Interview in a nut-shell:
Hannity - "Senators Obama and Biden are shitheads... do you agree?"
Palin - "Well, I'd just like to say that the American people need to know that jobs are created when money is returned to their pocketbooks, and so then businesses can be establish in order to continue the development of America's journey that is taking us into a new millenium where we can finally control Wall Street corruption, but not with big government, with good legislation and with people who aren't Washington insiders that don't have good-old-boys watching over their shoulders, just like in Alaska where we give you money back because oil prices are so high that..."

This would be more effective if they used the current Mac UI; not the windows and alerts from before Mac OSX.

Dude, this is so last millenium.

Hard to separate the man from the animal, isn't it? Every idealist wants it so. Way back when I was in school, I was debating one of my professor's stance that both sexes are fully capable soldiers and should be allowed in battle as equals. My answer was unpopular with my classmates, as I'm sure it will continue to offend. I said, "aren't you leaving out the 3 million years of evolution to sexual dimorphism and male aggression? Women nurture, men fight and woe to the society that gets it backwards."

I have not read the essay you quoted, though I like the idea of a modern rhetorical dialog. I am actually a trained Classicist and a biological anthropology master's student. From both these fields arises the only conclusion worth discussing: namely, and I quote the title of a questionable book "War is a force that gives us meaning." For better or worse, it is, as your quote describes, the captain of human selection, aside from microbial flashes in the pan every millenium or so. Our species is defined by how well our ancestors fought one another in competition over resources: only the badass have survived. The badassness I'm talking about is not only evident in our physical forms (skeleto-muscular and cognitive forms), but is also present in the very threads that weave we individuals into our cultures and our cultures into societies. I embrace the idea of a cultural revolution against these tendencies, but without basing such a revolution in the above premise, the cause is as doomed as all attempts have ever been.

Distorting historical facts is low, I'm disappointed in Wilcox.

Sounds like you must have read Will and Ariel Durant's essay "The Lessons of History" that accompanies their 10 volume work "The History of Civilization." The short essay should be required reading for every school kid.
From Chapter 11, History and War (presented as a debate between general and philospher)

I agree, the * vintage tag is inappropriate for this video, *ancient, however is a far better tag.

born in '82 class of 2000...the last class of the ancient Millenium that envelops your heyday.

This isn't a dupe, but when I saw this on BB, I considered sifting it until I saw this vid http://www.videosift.com/video/Lego-Millenium-Falcon-Stop-Motion-Animation-of-Construction, which seemed similar but flashier. Room for both, but if you liked this one, I think you will love the other.

@blankfist: make digital backups of those original tapes!

I remember seeing the midnight opening of this, then after the movie driving home in my clunky nissan wagon, weaving and swerving over all 6 lanes of the empty freeway pretending i was piloting the Millenium Falcon! Glorious!

gah!!! learn what a scientific theory is, please!!! read the good post above. learn it! creationism should be thaught in school when it has gone through every step that real science has to before it is acknowledge (which it cant). sigh. america in 2007, believing this? you had people on the moon in the last millenium!! stay ahead as the coolest science country on the planet isntead of stepping way back into a religious infused state of denial and misguided fundamentalism.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

BrknPhoenix says: The whole concept of marriage is a caring committed relationship between two people.

Some in the arab world, Utah and dead people in milleniums of history would disagreee.

status quo in your country for the last 100 years != humanity's natural law.

Couple o' favs.

"that's how they've been living for centuries and centuries"
Yet another dead culture clinging to the distant past. Hey guys, maybe it's time to, you know, move on and Evolve with the rest of human civilization? Your way of life died out half a millenium ago.
