Pressure companies like Twitter into changing their policies.

How?

Not use their product?

A friend of mine recently saw the new movie Midway. It’s a remake of a previous version, about the Battle of Midway which took place during WWII. He was disappointed because the new version did not stick to the original facts. Instead of chronicling the events, it followed a few primary characters and was merely loosely based on historical facts. He also noticed that the movie went over other aspects of Pearl Harbor, not just Midway, which was unlike the original version — as if the people watching the movie were too ignorant of the rest of that history and needed the background.

Uhhhhh....NO!

The Roman Empire fell into the same abyss of entertainment and debauchery.

Mocking our Judeo-Christian heritage

"The term "Judæo Christian" first appears in a letter from Alexander McCaul which is dated October 17, 1821. In this case the term referred to Jewish converts to Christianity. The term was similarly used by Joseph Wolff in 1829, in reference to a type of church that would observe some Jewish traditions in order to convert Jews."

Woody Harrelson playing the part of Nimitz instead of Henry Fonda turns me off.

Had Harrelson’s brain been in Nimitz, we’d have lost that war three weeks after that battle.

Any mention of the Fonda family turns me off.

“one of the daughters made a sex tape and has an enormous behind.”

Sorry, much worse than that. Though it was put forth as an ‘amateur tape’ that was ‘stolen’, the truth actually came out. It was shot by a production company, who when they were stiffed on payment, threatened to start selling it themselves. Payment was immediately made by the person that has contacted the work. Hint, it wasn’t any of the daughters.

The entire bunch of them are collectively the worst example that could be offered to young kids. A series about a Mexican drug mob would not be worse!

I think social media dumbs people down and harms the thinking process through information overload. More and more, I bump into people who talk like this:

“There was this guy, and … well, whatever … and then last week, the … you know? But anyways, my car was all like, Ugh! And I’m like No! And the car is like Yup! And … whatever … so now on Tuesday I’m … but it’s Ok I guess … I mean, whatever.”

I don’t know how anyone functions with a brain like that. That sort of “thought pattern” used to be a lot less common.

I went to the Metropolitan Opera yesterday. There were a lot of other people there including children. I overheard many conversations on my way in that made it clear that quite a few who attended were first-timers. All is not lost. (Occasional Sunday afternoon performances are new this year.)

Dumbo Woody is Nimitz?!? Might as well have cast Pee Wee Herman. No, Pee Wee (in character) would have been a step up.

I haven’t watched any of those shows or movies mentioned except “Leave It To Beaver” and don’t have a silly blue tweety bird account.

It was her equally trashy mother who thought it up, directed it and sold it to get fame. Robert was still alive so makes you wonder.

BTW, where is OJ's garment bag?

I blame it all on Barbara Billingsley (RIP) who played June Cleaver. She spoke jive.
