Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Interesting idea. If you look at the majority of comic books, though, they're absolutely NOT about moral clarity these days. They're nauseatingly PC, and instead of the great Marvel sophistication of having the heroics come with a price--innocent bystanders being hurt, heroes sometimes questioning their own actions--they're crammed with Mikey Moorisms (I think a Captain America issue made refernce to the War on Terror as being Fascist or something) and more "soul searching" than interesting stories. I'm basing this on a casual sample, though, since I haven't read comics in 20 years and am prejudist against anyone over 18 who's into comic books. :)

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effect Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

PING!! Thought of y'all when I saw this.

American's have heroes and G-d to look up to. The heroes must be fearless and not hesistant to face death. And they must win. Americans understand that not all come back, but all win. God must be forgiving. He also is self-sacraficing.

American's expect the war to be over and the good guys winners after two hours. That is plenty time enough to get the job done with or without popcorn. If it takes longer, well, we'll just have to do it.

Americans also offer their sons and daughters without hesitation to preserve the liberty and peace of future generations of people they will never know.

Americans sometimes fly off the handle at people who don't understand how precious the jewel of freedom is. That's o.k. Sometimes the pressure just gets to them. After all, their sons and daughters have been lost.

Americans will forgive you for almost any transgression. They just want to live in peace and engage in commerce. Just don't try to prevent those two activities because Americans will make sure you will never be able to either. You will be dead.

Let them fret over cartoons all they want; America is too busy bringing freedom and light to a dark world to care what others think of some aspect of its popular culture.
