Forty years ago today, “The Empire Strikes Back” was released, which makes me smile.
Why? Because that movie takes me back to childhood, to a time when debates were about which “Star Wars” movie was the best or which character was the coolest.
Now, like everything else, our debates are way more serious, way more heated.
In some ways, they are just as meaningless as a sit-down between Ewoks and Jar-Jar Binks.
I don’t care that Nancy Pelosi called Donald Trump morbidly obese. Was it rude? Yes. Would we as a society blow an O-ring if that comment were about a famous woman? Of course.
