Heh! ;-) For me, Number 6, everything in that movie was darned good except for that one little problem....I can't relate to men getting sexually turned on by other men. I certainly CAN relate to men loving one another deeply for their whole lives, dying for one another, etc...it just doesn't work for me on a sexual level.

"Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I have witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though it hurt me so bad then
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me, my brothers in arms."


Yes, a love like that between men I can surely understand. Friends will die for friends.

I sometimes think that we human beings could love one another with less conflict and confusion if we didn't even have the sexual aspect playing its part in our lives. It seems to cause tremendous confusion in people, not to mention terrible jealousies and insecurities, and there are so many other ways to love a person deeply besides those that revolve primarily around the sex drive.

I'm simply theorizing, of course. The sexual aspect is an inescapable fact of life for anyone born in a physical body and past puberty. I remember how I loved people before I was old enough to be concerned about sex....and frankly, I think it was a better form of love then. It was less confused and conflicted in its nature, because it stemmed wholly from the heart. Sexual love stems partly form the heart, partly from the loins. That often leads to conflicts and misunderstandings.
