Ok, let me throw out some more info.... This seems REALLY BASIC, and
yet I've spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure it out.
Unfortunately this has been happening a lot with Django. I'm having
problems finding out how to do things I just took for granted with php
or cf.

Let's say I have a list of categories:
- category 1
- category 2
- hide me!

Then on the template side, I (obviously) want to hide the one that says
"hide me!" How to do this? In PHP it would be a matter of modifying the
query that builds the drop-down: [SELECT .... WHERE active=1]. But with
generic views in Django, this is all hidden and *black boxed* so I have
no clue where to begin.

- Can I put a filter in the Meta section of the category class? Doesn't
look like it. I can order them though!
- Can I use a filter on the template side? This would be ideal, but how
do I override the {{ form.category }} piece and still retain the
generic view functionality?

Ideas?
