I am no fan of Star Wars. "Less to this than meets the eye" is my reaction. But since Camille Paglia touted part of Revenge of the Sith as a great piece of cinematic artistry, I took a look.
During the climactic battle between Aniken and Obi-Wan, the Obi responds to something the future Darth Vader says with, "Only Sith Lords deal in absolutes."
This stuff makes me nuts.
The whole effing overdone hysterical film and its series and its mythology is inundated, suffused, flooded with absolutes, one after the other.
Part of the fraud of Liberal culture is to hold its own values as absolute in reality but to deny others' absolutes as, well, absolutist. If you don't believe me, wait til the next time a Liberal dribbles out something condescending or contemptuous about a non-Liberal's idea of "evil." Once they tell you that these things are relative, then tell them that they won't mind, then, if you inform them that Blacks are inferior to Whites and that the death penalty should be used far more often and performed in public.
Then we'll see about absolutes.
