Great movie. Does anyone know what meaning, if any,the actual letters and numbers THX 1138 have to George Lucas?

You may laugh but this is closer than you think - presently our freedom is being eroded in name of freedom, and we are doing nothing about it. We talk of fascism as if it's another world without realizing how close we are to the very thing we despise. We have a government that can disregard any legislation simply by writing into the bill that the President has the right make changes to any order.

Do I hear "For the greater good?" Nobody does anything unless they get something from it OR it is coerced or compelled from them.

Government can not bless the masses (society). In a Republic as is the U.S., government is the servant to the sovereign masters (Caesars); government is not 'We The Peoples' tyrant god. Liberty is a byproduct blessing of being free.

You've got to hear it to really appreciate it. (Click here for audio.)

I thought I was reading a slogan from work for a minute. A few years ago, my employer came out with the slogan, "Stop work is good progress." I think this one is much more catchy.

We can all change jobs, change careers, study and publish whatever we like, move to wherever we choose, protest, organize PACs, run for office, engage in civil disobedience, or even organize to overthrow tyranny. But mostly we complain and forget .how much worse it is for most of humanity.

THX-138 was, I believe, the license plate that adorned Lucas' first car, a roadster he nearly died in when he crashed it as a youth. The license tag on the roadster driven by Harrison Ford in Lucas' great film, "American Graffiti," bears this same letter-number combination.

When we hear this from our mothers and fathers we accept it dutifully. Garrison Keillor usually signs off with something like this "be good, do good work, be happy". Why should not the state or the military commander or the plant superintendent wish folk the same thing.

Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy." ...like good little ants.
 -- J Carlton, Calgary
 
J Carlton might prefer "be lazy, slacken your production, be and underachiver, cause accidents, and be happy"....like a good little monkey. What negativism you espouse Carlton. Have you ever gone to a High School or College commencement when the students are encouraged to take on the world. I guess you would have the speaker tell the students to drop out, turn on etcetera. And to refer to your fellow humans as ants is oh so sordid and sad.
 -- Waffler, Smith
