Well in my book the ages of the folks in the final attack scene are late 50s (2), thirties (2), 21, and the guy driving the getaway boat is in his 90s. (It's his boat. WW2 PT boat veteran with his crab boat.) Of course, I'm just making all this up.

But I think that generation by generation our gubbmint skools are turning our youth against freedom, guns, and the ideals of America, and turning them to socialism and world government.

So if we don't have some defining historical event to change the tide, freedom in America will simply go extinct in the next half century.

That's precisely what is happening. Incrementally, slowly, but surely...Forth of July, fireworks bad, very dangerous, guns bad, men bad, boys bad, America bad...

I think that defining moment will come when we forbid all government employees, officials, politicians, including the alphabet soups to carry weapons while on duty. Time to re-write their contract with us. They have proven themselves to be un-responsible and incapable of handling the authority that comes with their job description. Yes, it's time to change the job descriptions.

I completely agree..And as each year slips by, that event grows more distant, and remote.
