The White Messiah Fable

Someone on Facebook linked me to this excellent article by David Brooks about Avatar and the "White Messiah Fable".  It's basically what I wish I'd written in my review of the movie, and you should go read it because it's short and interesting.

EDIT:  Credit where credit is do.  "Someone" was Hal Edmonson, my RA from last year and an awesome dude.
