   I've made this statement in the past, and I stick by it. It's a crying   
   shame that these people, often very bringt people, waste their energy on   
   such pointless triviality. You feel that if the brain power and budget   
   that goes on sci-fi nerdom was to be invested in medical research,   
   mankind would be better off.   
      
   Alfie's post explaining all my SW nitpicks?....all that time and effort   
   invested in explaining away plot holes in a roapy bit of fiction, if   
   they had spent that time picking up litter of planing seeds?.....   
   Imagine the world we would live in.   
      
   Please people, investigate the human condition instead, go make babies,   
   don't go investing your whole life in something that doesn't even   
   exist.....

    Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.   
    If you ask me what proof I have for these words,   
    I say it is because I am the punishment of God.   
    If you had not committed great sins,   
    God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
