Rollerball II: Where the buck stops is sometimes where the corpus lies.

Jonathan E.
became “what every executive wanted to be” at the end of Rollerball (1975): bigger than the game. Contrast that post-Vietnam War theology with Leon Panetta’s reminder: “We are a nation of laws not men.” The question is, are we a “nation” any longer?

Rollerball II

Where the buck stops is sometimes where the corpus lies.

Rollerball II

The futility of individual effort: Obamaspeak; banks, insurance companies, ngo’s, “multi-national” Corporations, and State Bars. Strangely, not doctors, teachers or churches.

Jonathan E. in Rollerball (1975, A Film by Norman Jewison), could not be “touched” by the “Executive Council” because Jonathan was representing them
and supposed to demonstrate the futility of individual effort. Down with the State Bar of California, the American Bar Association and the Nevada State Bar.

The government calls it “savings” but it’s actually simply stealing light from the morning to pay the evening. Suppose people spent less money in the afternoon hours; would there be a time adjustment? Misnomers want the revenue.

A new law takes effect on Thursday in Oklahoma — anyone licensed to carry a concealed firearm can choose to carry a weapon out in the open, in a belt or shoulder holster, loaded or unloaded. Five minutes after midnight Thursday, Mr. Hull and his friends — supporters of the Oklahoma Open Carry Association, a gun rights group — will mark the occasion by wearing their unconcealed handguns while dining at Beverly’s, a 24-hour restaurant.
