You thought Wesley was in “It’s Only a Paper Moon”?

Yeah but domestic terrorism itself (last I checked) has no criminal statute. It would be much easier if we had a law defining domestic terror and how to prosecute it.

Wesley isn’t in DS9.

I’m no scientist, but I think so.

Well it would be bad if we began eating soap. Right?

In that case I’m gonna blame Oprah Winfrey for that one.

Highly recommend reading the book by Jon Krakauer. One of the best books I ever read. I can’t remember if this comes up in an afterward from an updated edition, but Krakauer visited the bus. Apparently that location was well known to locals and very close to a road. McCandless isn’t as far removed from the populous of Denali Borough as the movie makes it seem. Of course this was unfortunately not known to McCandless, as it seems, based on his journal writings.

Krakauer at one point relates the story of McCandless back to himself by including a chapter about his time climbing Devil’s Thumb (Taalkhunaxhkʼu Shaa) in Alaska. That is whole-cloth an essay he previously featured in his first book Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains. Of course this next part goes without saying: the book is better. There is lots more of McCandless’s life documented in the book that doesn’t fit well for the movie’s narrative.

Well, that does mention it but not that one. Two people try to sell the milk.

Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but wasn’t there a Portlandia sketch about why raw milk is bad?

Apparently being the victim of genocide gives you a free pass.
