  • What Are YOU Doing This Weekend ?

    working. I work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Bit of a bummer since everybody else is having fun, but then during the week, while everyone else is hard at work, I can go to Panera with my puter, sit and drink coffee, and people watch!

  • Politics

    I've been reading a book on American history, and it goes into detail about politics, all the way back to the beginning. Hate to say, but the people running this country have behaved badly from the very start. Human nature is the same no matter what type of government exists. The Founding Fathers gave us the best system of government they could, but they were not perfect and so neither is our country perfect. Our republic requires the watchful eye and full participation of the people in order to continue. Sadly, we have given it neither in recent years, and I feel that is why we are in the predicament we're in today. We have allowed the politicians to run roughshod over us while we go about our lives. We've allowed ourselves to be conditioned to believe that the government will, and should, take care of us. Heaven forbid we should go to a meeting and face our local elected officials instead of taking Junior to his soccer practice. More and more Americans are "getting it", but will it be enough to keep our freedom? Will we be willing to fight for it? (I mean politically, idealogically; although we may have to fight literally some day....). God, help us to do what is right.

  • Johnny Guitar (1954)

    Yeah, from what I've read about Joan Crawford, she was not a nice person. And as an actress, she never did impress me much. Wonder how she got along with the rest of the cast on this movie. Ward Bond was supposedly an "outspoken" individual; I might be wrong, but I can't imagine that he would put up with that kind of garbage....
