Several weeks ago, at a Dean speech in San Francisco, a woman approached me and said, "I've been a moderate, Clinton-Gore Democrat, but no more." I asked her why.

...Politics and role models aside, Battle Royale II still relies on Hollywood devices for much of its impact. The battles are as long and relentless as in Saving Private Ryan; copious blood and gore saturate virtually every scene. Death, ubiquitous as it is, usually comes garnished with generous amounts of melodrama. And most of the heroes are endowed with idol-caliber good looks, most notably the Wild Seven's icily gorgeous sniper Saki Sakurai, played by teen siren Natsuki Kato...
