  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm finding the pace a bit plodding, but the scope and scale, plus the casting of Matt Settle (Spiers from Band of Brothers) led me to tune in. I'm really enjoying it, and will watch the next five weeks as the story plays out.

For me, the ultimate whites/Native Americans narrative was the movie Little Big Man, but Into The West is proving to be pretty good at exploring the magnitude of America's expansion west of the Rappahanock in six times the length of that movie.

The last replay of the opening episode just ended on TNT, but and encore episode airs as I hit post. If you think you might find it interesting... tune in. :thumbsup:
