 [ Summary: Comments on how B5, as fiction, seems to reflect a lot of our
   own history of power corrupting individuals and governments. Cites the
   CDA as an example. ]

Sb: #624580-#Human Emotions in B5
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

       Yes, B5 is fiction...but elements of it that appear here and there are
based on historical incident.  The CDA and other moves toward censoring the
arts or the internet or free speech are the logical inheritors of Joe
McCarthy's Senatorial inquisition, as well as earlier verions.  The Nightwatch
goes right back to those roots...and anyone who thinks it can't happen
here...it *has* happened here.  And can happen again tomorrow.

>> Well...more than one, really....

Well, this is a fine kettle of fish.  Now we'll spend the next 2 months
guessing wildly until new episodes start to air then we'll argue as to WHEN
said characters will get offed.  You enjoy making us twist, don't you Joe? <g>

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

       Except, of course, that trying to guess at it removes any sense of
surprise, since by the time everyone's gone over all of the possiblilities,
there's not much more to do.

Joe,

What area code are you in? I'll check a few POP lists.

      I'm not sure which ones you're referring to; we've got Llorts, Hyachs,
Vree, Brakiri, and others.

                                                                    jms
