Akkam’s Razor

From FirstShowing:

The Wave is an compelling German film that premiered at Sundance earlier this year. It’s about a high school teacher who sets up an experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship, but it soon spins horribly out of control when he forms a social unit with a life of its own.

Assuming this is the same version (it isn’t) - I saw a 1981 broadcast version of the Wave (as an ABC Afterschool Special, broadcast in primetime) in high school psychology class in 1989/1990 [available in two parts on YouTube].  Both the upcoming and prior video versions of The Wave were based on a book, which was in turn inspired by a 1969 real-life Paolo Alto, California high school ‘experiment’.

One may like  think we’re better than that - repeating baseless rumors as smears - especially when there are so many character defects available, not to mention the McCain camps lack of proper vetting.  This is their game we’re playing - by their rules.  Stop acting like wimps! There’s nothing Americans hate more than a loser.

Consider the following excerpted from an article titled “Did the Jedi Have it Coming?”:

Seeing your own shadow

Complacency of this magnitude carries with it the seeds of downfall.
