The real Magician

Mood: Tired
Listening to: Rain

So there's all this hype about Harry Potter.  The bad ass, anti-Christian Paganist witch corrupting children and turning them to magic.  Evil is as evil does.

I may be wrong, but Harry hasn't forced teenage boys to kill other teenage boys and men and women and children in a foreign country. He hasn't lied to the free world about his intentions.  He hasn't used dogma to suppress people for thousands of years.

Excuse me when I accuse the bible belt, the politicians, the press and the conservatives for being the real magicians, the ones who practice black magic, turning people on people in the name of 'good'.

I don't read Potter books, but that's not really the point is it?  To say he's evil is shifting focus and blame from where it really lies.

Listening to: get down girl...

is a metaphor for deceit.
