I have had a few discussion {loud} with people trying to convince me that (1) these views are chauvanistic,...ugly,etc and (2) that we (americans?) still abide by them. I would like to say that I liked having the opportunity to compare my values with those {idealized} of the past and that I am glad that I still possess some of these qualities and that I don't possess others. How are we to improve ourselves if we deplore some things so much that we refuse to listen to *things* that contain such. {I hate moral majority too...} In summary, I hold "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" as an example of a good {avg} movie and reccomend it. There are many wonderful things to be seen in {underneath} it along with some not so wonderful... Bill ps. This is not a social issues discussion despite my flames. I will defend my views personally, but don't feel that this is the place. It seems to be appropriate for pro/con movie statements...
