I spend a lot of time listening to WCCO radio, especially when I’m going to sleep and when I first get up in the morning. For those of you not in Minnesota, WCCO is the local CBS affiliate, both on TV and on the AM dial. Anyway, lately the topic of school bullying has been coming up a lot. If it’s not on in the daytime, it’s on at night, if it’s not on at night, then it pops up in the form of yet another school incident, and so on. Of course, school bullying is nothing new. It wasn’t when I was in school, or my parents, or grandparents, either. The reason I bring it up here, though, is that inevitably, the radio host always eventually asks for caller opinions that they play out on air. Have to keep the discussion going, right?

Not so long ago, a movie called Battle: Los Angeles hit the big screens. On the surface, it’s a simple enough story. Aliens invade Earth, because they want our liquid water. The plot follows a unit of Marines sent in to evacuate some survivors that are trapped behind enemy lines in Santa Monica, before the Air Force pounds the entire area with enough ordinance to wipe it completely off the map. The men being sent in aren’t heroes. They’re Marines, they’ve been given their orders, and they’ve got a job to do, so they go. Simple, right?
