I learned that I'm not after you... I'm after them.

...and this is a serious answer because I am in fact a lobbyist of sorts... for nuclear power none the less. Heck, if even a tenth of what the anti-nukes are saying was true, I'd be the top M.O.D-squader in notime. :D

I'm not paid or anything like that... just an amateur who happen to think nuclear power is a good thing.

And that whole scene, where Nick explains to his son how he works, was in fact a bit of an eye-opener. Debate - which I do alot on a grass-roots level - is not about convincing your opposing partner that you are right and make him change his mind... it's about catching those that are watching the debate and make them change their minds.

Every time I see this movie I need to pause it during that scene, because I end up histerically laughing.
