A few things of note before the bomb
Well, "the bomb" in this case would be my giant post about last year (and the beginning of this year). But as I am still in production of this epic work, here is my temporary observations on things.
Today in US religions class we watched a movie (well, a documentary) called "White Shamans and Plastic Medicine Men." I thought it would be pretty cool - we're currently learning about "Native American Religions."
Well. I had another thing coming. It was one of the most offensive things I have ever watched. It was so amazingly biased, I wasn't even sure what was going on. They talked to two different groups of people - White people who followed a shamanic/tribal/earth based religion, and people who were descended from Native American ancestors. But they picked some of the more "out-there" people on the white end, and it basically ended up as an attack on anyone other than Native Americans who practiced a new-age or shamanic religion.
On a brighter note, I saw "I Am Legend" today, which I have wanted to see since I first saw an advertisement for it ages ago. I won't spoil anything, but it was excellent. Scary, and a bit of a cryer, but an excellent movie.
So that is all for now, but I will post again soon (with luck).
Blessed Be.
