There is nothing more insulting than someone telling me I am very articulate and presentable "for a First Nations person". WTF? Why bring my ethnicity into the conversation at all? Having said that, I am totally impressed with how articulate and patient with ignorance you are "for a Human being". Your collection of resources and contributors is first class and well worth sharing to anyone interested. The idea that a person can be both angry and full of love is refreshing. When I read articles full of righteous anger presented in a calm articulate fashion I swear I hear divine choruses like Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" trumpeting through my head. I'm sure you can think of a more culturally appropriate example ofr you, that's just mine.

Hollywood pisses me off immensely. I think so many people go to the movies and don't even realize how racist, sexist, heterosexist, etc., most of the big blockbuster movies are. I think it deserves mention, either with television or maybe as a separate category. Is Hollywood a separate category from Television? Hollywood pisses me off immensely.

But that could just be me and my opinion. Tacking on a few more ideas.
