In response to “Movie Review: Bad Milo!” by Aalhad Pankatar in A&E; on Oct. 2, I am dismayed that the Daily Bruin recently recommended a film about a demon living in an anal cavity. Sadly, in its inexorable effort to promote diversity, UCLA has flung the door wide open to perversity. In my view, the University’s Principles of Community pave the way for deviancy by regarding time-honored, traditional viewpoints as divisive and prejudiced. Without restraint, inclusivity becomes insane.
For example, the Los Angeles Times saw fit to extol a 2007 documentary film about people who have sex with horses. Critic Kenneth Turan describes it as “elegantly made and eerily lyrical.” Years earlier, the Los Angeles Times published a lengthy review of a stage play that portrays a pedophile in a sympathetic light. Similarly, CNN aired a compassionate report about a brother and sister in the Netherlands who want to marry each other. No doubt, incest, bestiality and pedophilia are threads in the inclusive tapestry of the moral relativist world.
Yet liberals yearn for a world that worships at the “anything goes” altar of moral relativism. Certainly, in that depraved setting, dissidents are labeled divisive and instructed to be open-minded.

I guess you’d prefer movies about Jesus performing magic shows and encouraging people to symbolically cannibalize him? Or movies about ostracizing so-called “perverts”? Or movies about anything fictitious that would be considered weird in the real world, if they weren’t, you know, movies….
Perhaps Michael Moore would have an interest in making a film about a Christian cannibal. Mel Gibson is perfect for the lead role of crazed Christian. If the biggest star in the world – Obama – played the Devil, then Chris Matthews would fight hard for the role of Devil’s Advocate. Al Gore could play a hustler that cons King Herod into giving him money to restore the Jordan River, which is devastated by baptisms. By the way, Jesus performs miracles, not magic.
The liberals (as seen in the comments here) are OK with America becoming the next Rome: self-indulgent, decadent and slothful. It is one way civilizations meet their end and is certainly the direction America is taking thanks to their idiocy.
