text: okay, last night i watched "the da vince code" and thought that it was marvelous; most certainly the best... movie out in theaters so far, however, it came to me that even though dan brown wrote the book with the intentions of it becoming an entertaining fictional book, i can't help but wonder how many poor fools will be swept into the conspiracy of the whole thing...i mean, the average person's opinions and ideals are dictated by the media. sexual orientation, religion, which politicians are the "coolest" and what not are just some of the ideals being drilled into many minds and are willingly emraced by those who lack the ability to determine their own ideologies!  sorry for the tangent, but anyway, do you believe that people will be sucked into this idea as so many are to everything else? the da vince code (book or film) is a fictional story based, on part, on some interesting historical facts, assumptions and hypothesis ... with much of the hypothesis unable to be proved either way.  i would hope that any interested folks will take the time to read wider and do their own research rather than taking any of it (or indeed the counter-opinions) at face value.  bottom line ... come up with your own opinion before someone gives one to you.  peace out
