Brokeback... what? It's not particularly surprising that we live in a society that has difficulty naming a gay cowboy movie 'best flick of the year' - even in 2006 - because what makes us who we are is our constant back-and-forth struggle with change and we all know the alternative lifestyle seems a bit much for much of the stuffy righties making all the policy 'round these here parts nowadays - I'm talkin' about them republicans what with their gun-toting anti-abortionism what-not pro-war whodunit, not me, I think it was them afghanies. You know who I'm talking about. The same folks passing signing laws in South Dakota making it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless it is necessary to save the woman's life, with no exception in cases of rape or incest, according to an Associated Press report. The same folks trying to extradite the Prince of Pot Mark Emery from Canada to face trial in the States. The same people, basically, who are wasting our time. Cripes.

Isn't there a war going on somewhere? Have we forgot about this? Did it slip our minds? Think back .. doesn't Vietnam seem like, I dunno, a big deal? Doesn't WWII exist as a giant black cloud in human history? When did war become so unimportant that we would rather worry about abortion and pot? Who really cares?
