However, TV execs don't have a high opinion of what American audiences want. I'm hoping the reason isn't political. I remember a mention of Bush in connection with war strategy by one of the commentators (for the Irish segment?). It wasn't bad, but I recall it wasn't particularly flattering either. Also, the Mulan ep doesn't paint a pretty picture of how the U.S. treated Indians. And Joan of Arc was French. Heh. You never know nowadays what might be considered "unpatriotic." - -- Ife ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

And speaking of "circles," and Chakrams, if Lucy Lawless now gets to draw on this wonderful energy which she helped to create several years ago, then it is fitting, that the circle of hope and power and energy and caring, which WE have been able to draw on, now is able to go back to her.
