Its a good thing that Disney doesnt care...
Pocahontas would be a much worse movie (yes I know I watch weird things when I have nothing better to do) if it followed the real story. For one thing, they wouldnt have been able to communicate within moments of meeting each other because they lacked a common language. For another, John Smith wouldnt have been the heroic character he was portrayed to be...rather he would have been a calculating mercenary, caring about money as much as anything. Furthermore, Pocahontas would have not ended up wishing she was with him, but rather marrying some other greedy english bastard.
So anyway, today I get to go home--my mom will be here in about 5 hours...8 AM, and I just finished packing everythign I can before tomorrow. We will see how well the morning goes because I know I will be hungry, tired and cranky. Oh well
Goodnight to all and to all a goodnight.
Night everyone who is sleeping/will be sleeping and for Nomi, GO TO BED!!! (yes I realize taht you dont have a computer right now and wont see this until well after it is a moot point).
Noodle out.

Well, actually, she *did* marry some other bastard--John Rolfe. And she was about twelve years old while he was somewhere in the neigborhood of thirty. So not only would it have been a much worse movie, but it would have required an NC-17 rating for pedophilic activity.

I knew that she married another english guy, I just couldnt remember if it was Rolfe or Raleigh and I was to lazy to look it up. And I dont think disney was ready for NC 17
