A collection of random thoughts

ok,, i'll start off with a question,,, did anyone watch the oscars last night? and if so did any of you expected Crash to win best pic instead of Brokeback??

so,, here i am thinking about the media, mostly the impact that Hollywood has affected society, not just USA, but other countries including Canada. Do u think that the movie industry follows what the social and culture norms are? or do you think that it is the driving force behind our culture? To me, its a little of both actually, the media has a powerful influence that reminds people of what the society is like and what society ought to be like. What do you guys think???

Should Xians put being in the arts, being in the media as a piority because to a certian degree, media does influence people, should we try then to speak up on Xianity? How you might ask? Write to the local newspaper...put up more blogs like this...and the list goes on. Would that be benificial or not to the society? What do you guys think???
