Track 1

There was some disagreement about the meaning of Liam Neeson's speech from Taken.

One viewpoint was expressed by a socialist Indian by way of Signapore.

Maybe your husband just means it to say that he loves you because he cares about you the way Liam Neeson cares about the daughter in Taken.

Are you saying we're like a father and daugher.

No, no, no, no, no. I obviously don't mean it that way.  I'm just saying that when you look at it from the angle of Liam Neeson being an action star...

...with a particular set of skills...

...yes, yes, of course, with a particular set of skills.  You know, in the movie he flies to Europe and saves his daughter while single-handedly taking out an Albanian human trafficking ring.  Well, the speech is, of course, scary if you're one of the Albanians, but if you aren't, then it can be very reassuring, that someone would go to such lengths to save his daughter.  You know, he would want to protect you in the same way, so I can see it being very sweet, you know.

So you're saying I'm not an Albanian?

Yes, yes, exactly.  It's a scary speech for the bad guys.  So, I could see it being something romantic for someone that he's not trying to kill.

Romantic?

Well, I don't know if romantic is quite the right word for it.  It could be a sign of his love and that he wants to protect you.  You know, on Valentine's Day and all that.

Riiiigghht...

The opposing viewpoint was offered by a Caucasian male, likely of leftist leanings, but only because he disliked their side less than he disliked the right.  He, like most who seek out intelligence in other people and find it lacking, was perhaps best categorized simply as a misanthrope.  He was never one to let politics get in the way of his disdain.

Good god!  Is your husband a serial killer!?

One year later further evidence was presented that often pithy arguments carry the most weight.
