I viewed "Starship Troopers" at a local theater a year or so ago. Something caught my eye as rather odd and prompted me to ask myself a
a question, consider: early on in the movie a government-run TV station
announced that a scheduled execution was to be publicly aired later (using
what appeared to be some sort of futuristic electric chair). Later in the movie the
station showed a cow placed in a room with a giant predatory bug, and the
feeding carnage was blotted from view.
My question is, what gives? It seems a society that values honorable
citizenhip over mere civilianship would have certainly developed a set
of moral values that would have precluded the possiblity of exposing
children from public executions; yet it doesn't, while simultaneously
putting forth the concern not to violate public sensibility by covering
up the slaughter of a lowly cow! Seems a little wacky to me. - AH
