(...) And I agree with *that* too. I'm conflicted. I like the Star Wars(tm) stuff, if only for the parts. I like the Wild West stuff, for more than just the parts. I even bought one of Dan's tanks.

(...) I think I pretty much agree with your words about violence, Larry. It's summed up pretty well in that Kenny Rogers song, which I can't remember the name of right now, about tommy, Becky, and the Gatlan boys. But I am disappointed that TLC (...)
