"Postscript: While the character Henry Brubaker is a fiction, the man he was based on, Thomas O. Murton, was not. Murton ran two prisons in Arkansas from 1967 to 1968, and the movie Brubaker documents at least in part Murton's experiences…"

Of Wardens and Caretakers ... and Gods...
Warden Henry Brubaker has seen Wakefield Prison as it is, from the inside. He initially entered Wakefield incognito, as an inmate, sufficiently schooled in its practices and usages not to be caught like an unaware first-timer. He comes forward after an incident with an enraged death-row prisoner and proceeds to attempt to do something the prison board never expected: to actually reform the prison.His efforts meet resistance from all quarters. The prisoners figure he’s one more showpiece, all…See More

I have a very limited diet, and it is delicious. No fresh fruits or vegetables, but they taste delicious cooked. In goes a nice chunk of salmon, or shrimp, or cod and I have a totally nutritious meal with all the elements needed to restore health. I have my old vinegar back. The

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

"The Great Evangelical Recession"
Posted on May 29, 2013 at 8:00am 6 Comments 4 Likes
Yesterday evening, while waiting in the car for my stepdaughter as she did some shopping, I was listening to our local NPR station. The show was: “Q, with Jian Ghomeshi,” and one of his guests was one John S. Dickerson, pastor of the Cornerstone Church in Tempe, AZ and author of the book, The Great Evangelical Recession. It would appear as though some evangelicals have recognized that their numbers are dwindling and that their title “evangelical” has been besmirched by, among…
Continue It Can't Happen Here...?
Posted on May 4, 2013 at 3:38pm 17 Comments 2 Likes
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 4 Likes
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,…
