ScottA you say the darnedest things? I'm sure I overreact but you do say some bizzarre things! I promise not to attach any politics to the MPP pics as I look, but from a certain viewpoint (not mine - scouts honour!) they are entirely political, and that is their value. The MPP pics, on both sides of the pic war, are among the very few pics here that are 'about' something; that put forward a point of view. A lot of poser stuff is just about playing with your barbie or fantasising about being a soldier. I don't knock that - my pics fall firmly into the second category - but it is very interesting to see that the same tools are being put to 'nobler' purposes. Those who can see this political side (not me ScottA - I can't see it all) might start to reappraise the possibilities of their pastime. Fortunately I'm blind to this forbidden vision and will continue to turn the same bad wariors that I always have.
