Look at the First World War - many a young man joined the army (where you were shamed if you didn't volenteer) because of love for their country; they still died a 'poor-man's-death' without a grave. I (personally) believe this is what System are trying to portray (we're back to the 'IMHO' situation!) be it the 'Great War', the recent Iraqi or any other.

I (IMHO, :rolleyes: ) think that people get too caught up on the symantic's of particular words...you're not wrong in what you're saying any of you, but it doesn't necessarily make you right either. (And by no means am I saying I'm right either).

Anyway! 'Hypnotize'...who's looking forward to it?!

I'm looking forward to Hypnotize!
