Ok. I just reread my review of equilibrium and whoever edited it screwed it up mildly. What I submitted read:

"The leaders reason that sacrificing love and joy is a small price to pay for ridding themselves of hate and anger."

What it says now is:

"The leaders’ reason is that sacrificing love and joy is a small price to pay for ridding themselves of hate and anger."

In my version "reason" is used as a verb.  Perhaps it's not as clear as it could be but at least it doesn't read like a twelve year old wrote it, with no clear antecedent.

Could it be corrected please?

Sigh...  "leaders" is spelled with an apostrophe on the end in the edited version, not a string of nonsense characters.

easy there cowboy.

This is called "editing." probably stacer did it, since she's our proofreader/line editor. Or it could be one of the half dozen people with admin authority.

No need to get insulting over an editing disagreement, esp since I can, off hand, think of at least a half-dozen different ways it could have gotten messed up so it looked like it needed correction. I'll change it to what you say.

Roger.  Sorry for the offensive tone.  I reigned it in on the Site News  thread.  

Thanks

Wow. I just watched it, damn. What an awesome movie. It was fascinating seeing the guy slowly start to feel. Plus, the gunfights and swordfights were great. And finally a film with a swordfight that is realistic - ie, over almost instantly.

Yeah. That was a pretty cool movie. With lots of cool things. That was just a lot of awesome. I'm a bit clustered with my thoughts right now so I'll leave them for another time.

BTW, the city was named Liberium, not the drug. The drug was named Pre------ i think.
