Argo and bad movies...

Millions of movies are made every year of varying success and qualities.  One reflection on Argo-2012 and also that other good movie with the same theme in the 1990's called the Sums of All Fears is as follows: Bad movies and also the really really exciting ones with slick suits and pretty girl explosions are made to bolster or uh manufacture consent. Now if you saw the movie and never complained to your senator or congressman because you were too busy with the football, all you can do is say it was too late and lament with a budweiser with your friend at the bar and also listen to the hearings on Larry King when they come on to tell you what went wrong and that everything is being repainted and buffed to make sure no one feels ashamed of sitting in such a strange formula of democracy. Democracy is an on-going experiment,by the way, and Duncan Hines got it right. You save money with all efficiency on eggs and milk for mom and dad, make it taste in such a way as to please 90% of the cake buying and eating public, provide simple instructions that even a child can understand like the gospel ( love your neighbour etc blah  you know blah blah charter etc, bill of rights constitution)  and package it well so that there are no unnecessary spills that will take a lot of clean up and just add good water.
