If we have the power to change, and we do, we must, above all else, change this irrational hatred of those who are not us. The Middle East violence, the violence that has touched innocents in so many other parts of the world, is only the most visible example of this disease. It lurks and thrives even in this glorious country of ours, accommodated by those who discriminate and legislate and preach against those who are somehow different from them. And, if we are to prevent their like from breaking the promise of America, we must accept the responsibility that comes with power. Don't let them dress up hate and call it "justice" or "morality" or "values." It is none of those things.

Fight the lies. Change the world.

Am I to understand you equate a suicide bombing in Israel to someone in the US, say, signing a petition saying they don't want a transvestite in drag teaching their kid in school? You got a bit vague at the end of your sermon, but I think I've read enough of your columns to know the type of point you wanted to make.

What many of you liberals don't understand is just because you disapprove of how someone lives their life doesn't automatically (or even usually) follow you want to blow up their car with them in it. I'm all for schools teaching that taunting and violence aren't solutions for views and lifestyles you don't share. But when you have situations where a school has a member of GLADD come in and preach that homosexual lifestyles and heterosexual marriage are moral equivalents, that's when the school is trying to take over the role of the parent. I doubt you'd like your kids' school to let a member of the RNC come and tell the students if their parents aren't Republicans they're disloyal Americans. Again, not the school's business.

Michael Paris has inherited a nightmare: a cemetery filled with monsters. But as we learned in the first story-arc, the real danger was not the monsters, but the fear and prejudice of the regular townsfolk. Mayor Wormwood--ultimately revealed to be the Devil himself--failed to oust Paris and the Boneyard folk from the cemetery, however, and Paris now finds himself facing an even greater evil: the I.R.S.

Ancient Studios and Mosaic Media Group talk feature film "I never would have imagined talking with someone in Hollywood about making League into a live-action feature film", says Jan-Ives Campbell, the writer, creator and, under the name Ancient Studios, publisher of League of Super Groovy Crimefighters, a spoof on '70s super hero comics. "After thinking about it for a few minutes, the ideas began to flow. I can definitely see it, complete with a groovy '70s soundtrack!"

Gloria Fan of Mosaic Media Group, producers of films like Scooby Doo, Three Kings and 12 Monkeys contacted Campbell after hearing some buzz about his comic. "At the San Diego Comic-Con, a colleague asked if I had heard about this independent comic; League of Crimefighters. We found Jan's site and after reading the first issue online dropped him a letter of inquiry."

"Jan's story was really funny! About 99% of what we read doesn't have the potential to be a feature film, but this one has possibilities." Fan continues. "If we can successfully adapt the basic storyline for the big screen, League will be ready for the next stage in development."

Campbell's next step is to come up with a "treatment" that can be used to springboard a screenplay. "I won't be cashing any checks anytime soon," laughs Campbell. "My idea for my proposal can be summed up with the high concept tagline: "That '70s Show Meets the X-Men." I'll be able to use a lot of counter culture humor and work it into a super-hero team story. The Crimefighters are a pretty laid-back team, so I think they'll make the transition well."

No doubt it will be a strange trip for a comic that features ethnic stereotypes, bell-bottoms, super-powered dogs and pot- smoking monkeys. As Black Belt would say, "DYNO-MITE!"
