Speaking of George Lucas; there is a new Steven Speilberg film just being released called " Lincoln " and word is it is awesome. Abraham Lincoln is considered by many people to be one of America's greatest Presidents; and certainly one of the most important figures this country has ever produced. The film reportedly focuses on the period when he is preparing to get passage of the thirteenth ammendment.

Only in America could you take " poetic license " to a degree that would make even the " trickster figure " that Joe talks about laugh at the media's self-absorbed absurdity. ( Although the the " Brits " come close. )

And for a conversation from " knights " of a " higher order ":

Thanks Neo for playing that role of levity and comedic relief and taking all this stuff and putting it in a more balanced perspective. God knows we need humor more than ever these days. ( Especially after this particular election season. )
( I know, I know; straying from the topic again ); but Neo's post was too good to pass up.
Onward

Hey everyone.
I came across this absolutely fascinating documentry on the secrets of building the great " Gothic Cathedrals " on PBS which actually takes you inside several of them with some really beautiful footage:

James and Nermin,
I may have to quit my job and catch all these links! Thank you for the inspiration.
Forgive me if I cherry pick. I honestly don't have time for all the links, though it would be great fun to click on each one for just a minute each to get the flavor.
Thanks again.
