War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing....

Well it's not like anyone cares or will listen, but here's my opinion on the Syria situation.

My opinion pretty much echos the great and amazing US Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders.  To paraphrase what he said, "Assad gassing his own citizens is a tragedy and violation of international law, but, I need to know what the pressing US interest is for getting involved in the long Syrian civil war."

Amen, Senator.

From what I've seen, I believe Assad did use chemical weapons on his own civilians.  I also believe that is terribly terribly wrong.  I also dont know why the US would do anything militarily about it.

I would prefer we go with sanctions or diplomacy or something else.  Yes, it IS offensive, but it's an internal issue.  It's not like the First Gulf War, when a sovereign nation was invaded by another.  Nor is it like Afghanistan, whose government, the Taliban, was harboring the perpetrators of an attack on another nation.  This smacks just too much of Bushie's attack into Iraq: a place we, as a country, dont need to be.  It's internal, we dont need getting involved.

I know, I know, in Libya, we did limited air strikes and helped overthrow a tyrant.  But in that case, the rebellion was well on it's way to winning, we helped it along.  I dont see this proposed attack as helping a rebellion, I see it as retribution for the use of chemical weapons.  And I dont think we, as a country, need to be doling out retribution on countries for things they do internally (pot calling kettle black, and all that).

If Assad had used chemical weapons on say Israel, or Lebanon, or Turkey, or Iraq, well then that would be a different story, and I think I'd be supporting this action a bit more.  But as it stands now, I'm not really in favor of doing this.

AND, having said all, I have this to say to all the people out there who shout: The parties are no different they're both the same.

Remember this, when Bushie was taking us into Iraq, ALL the Republicans in Congress were in lockstep behind him.  And anyone, ANYONE, who breathed a word of any kind against going to, was called unpatriotic, unAmerican, told they were scum and should leave the country if they didn't like it (usually by the Republican politicians and their media propaganda wing (Faux News).

Compare that to this time.  You can see in THIS NEWSPAPER ARTICLE where the Senators stand on this issue. There are 11 Democratic Senators on board (in addition to 9 Republicans) but there are 5 Democratic Senators leaning no, and the rest are undecided.  In the House, you've already got 15 Democratic members against supporting it and only 9 currently supporting it.

My point being, bear in mind, under a Republican president, the whole entire party is for the war and if you're not you're un-American, but under a Democratic president, it's party is split and no one is being called unAmerican for their opinions.  That, my friends, is one glaring example of how the parties are different: Republicans are 'you're with us or you're against us'! and the Democrats are "let's think this through and everyone's entitled to their own opinion."

And this is just one case where it's like this.  Think marriage equality, or abortion, or voting rights, or any other myriad of topics and the party's stances are the same as the Syria intervention.

Yet another reason I'm proud to be a Democrat.

In your street, yeah, Gladiators, we come to your house....

So I just finished watching the entire first season of Spartacus.



Yeah, I watched 6 episode yesterday, watched the other 7 today.  That's pretty much all I did today.  But it's done.

What did I think?  I dont know, really.  I enjoyed it, but I can't rave about it.  Had way too much of the look of the movie 300...which I suppose was it's intent.  I tired quickly of nearly every fight Spartacus was in going the same way: he fights, he's beaten down to almost nothing, to almost defeat, then he sees something, or hears something or thinks something and suddenly, ba-da-BING, he's back on his feet and defeating or killing his opponent.  Despite being pretty well roughed up himself.

I tired quickly of all the gratuitous nudity.  yeah, yeah, I can hear you all out there gasping with disbelief, but come on, every single episode we got boobs: boobs of main characters boobs of random chicks in the stands, boobs, boobs and more boobs.  I understand, in Roman times, the exposed breast was not a...taboo like it is today  But really, did we need ALL those boobs, for no other apparent reason than the directors saying, "HEY, we can show boobs, so let's show boobs!"

By my recollection, we got three full frontal female shots, of two separate women, and we got three full frontal shots of two separate men (one of which was really rather freakin impressive...I know I gasped).  We got so many ass shots of both men and women that I totally lost count.  There WAS plenty of mail eye candy, I mean almost every scene had at least some really built guy wearing little but a loin cloth.  And that was all good to me.  But I still the nudity is gratuitous, unnecessary and distracting.

There weren't many characters to like in the show, but again, I think that was intended.  I liked Pietros, the cute little Egyptian who was the lover of Barco, cause he was indeed cute and seemed like a nice guy.  Of course he'd end of dead.  And I liked Varro, again, he was cute and seemed like a nice guy, so again, he too ended up dead.  Both of those angered me.  I also like Doctore, cause he was one of the few honorable men shown, and strangely, he ended up alive at the end.

I really didnt care much for or about Spartacus himself.  Too proud.  Too stupid.  Too headstrong.  Too given to extensive planning that never works out as planned.  Too prone to flash backs.  Although he did look MUCH better with his long Thracian hair than he did with the short Roman hair (but that's probably just my hairthing fetish coming into play).

I'd say the violence was too gratuitous as well, and on one hand, I kinda think it is, but on the other, I realize the shows about a bunch of gladiators during the Roman Republic, so, yeah, maybe its NOT gratuitous after all.

After the ending, I really dont know where the show has to go from there, although I know there are two seasons after this one (and a prequel miniseries), so I know it goes somewhere. And I do plan on seeing all of that, the show kept my interest that much at any rate.

So, I give it a sold B.  Was entertaining, if a smidge disappointing, melodramatic, pretentious, and overplayed.  But something that I want to see the remaining seasons of.
