I ask her permision into using the adapt phrase in an icon, is there any nice person in this flist with time to teach me how to make a "moving" icon with this motto:

Snape/Granger, yes. Rickman!/Watson!, fuck no!

Some one post at WIKTT a stupid thing about H/S going to the states, I didn't say anything about that I felt it depends on the writter, but then today there was this post, and I can't stop answering:

The poster: It wouldn't be as advanced as English magic of course but there could be a special power in the primal, less refined magic of Native American Indians.

ME: Of course? Ejem, pardon me. I disagree.

America as the hole country, or america as the USA? Just kidding, I know you are including all the complex and lovely continent from Alaska to Chile in it's hole diversity, and not just one single country.
Also the idea of raw vs refine (advance) magic refering to Europe vs our continent is a little ethnocentric and like Rousseau idea of Bon Sauvage (wich if romantic, is insulting).

The word indians came from the idea of Colon arriving to India, but we have a culture of our own, not Indian one, not Raw, of course. But a different way of percieving the world, I would love this pairing to discover our culture and the values in it. Is hole different racionality, wich of both, Severus or Hermione, could be the more biased, prejuice and ignorant towards our American diversity?

Of all the ethnocentric ignorants!. Grrrrrrrrrr.
Indians!, Raw!, Not advance as England, of course; less refine.

I tend to forgot the Empire is healthy. I recon I lost my temper.

From what I'm reading, this twit is from some small town in the middle of nowhere Texas. I just checked exactly where the place is located and it is an old railroad town that has very little geographically to recommend it. Small out of the way places like that in Texas are not known for their educational standards. Actually, I've met people from such small towns that were so poorly served by their teachers they were writing at a seventh grade level durring their freshman years in college. It's not an excuse, but her education as far as history and geography go is likely to be extremely poor because her teachers were not well paid. I think we can assign this one to ignorance rather than intended offence.

A valid challange would be one where they expected to learn from the greater history of these long standing cultures and their different approaches to magic as a whole. I've read some stories that have pointed out that the prohibition against discovery by muggles really only serves first world countries. (I think it was The Burried Life.) I'd love to see some one make more of that.

I think Severus and Hermione could travel to where they want, as long as the author lift a good case to tham. Is the fact that the girl see us raw and primitive that irkes me. But poor thing, she is young after all.
