Well, I hardly consider the dialogues of Plato and Aristotle "Made up stuff." Even if you want to characterize mythology as "Made up stuff" you'd be surprised how much it has influenced western civilization.

I did in fact see full Metal Jacket and thought it a great film. I enjoy movies quite a bit but prefer to read because my feeble female mind is far superior in creating the characters and the scenes than most Hollywood film makers can rival.

For the record...I did see Harry Potter with my hubby yesterday and thought that it was wonderful. My nephew is too young now but I'll collect the books for him and give them to him when he's old enough for us to read them together.

As for my beliefs, I have a dog-eared copy of Hamilton sitting on my end table at home. MarkWar, however, thinks anything you can't see by looking out the window is for children. You wouldn't agree with that, would you?
