My wife likes prison break - personally I think its a load of old monkey w@nk. It is something like 12 boring episodes which could realistically be cut down into 6 good ones. I've been forced to watch the last two series and the only good thing in it is the comedy rubber hand that southern bloke sports.Originally posted by voodooflux View Post- Favourite fact based, documentary or news program

Not sure.
Um..
Varies.
Probably none.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
