Is George Lucas a Libertarian?

the new Star Wars film seems to be all about the dangers of strong central government - even one that seems benign.

So is George Lucas a Timothy McVeigh militia style nutter?

As long as he's not a librarian, it would be a shameful association.

Like you wouldn't want to use a lightsaber in the name of evil to chop up unruly patrons -- or a blast of Force energy to send them hurtling across the room. ;-)

But Lucas wouldn't do that, he'd probably just try to construct a Jar Jar Binks to annoy them.

A good kicking is simpler and more effective anyway.

Lucas is an elitist tyrant.

Thank you, Mark, for filling the role of ILE MENTALIST on such short notice.

That Brin piece was a good article -- even ended up on his mailing list for the responses to it, oddly enough -- but he's lost some luster in my eyes by trying to be Robert Heinlein Lite in re: libertarian approaches.
