Out of the Blue

I'm not a big fan of musicals at all, but we ended up on an excursion yesterday to see Wicked, a Broadway show based on a book that's a retelling of the story of the Wizard of Oz where the Wicked Witch of the West ends up the sympathetic lead character. What a good lesson to not pre-judge things, because in spite of fears I would not enjoy the show, I was blown away by how good it was. And as funny as it may sound, I don't think I'll be able to watch the movie ever again without finding myself rooting for the witch!

The one common element amoung all of you who dismiss this is that you just want to dismiss it, you have no concept of the historical background that pretty much speaks for itself. You know, I can search Google and prove to all of you that the Holocaust never happened, Hitler never slaughtered 6 million Jews. But I can find a hell of a lot more articles proving it did happen. Just like finding more pro populism/oz articles than negative. East vs West Gold vs Silver Farmers vs Industrialization A group of 11th graders have proven to have more intellectual clout than most of you who would rather go to a search engine, find one article that proves your point and allows you to dismiss it.
