The way the mind works ... or doesn't !

"over-analysing"
yep, agreed
having lived thro' and appreciated the music of Joan Baez etc
satire on "hegemony" and "raceism is what I would choose,
and I dunno about B-movie, I thought it illustrated the absurdity (with tongue firmly you know where) quite well without going to the lengths that H. thought were needed.

Anyway moving on,
grok
now there's a word I've not seen/heard used in a long while

If anyone wants some on-line reading of semi-hard SF and MF (MathFiction) with, at times strange diversions into ummm,
not exactly fantasy more sort of Anne McCaffrey style imagery then
try some Greg Egan shorts, go down to "Stories" :-

Except that they'd already designed a movie & then went "hey, can we buy the Starship Troopers name for this ?" ... it wasn't actually adapted from the novel ... just had enough similar aspects for them to con people 

For reading links - you can't go wrong with the Baen Free Library...

Or :
(devil)
& then had the wit to realise "hey, can we buy the Starship Troopers name for this ?" cos it is a perfect fit
(/ 's advocate)
falls about laughing
well it wouldnt do to agree all the time else there would be nothing left to talk about

Thanks for the link, a little more manageable than Project Gutenberg !
