Brokeback public

In a bid to socially engineer civilization in the interest of 1% of the population, a completely oversold movie about bisexual sheep herders cheating on a spouse does less than 1/4th the business as a movie about universal virtues. All I can think about is a phrase in today's column by William Safire On Language:

«The trick to assertive deflection is in the ducking of a question that sounds forthright.»
BOHICA.
