| books I saw a movie once, can't remember the name of it. The film takes place in the future, obviously. They build a super computer and put all the information known to man on it, all of it. There are no written documents of any sort left on Earth. At some point the computer, which you can communicate with like a person decides to not let anyone see anything of earths history for a 300 year period. Nothing, blank.... It just decided to not allow people have information. Sci-fi man.... The movie was basically how the computer developes it's own intelligence and decides to not let people see what it doesn't feel like releasing. | |

Do you know the title of the movie? | |

Brownsburg, IN | It sounds like the computer just picked a time period that it didn't think that mankind needed to remember. (like the Holocaust) Or a part of time that would remind them that it is a bad idea to let one person/computer control history. (self preservation)
Man, that does sound like a great story. Do try and think of the title. | |

| | | Interesting. One of my favorite books was the Ray Bradbury story `Fahrenheit 451.' There was a movie... however it was a story without aliens.
When books are outlawed only outlaws will have books. | |

More to the issue is that the former principal left under questionable circumstances last year amid anecdotal reports from former (and present) teachers suggesting she was a very dictatorial principal. | |

She was probably recalled to a conclave of the NWO (New World Order).

Ah, management by "my way or the highway". Another thought: was she personally involved in choosing the contractors?
