does it explain why Motoko left Section 9 after the events of SAC 2nd Gig? Sort of, it explains what she was feeling, but it's left a bit ambiguous as to why she feels that way. Prehaps she's not entirely sure herself. Mainly it seems to be that when she left section9 she had reached a similar stat...

Yes, but he brings it back when he goes to rescue his daughter which is odd, probably some deep symbolic meaning there that i'm just not getting :P Also, could anyone explain to me how Motoko manage to save ...

They also mention a new Kamiyama's series ... so SSS could be SAC's final chapter :cry: at anime expo06 it was announced that Solid State Society is not planned to be the final form of the SAC series. That's all i know :S personally I'm hoping for a new television series, as nice as 'SSS: part II' ...

That's so very 'cool', although having said that I'm dreading the day the government get their hands on a practical working version of this - they manage to crush privacy enough as it is. :gabu:

The most valid way to do so would be a scientific definition as it could be somewhat free from cu...

Then tell me what these natural rights are, and as they must have been conceived by someone how can you so arrogantly claim them to be “completely independent of anyone’s opinion”? Natural rights don't have to be conceived by anyone, that's kinda' the whole point. Natural rights are universal right...
