Who couldn't like your style then. Except maybe the mormons...and jws...and christians...and muslims...and scientologists...oh you get the picture!

HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!! How can a person brought up in a nominally secular world give up any semblance of dignity and freedom? I'll never understand the willing abrogation of freedom of thought.

While you are in Dallas, see if you can talk the powers that be to take creationism out of the textbooks and put Thomas Jefferson back in.

Thanks for posting my comment for me, Loren!

Don't know what's going on Loren, it shows up when I hit the ''add comment'' button so don't know what happens after that. I din't know I was having a problem until after I had left the page & then went back to it. This is all I was trying to say.....

=====================

The other way here. My daughter is the one who became brainwashed when she got married, but we accepted it because we felt it was none of our business about what she was led to believe. She was never a questioner to begin with so we actually weren't too surprised as to what she'd buy into. The subject stays closed & we get along fine as long as it stays that way. I absolutely will not get into this argument as I have better things to do with my time. We aren't close, but that's ok too, she made her choices.

I'm loving Sam Waterman and Newsroom. Your video file has some really good things I have watched and I look forward to seeing the rest. Thanks.

It is the darndest thing, I do the Google search and use Google Alert, I come up with zilch! You send me the sites and I find all kinds of programs to watch. I guess Google isn't as good as I thought it was. Anyway, I am glad I didn't delete your mail when I tried to clean out my mailbox and I think I now have them all lined up to either watch, read, or listen to. I am in for a good time. Thanks

I just found Feb 19 Newsroom clips. I'm off to fix dinner and then look at them. Thanks I look forward to what they offer. I'll get back to you.

It makes good sense to write "Habemus papam" after learning more about Pope Francis. I have no doubt, even though he is a softer, kinder, gentler man than most, he still follows the principles of RCC. Every point you made is valid and needs to be said out loud.

It Can't Happen Here...?

Posted on May 4, 2013 at 3:38pm 17 Comments

A long time ago, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention put together a track entitled: “It Can’t Happen Here.”  Exactly what it was or is that can’t happen here is never particularly mentioned in the song, but ol’ Frank seems to be adamant that whatever “it” is, it ain’t coming down around here (wherever “here” is) ... or maybe it is.



It was a long but productive week I spent in Dallas.  Helping bring a system up, teaching a…

Religion – STILL At It

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 8:02am 6 Comments

It was just one more article from the Huffington Post about Stephen Hawking, the Big Bang, and the fact that no god was necessary to make the whole business happen.  I’ve probably seen dozens of such articles over the past four or five years and watched him discuss the matter with people like Larry King.  Same stuff, different day,…

Roger Ebert: 1942–2013

Posted on April 4, 2013 at 6:45pm 8 Comments

Pardon me if I keep this short and sweet.  Roger Ebert left an impression on me from the time I first saw Sneak Previews on WTTW-11, Chicago Public Television.  I found a near-instant affinity for his style and candor in how he reviewed movies.  I was not always in agreement with his point of view, notably on one of my faves: Gladiator, but I still wanted to know what he thought about a movie.  There was hardly a time when a review of his was disappointing or failed in…

North Korea - Where Do We Go From Here?

Posted on March 30, 2013 at 8:42am 10 Comments

It should be news to no one that North Korea has been upping the rhetoric in the past few weeks regarding its relationship (if you can call it that) with its neighbor to the south as well as with the United States.  Its new leader, Kim Jong Un, has been making increasingly belligerent war noises, starting with the launch of a three-stage rocket in December of 2012, followed by a test of a nuclear device in February of this year.  More recently North Korea severed all “hotline” communications…
