The HBO channel was showing the film “The Green Lantern.” As the Green Lantern was the only comic-book I read with regularity in my youth, I watched this movie for a brief period. HBO’s brief summary of it read “A test pilot becomes the first human to join a band of warriors sworn to preserve peace and justice throughout the universe.”
Can anyone inform me how “warriors” can “preserve peace”? Perhaps the author of this piece is a former Strategic Air Command underling, whose motto is “peace is our profession.” “Warriors” promoting “justice” is a bit more realistic, as “justice” is but the redistribution of violence!
“Throughout the universe”? Will these “warriors” soon be enlisted on behalf of a NASA-led war against the planet Earth, in order to punish us humans for not adhering to St. Al Gore’s directives — he speaking on behalf of the new deity, Climate - to turn our lives over to state regulation in order to “save the planet”?
