When I was a child...

I remember when I rented a tape of this out from my school library. They charged me 50p to take it out as it was 'non-eduactional'. Even at the tender age of 16 or so, I could appreciate the irony of that!

How strange. I'm surprised there was a charge to rent from a school.

I hope it turned out to be 'educational'.

Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle "Dixie"?

It certainly did! And enjoyable of course, but because it didn'y have an EXCEMPT FROM CLASSIFICATION it wasn't regarded as an educational tape.

Crazy, this should be obligatory viewing for all democratic citizens! Of course it's educational! Where else do you learn about the machinations of government?:-) I hope that at least SOME of it is exaggerated, though, or we're in trouble.
