      <![CDATA[what it's about is how the western is our great movie meme yet somehow, gee I wonder why, we never showed the westerm meme of justice pardner' played out in the gone with the wind background.  <br>
<br>
why do we have ten thousand "westerns" and almost no movies about (a) enslaved persons in the south, or (b) mill workers up in boston in 1860, or (c) farmers in ohio in 1860?  Our notion of "American" is a created notion.  You can't udnerstand today's politics without grokking it.  No joe the plumber without westerns, no white resentment without westerns.  Django unchained is about ending all that mental enslavement.
