• The superhero genre speaks to a vast swath of humanity these days, and studios are in the business of constantly renewing their money-printing licenses.

• So, what exactly is the News-Press' unforgivable crime? Calling illegal aliens 'illegals' in a headline for a story about illegal aliens descending on California DMVs. A new law went into effect last Friday allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses without proof of lawful residence. The article featured interviews with ecstatic illegal aliens, including one who has been in the country illegally for '22 years.'

• Such exaggerations have been so common that the public takes them with a grain of salt and partly excuses them as being due to the advertiser's license of self-assertiveness. Nevertheless, the fact remains that superlative generalities are weak arguments and far less convincing than a statement of facts. Much advertising copy would be improved immensely by doing away with brag and substituting actual facts about the merits of the article.

• England has been praised for turning out intelligent, adult pictures whereas Hollywood has been severely censured for turning out junk. I don't think criticism is a valid one because, in defense of Hollywood, we have censorship problems England doesn't have. I'm not speaking of the license to do sexy stuff. I'm speaking of the license to present adult ideas and viewpoints, which we lack and which means in turn that many of our pictures lack intelligent content.

• The media has changed. We now give broadcast licenses to philosophies instead of people. People get confused and think there is no difference between news and entertainment.

• Do we get what we want? Yes, we get what we want. God is that
  loving. If we want isolation, despair, and the right to be our own
  god, God graciously grants us that option. If we insist on using our
  God-given pwer to make the world in our image, God allows us that
  freedom; we have the kind of license to do that.that's how love
  works. It cant be forced, manipulated, or coerced. It always leaves
  room for the other to decide. God says yes, we can have what we want,
  because love wins.
