[Killdozer]

That’s one of my favorite movies from way back.

Pro Tip: Don’t try to hide in the corrugated pipe section.

I saw the work killdozer and thought the article was going to be about Rachel Corrie. I guess I’ll read the article now.

From thousands of miles and twenty years away it is impossible for me to know exactly what happened.

It appears he had disagreements with some in the town and took it too far.

Theodore Sturgeon wrote two great episodes of the original Star Trek. They were “Shore Leave” and “Amok Time”. He’s also wrote the line for Spock “Live Long and Prosper”. Great writer!
