First of all, I'm sorry that I've not been around in a while. I've been sick. Sorry. However, thanks for finding me interesting.
1. No, my parents are staunch Christians. They're not very happy that I'm Pagan (not Wiccan)
2. It's utter disregard for nature. Though you can't escape Nature, our society believes that it has dominion over nature and that it's needs are more important than the needs of the whole planet.
3. Witches are completely misrepresented. In the past we were, of course, we were seen as evil and minions of the "Devil." This occured in societies, because they were dominated by a Christian monopoly. In literature this occured as well, but also we were viewed in a more fantastical light as well. Today, you get movies and shows doing shit that we can't do. We misrepresent ourselve when folks write books without any research about ancient cultures. Also, you get the science crowd saying we're full of shit, but they say everybody is full of shit. Then, of course, most Christians still think we're minions of Satan, but they're nuts.

5. That's a hard question... Oddly enough, I can't go with a horror film on this one. I'd have to say "The Breakfast Club." I saw this movie in middle school, when I was dealing with being the "outsider." The whole concept and plot of the film was monumental for me. It addressed all of the people and issues that I dealt on a daily basis. It was a complete reflection of what I saw. The confrontation that the characters had towards the end of the film was really powerful for me, and I wanted to have a confrontation like that.
6. No. It's been a looooong time since I've felt like watching a film. Mostly, I've been reading. I want to. I bought it. I walk by it. I just don't feel like watching a film.
I know that I'm supposed to ask someone some questions, but... I'm not sure. Can I get back to you guys on that? I'll um... think about it. Some one can take my turn.
