Happy to trigger your memories!  It's a good movie and a good memory for me, too.  (There is no @ before my moniker, though "that's OK").

I am not sure there is an easy answer to that.  Like many threads here, especially ones that really veeeeeer off-topic, the gestalt, the construct of the whole, must guide.  As hard as it is to "hold many wholes together" in one's mind, that's how I've best learned to absorb this list, difficult as that is to do.  While sometimes they do (we get lucky), answers don't always reveal themselves explicitly here.  The subtle teasing apart of "what the heck does everybody mean by what we are all saying?" and how that gets translated into our (and others who read without participating — a VERY important readership!) actions is what matters.  Yes, we might (on occasion) reach what appears to be a "snap consensus" here, but that seems the exception rather than the rule.  We call these "talk" because that's what happens here.  If it leads somewhere concrete, great.  If it doesn't, well, at least we who participate leave our writing on the wall for others to ponder and forge ahead perhaps (hopefully) a bit smarter about what others think and do.  That's a bit "tough," but we have to do this, so we do.

A lot of people have said a lot of things.  That's as far as it has gone.  If somebody wants to "reach conclusions," I'm all ears.

In circumstances like this, asking very specific questions sometimes gets us somewhere.  And maybe those can be compiled together and "stick."  Hard, sometimes slow work, this, yes.  Worth it.
