“Saw Batman Begins over the weekend. The repeated line, ‘It’s not what’s

in your heart that defines you, but what you do’ is one of the most

conservative statements I recall hearing in a film for a long time. Derb

should use it for his ‘harmless old bugger’ arguments.

“All that Star Wars chum about trusting feelings is antithetical to doing

the right thing even when it doesn’t feel right, and following one’s heart

is an all too common theme.”

Right on. And may I just say how much I enjoy reading the word “chum” in

this usage.
