...great romance that was played out there--legend's Ur-Triangle--comes across in First Knight as not much more consequential than suburban adultery. Or, to be strictly accurate, adulterous yearnings. Guinevere and Lancelot never actually consummate their affair in this movie. A couple of kisses aside, they sin entirely in their heads, and then quite guiltily.

In the last analysis, I am willing to remain agnostic about the precise form that Jesus' Resurrection took, as I implied to your interviewer. That the disciples and Paul recognized...
...system can afford. Accordingly we shrug and go on with our lives, accepting the risk. But why continue to spend vast sums on absurd military projects when the same funds could protect us from a real threat? America's military planners are not just wasting money (no small sin) but are also guilty of outright mismanagement and violation of the public trust...
