I suppose it wouldn't take too much imagination to make some see where this country could be headed in this series. Maybe not the "hunger games" part(?) but certain "zones" where you stay and don't stray from. Add in some of the ecowacko wildlife corridors and bio-zones plus centralized housing, a fabulous capital where the elites dine on caviar and look down on the "not super sophisticated" etc, and who knows.

That requires women to return home and teach their children morality. Don’t see that happening any time soon.

They’re too busy with their careers and other priorities in life.

on a different note...I saw Fury this weekend. Loved it.

America needs more real people and real leaders to set out examples of the future we face and the morality that we need to embrace. We've got enough fictional morality as it is.

Catching Fire is a great set up for Mockingjay and shows the decadence, abuse and the Obama stand-in President Snowe as he subjugates and exploits his citizens (subjects). Mockingjay is the rebellion that follows and the beginning of the war against the tyrant. There are easy parallels and President Snowe could well be Obama after a couple more years of Obama evolving into an Emperor.

Saw the flick this weekend. Knowing what’s coming in the finale, IF the book is followed, this was a pretty good effort to prepare for the conclusion. Acting was surprisingly good...even Jennifer.
