2023: Imagine a world where government was not the parent of our children.
A world where government funded education (taxpayer funded) was an open forum for parents to actively participate in how their children were being educated. Imagine a world where the legacy media wasn't

Okay, this is just a personal experience having to do with a chronic gastritis problem I have had for years. Basically, pretty much a chronic, yet sometimes intermittent case of diarrhea. It has varied

Just because a POTUS is groomed and selected to follow a particular agenda doesn't make the media representation of them true. (By comparison, Trump apparently wasn't groomed and selected, since he was

Goodell to risk looking like the ass he is.
Tonight's awful events in the NFL game reminded me of the first episode of Friday Night Lights - except that this is real life and they chose NOT to continue the game. We will likely know more tomorrow.

I'm so grateful my dog is still alive!
But having experienced so many beloved dog's demise over the years, and remembering the signs, I have spoiled the shit out of him the past few months, and it's almost like I have revived an untrained puppy!

Don't take anything personally. Very often people who attack are speaking more about themselves than the target they attack. Listen to my gut. It is breathtakingly wise and will guide me in life. All the

I'm distrustful of almost all conspiracy theories.
That said, both sides of the political spectrum are chock-full of them. In fact, I think the right and left wing pretty much believe the same things, primary culprits being the only difference. Both sides

When Beto or Biden lies about guns, there needs to be a powerful force in place to keep our constitutional rights in place.
It's odd that the two lobbies that seem to be the most hated -- the pro-gun lobby, and the smoking lobby -- strike me as the most defensible. To nip this in the bud -- yes, the tobacco companies did their

The first Star Wars was 1977.
I didn't get round to watching it until 1981, but that VHS and the rest (EU) really hit me. It had been called "A New Hope", but the most hopeful SW ever made me feel were the most hopeless

Elon's paid a huge price but the benefit to us is the exposure of how Twitter had become a partisan tool manipulated by the FBI.
Now I am sure anyone who have given it some thought realizes that the social media sites are plagued by foreign government agents who are ALSO seeking to manipulate the collective consciousness. But when

I think that a lot of people have forgotten that auditions are job interviews.
Filmmaking is work. People get hired and fired in movies, just like every other industry. And, yes, trends in mainstream movies tend to trickle down. When we make a small movie, we hope that it'll be that
