12 Angry Men, the film from 1957?
I'd rather be Spencer Tracy, in Judgement at Nurenberg.
Can I? Can I? Pleaseeeeeeeeeee?
Honestly, I'm under no illusion that I'm in a minority, and have no desire to change anyone else's mind on the subject.
I'm just recording the fact that I find them an ugly blot on our natural landscape.
I'm yet to hear a defence of their appeal that will even make me ponder for a moment, and change my mind that they aren't the equivalent of a puss filled, weeping wound, on the face of the Venus de Milo.
Nor have I been swayed by any argument that there aren't cheaper, and more environmentally friendly sources of power waiting to be harvested, and profited from.
I might not have succeeded in 'winning' this case, but I leave the courtroom with my honour intact, and my head held high.
Happy in the knowledge that the majority were wrong, and that 'simply following orders' is no defence for acceptance, and that I was ultimately...right.
(Cue credits.)
