Re: The Orangeman Cometh

Re: All Lives Matter

Cards on the table: MeDotOrg, a lifelong card-carrying liberal, has always been uncomfortable with the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' as opposed to 'All Lives Matter'. I don't know... It always seemed painfully obvious to me what the message was there, and was honestly surprised right-wingers found a ...

Re: All Lives Matter

And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics , will be able to j...

Re: Three Thousand Years of Longing

Has Tilda Swinton ever played a character that was not a bit off-center?

Let me recommend Julia, a 2008 movie where she is an alcoholic queasily stumbling to the bottom of the barrel. You are both horrified and fascinated by her character.

Animals, music, and communicating consciousness

I have a weakness for YouTube videos where humans play music for animals. It started a couple of years ago with a man playing accordion for a heard of cows . For some reason I loved the almost surreal juxtaposition of the rather martial accordion music with the organic herd behavior of the cows. The...

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home

I recommend Eric Hofer's The True Believer . Written in the aftermath of World War II, it discusses the commonalities between extremist movements. The more authoritarian a movement, the closer it is to its counterpart on the other side of the political spectrum. Is North Korea a Communist Nation or ...

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home

The guy lived in a garage in Berkley and made hemp art, which does not sound like the hero of an Ayn Rand novel. I don't think this guy was a life-long far right ideologue. Interviews with his family make it sound like he really started deteriorating in the last couple of years. When your world star...
