  I think the reason it takes security clearance is well thought (well, in the mind of a sick company): if you change the lenses, from 3D to 2D, you'll then be able to record the movie in 2D in "good" quality.

  Question for you then, how is the education going? How are the poor getting less poor and having time to educate? Is it going better than say, 20-30 years ago? Do you think it will go better as time goes by? Or do the government tries to make sure most of the voting people stay uneducated?
