My point is that Compassion is rammed down our throats by TV sci-fi just like Tolerance - -

That is the Totalitarian nature of this genre, they are always shoving PC down out throats .

Science is not about Compassion nor Tolerance,
it is the process of discovery, it is detective work .

You do not find that on TV, no X-FILEs does not count, it advocates pseudoscience - Fox offers the supernatural explanation, Scully offers the Scientific rational one, and she is invariably wrong - -

X-FILE's is poison . It is everything that is wrong with this genre; paranoid, fatalistic, antiAmerican, made in Canada !

Should call this series and all those like it: Oliver Stone Fiction .

I have noticed alot of TV sci-fi revolves around the JFK conspiracy angle . .

POISON !

Marc, how about a one hour TV movie based on The Cold Equations? That would get things hopping.

Very un-PC and shows just how cold the world can be.

There was very little compassion from John Carter, only respect. That respect was reserved for warriors "almost" as good as himself because none were quite as good as he. That stuff written in the late 1800s had nothing in the way of PC getting in the way. It was kinda corny but that was part of it's charm.

I just finished reading a kids series of book. The first one is "Among the Hidden."

I don't know if it would be considered Sci fi or not. The series takes place in an American state in the near future. It revolves around the idea that third children are causing a famine. They are illegal and when found are killed.

A 12 year old boy is tired of hiding in his houde. His parents farm is taken away for big houses. He makes a friend and starts learning about how the laws were put into place. The series follows him over the next few years. The story shows the consequences of liberalism run rampant; eminent domain, vegetarianism, population control, identity cards and a ruling class of government employees who implement the rules, but don't live by them.

Ths series is popular among the 5th-8th graders I know. I would love to see it be made into a movie.
