    Default Peter Pan

    Has anybody seen this movie? I mean the Disney flick.

    There is some serious racism in it. The scenes with the "Heap Big Chief" is insane.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Ohh yes many of the old movies and such had serious racial overtones. Remember blacks used to be considered subhuman around 100 yrs ago. That is just one long lifetime.
    How long since Blacks got the right to vote and apartheid went away in the USA ? Well mostly went away.
