    Default Recognize this Quote?

    "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." Will Durant

    It appeared in a recent movie. Recognize it? What movie?

    Almost seems appropriate to think about what we are doing to ourselves here in the U.S.A. don't it?

    I wasn't to keen on seeing at first because of all the press it was getting when it came out. People saying it was a veiled commentary on the Bush administration and such turned me off, I was tired of that sort of babble. When I finally watched, I found it to be damn entertaining and more of a cautionary tale than anything else.

    I thought it did, perhaps I'm wrong. What movie were you thinking of?

    Very good movie if you can get passed the subtitles.
