This also means: it does not have to be democratic, if democracy implies conformity with the imperial idea of political liberty."Edmond Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651618912907453630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14767691.post-2463759549492890442009-07-23T14:37:37.134+03:002009-07-23T14:37:37.134+03:00Hello Mr. Caldwell

It seems to pose some questions I've been trying to deal with in other terms, as both a writer of fiction and a leftist.

It has a tight plot, good photography and some actual social consciousness.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that it's love story. It's not meant to be taken apart, and reconstructed.<BR/><BR/>See it and have a good time.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.com
