Seaboard establishment WASPs. Its a little more diverse now, I understand. <BR/><BR/>Its a similar dynamic to the mafia but a magnitude more sophisticated and restrained. <BR/><BR/>Its a weird thing though how boring <BR/>yet powerful they are. <BR/><BR/>I try to read the weekly standard and Foreign affairs and its hard. That is dry stuff, but there are a lot of powerful people behind those publications.<BR/><BR/>The movie is not really boring, its I would say a bit more cerebral than the average espionage flick.Ted Heistmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945887087252739230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1167033136532066782006-12-24T23:52:00.000-08:002006-12-24T23:52:00.000-08:00steve sailer, you're a loser and your life must re...steve sailer, you're a loser and your life must really suck for you to spend countless hours on this blog that hardly anyone cares about, reads, or actually takes seriously. quite a pitiful person you are, and you know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1166954588742180862006-12-24T02:03:00.000-08:002006-12-24T02:03:00.000-08:00That's a great line.

Considering that the last Presidential election was between 2 Skull and Bones men just two years apart at Yale, maybe it's still true.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing it.Steve Sailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920109042402850214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1166899435598762542006-12-23T10:43:00.000-08:002006-12-23T10:43:00.000-08:00Maybe your testosterone level went up from winning...Maybe your testosterone level went up from winning the duel with Gladwell and now you are more in tune with Hunter. That happens you know!<BR/><BR/>I liked the movie quite a bit and It was contained a good take on the Skull and Bones. <BR/><BR/>I liked the line with the mafia Guy saying, "We have our families and the Church, Blacks, Jews , Irish have this and that etc. etc. What do you guys have?" <BR/><BR/>Wison came back: "We have the United States of America. The rest of you are just visiting."<BR/><BR/>I think that really captures the mindset.Ted Heistmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945887087252739230noreply@blogger.com
