A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Happy New Year!

Probably the most anti-climatic of all the holidays, it's New Year's Eve again.  Enjoy yourself and have a nice, long weekend.  I'll be out of town for a few days, with limited access to AVITW, so in the meantime read this review of Avatar by Jonah Goldberg of the L.A. Times and National Review and go see the movie for yourself.

An excerpt:

You probably don't need a long synopsis of James Cameron's half-billion-dollar epic "Avatar," in part because even if you haven't seen it, you've seen it. As many reviewers have noted, Cameron rips off Hollywood cliches to the point you could cut and paste dialogue from "Pocahontas" or "Dances With Wolves" into "Avatar" without appreciably changing the story.
