i agree, Americans are becoming more and more accepting of indeciency and immorality - we see entertainment continuously pushing the lines of what is tolerable with endless shows centering about being homosexual, shorter and fewer clothes, purposeless living, etc. i am not saying that these shows should be banned or anything, but simply that they have devolped a sickingly wide audience and illustrate how low we are sinking as a society

It's funny because everyone thinks it is coming out so late because of the politics and what not, but no, movies come out in accordance with how many people went to see them in the theatre and how well they did.... if it was based on politics and what not wouldn't you think Brokeback Mountain wouldn't have come out right away?

W gave a lecture at Kansas State U. and a student asked him since he had ranching background if he had seen Brokeback Mountain, and what he had thought of it.  Bush's answer was that he would love to talk about ranching, but he had not seen the movie.

Today is the 129 anniversary of what us whites call Custer's Last Stand or the Little Big Horn. The Lakota, Ogalla, And Cheyenne call Gressy Grass. There are several reasons that this is important and I will get into it later.\n\nFirst of all the Rank at the time of Gressy Grass was Lt. Colonel, but due to his brevetted Rank in the Civil War was Major General. So if a person were to address him it would be General. It is the same as we refer to President Reagan after he left office, becaue he earned the title. The only way he would have lost the right to be called General is if he was demoted due to an infraction of military law. At the time he was posted here at Fort Lincoln Southwest of Bismarck, Dakota Territory was the need for generals was not as great.\n\nDuring the Civil War he was considered the North premiere Calvary General were he perfected dividing his force and strategy that generations of historians would pan him for the last four decades.\n\nFirst off, General Custer was arrogant, or maybe just overconfident. Although is it really arrogance when you can do what you think you can.\nIf he were as bad a character that the modern day historian claim he was.\n(There is a theory that Reno and Benteen set him up to fail.)\n\nHis orders were vague, he and the seventh Calvary was supposed to meet up with General Terry sometime. He was offered gattlin guns. Some historians think that this might have saved him. There are three problems with this the terrain is incredibly hilly with a lot of coolies making it hard to get them set up. A gattlin gun weighed over a ton and would slow down a Calvary unit (the Calvary Unit of the 19th century were considered to be akin to our special forces today. The Calvary units were quick attack units. Third, black powder had a tendency to jam regularly. I wouldn't have wanted them.\n\nI think that he found the village to soon. The rule of thumb if you could see an indian They KNEW you were there. I will grant you that he didn't listen to his scouts, but the number of warriors in the village I don't think anyone would have comprehended. There is a possibility that he was going to fight a holding action. Trying to hold out tell the three columns of Sheridan and the other Generals. Sheridan and the other two Generals were held up they weren't where they were late because they encountered other Nations on the way.\n\nThe morning of the battle Custer divided his command of about 100 troopers into three commands under Reno and Benteen. (Later in Reno's military career his was court martialed for assaulting his commanding officers daughter). This was so they could surround the village. The last order out from Custer was for Benteen to "bring packs big village." He didn't. Reno was surrounded for a time but when one of his sergeants brains were blown out Reno took off running.\n\nHere is the victor's perspective. Months before the Battle Sitting Bull had a vision of soldiers falling into the village. The interesting part of the vision for me was the warning not to take anything from the soldiers or they would loose the war. His warning was headed. (Kinda harkens back to Joshua and the fall of Jericho when he warned them not to take anything, but Achan did and they lost the next battle Joshua 6-7 Makes me ponder what would have happened if the Nations would have heeded the warning).\n\nCrazy Horse was a very formidable General. The terrain really lent a hand to the way the Lakota, Ogalla, and Cheyenne fought. It gave the warriors a lot of cover. The yellow boy Winchester 10 round magazine repeating rifle for close quarter fighting is very formidable against a single shot Spencer carbine. Not including recurve bows. The warriors were trained from an early age to fight one-on-one. The stiff formations of the Calvary didn't work well because the Warrior fought outside of the box.\n\nThe importance of this can still be seen today. 1893 the massacre at Wounde

Brokeback I think but I assume you are being ironic :-)\n\nStatistically it is pretty much a cert' that many cowboys were gay ... maybe village people were on to something!

I hope you're not confusing the Denver Broncos with 'BrokeBack Mountain'.  Broncos are a football team.  'BrokeBack Mountain' is a homosexual cowboy flick.

A small county newspaper (15,000) outside Colorado Springs.\n\nIn fact, We're being threatened with a lawsuit by a former city councilman for a Brokeback Mountain parody last week. Sadly he's let his own homophobia blind him to the real spoof which was a huge city expansion project gone belly up (or Broken Back as the case goes.) TOO MUCH FUN!

My guess: it wasn't political.  There are so many awards, and so much coverage especially in Los Angeles, that people got tired of Brokeback Mountain winning everything, and tired of people saying Brokeback Mountain was a shoe-in, so they said "I'll vote for something else Iliked just to show support."  And then it won.  Backlash against Brokeback Mountain's status as front-runner.

I don't think so, i believe, a date is about starting to know each other, Brokeback mountain is a movie that you can hate or you can love, it's so polemic that you can end the relation the same day you started it. \nHumans become so exalted when you make your point on subjects like homosexuality, religion and politics, that i don't think a first or second date is good to use those subjects. You have to see something that is more ligth!\nIf you have a girlfriend, wich whom you know about her ideas, and agree with most of them, then you can enjoy this movie, cause it is a GREAT LOVE MOVIE!!!\n\nAh, and i was forgotting to say, that this migth look like you are trying to get out of the closet, it's dangerous too.

lol could be! I think he led himself. His epic probably wasn't as great as it was thought to be, noting that history becomes inaccurate over time. But hey, thinking he was led by aliens makes me laugh!
