“Controversy”
Have you ever wondered why some issues seems to have been there for a
long time without anyone caring and then suddenly it becomes very
important?

So I was thinking: Hey, neo-conservatives why stop with the NYC “mosque” protests? We should make sure all hallowed grounds are preserved!
So, no Christian churches anywhere in Germany or eastern Europe. After all Hitler grew up Christian and claimed he was Christian when ever it suited his needs… and he killed anywhere from 6 to 20 million people.
How about no Christian churches anywhere in the U.S., given how many Native Americans that were killed while forming this great country?
How about no Christian churches anywhere in Iraq or Afghanistan given the tens of thousands of innocent Muslims that were killed during our execution of these “necessary” wars?
Throw in the Crusades, the Catholic Church’s role in the Rwandan genocide, etc., etc. — well, you get the idea.
Wait a minute. I see an overarching theme here that leads me to think they won’t go for this idea. Darn.
Heck, if you think about it, throw together all the deaths caused by white people (above, plus Stalin and more), Asians (Pol Pot, Mao, etc.) and Africans (all of the genocides on that continent) and I don’t think you could build anything anywhere.
Or, we could take the simpler route and just stop being racist, xenophobic, ethnocentric, and jingoistic.
Really excited about this movie, as On the Road is probably my favorite book. Throw in the director of The Motorcycle Diaries (great movie) and some top notch actors (Mortensen, Adams, Kirsten Dunst, and Sam Riley), I’m thinking this will be a high quality adaptation. Can’t wait for 2011.
