Clarrisa also seemed ... day to make her interesting to me. The plot just seemed too hard to follow. This movie must have been for people that look for meaning deeper than I. I believe that Mrs. Dalloway was fixed on the past. For one thing, the audience never saw Clarissa Dalloway think about the future; she always went back to the past.

... American MEDIA, having shed of any pretense of objectivity, serves as a CHEERLEADER for the new order and its corporate bosses.

Now that the war in Iraq is all but over, many people are questioning why we even went in the first place. Was Bush's evidence actually legit or was it all just circumstantial evidence?
