Sad to say,judging from the "Article",the author probably wouldn't even try to open her mind to ANY criticism of her sad, little, ignorant opinions!
IMO,best to express our opinions of the article here,and save the postage costs involved...............Ms C Devine-Molin can keep her rather flawed views!
Ignorance is best ignored,anyway!Last edited by Bagpuss; 02 June 2004, 03:00 AM.The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

Originally posted by ShadowMaatWell, I've always thought there was too much political BS of any stripe on Stargate, anyway.
I'm sure the press coverage will end up doing the show more good than harm. "Even bad press is good press." *rolls eyes*
I was disappointed the first time I saw "Politics", that Kinsey was so evil. I'd thought his stance was interesting and that the show could've explored the political ramifications of the Stargate program, especially regarding the secrecy, which (as many a thread here has witnessed) could lead to some intelligent debate.
And, of course, some silly debate (also as many a thread has witnessed...)
But, I digress...
The show *didn't* go that way, and I can live with that.
But the irony is, that for all these years, they've chosen to address mainly the "safer" political issues, like "don't lock your women in a yurt" and "don't steal from indigenous populations"--but they've pointedly shied away from partisan politics, by twisting the political issues into ones of personal character and keeping parties well out of the picture.
But they still catch flack. And not well-aimed flack at that.
(...Do yurts lock?)"Frankly, we're not surprised when she starts pulling large bombs from skin-tight catsuits..."
"Not only can Josette Simon really, really act, she gets the show's best introduction - she rescues Avon, announces he's the most beautiful man she's ever seen, then explains the only other man she's seen is her father, whose surname is, blissfully, Mellonby."
"This is a future where the women are beautiful, the men are ugly, and the only drink is creme de menthe."

It was apparently a veiled reference, albeit from the typical liberal

selling out his nation for contracts with big-business (Halliburton).
Yeah, yeah they'll say I'm reading things into the episode that
weren't there, but given the overall context of the dialog, I think
my impressions are right on target. Frankly, I resent these types of
manipulations, which clearly should not have been incorporated into a
popular TV series during an election year. But again, these liberal
activists in the entertainment field think that it's their right to
engage in improprieties when they're taking potshots at
conservatives.

I've already posed the Q in the "20 q's for Jack"thread and that was the answer! LOL! Go watch the episode and see if you spot it!
Still can't get the point of that article,btw!
She's onto a loser if she thinks her POV will change anything in RL Politics!
I mean,does she think Stargate SG-1 REALLY holds any sway in tilting Voter opinion?
*Imagines masses of Republican voters hiding out at "Safe Houses" so they can watch Stargate SG-1 if Bush wins again ! * LOL!!The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:
