Offensive...

Donald Trump has offended many people, including, Women, Minorities and Disabled people to name a few. He has had good numbers since he began his run for President. He somehow received forgiveness from those that support his Candidacy for these actions. Over the last month new revelations have come into the news. It appears that these news revelations have done little to the Candidate Trump. These revelations have hurt many people for a while and continue to hurt people. The question, that I have is how much more will we let this man get away with?…Is this who we have become?

American Sniper: Hero, Patriot or just big money for Hollywood?

The movie American Sniper is #1 at the box office once again. It aims to portray the effect war has on individuals and families. The reviews and audience reaction are good. What is not good is the debate over where the main character is a patriot or a psychotic killer. Some in Hollywood have express the dislike for the film, like Michael Moore and Seth Rogen, saying that Chris Kyle was just a coward and a murderer. Others have countered this argument with Kyle begin a war hero, Sarah Palin and all at Fox News. The director, Clint Eastwood, says he wanted to present how war is difficult it is for soldiers and families. The film is based on a true story, the film does not aim to be a true story of Chris Kyle. If that was the case, Chris Kyle’s book tour and his encounter with former Minnesota Governor, Jesse Ventura would have been presented. Actually, that encounter was redacted from the book because it did not happen. In all of debate, the movie studio continues to make money ...

KFC Cartel?

So there is a demand for the Colonel's recipe. It's not in the United States. It is in Gaza. Sounding like the procedure to get a bowl of soup from the Soup Nazi, the process has some rules. It will cost you some money also. The fast food delights that are available to us in the United States are unlike that of other countries. In Gaza, there are few if any fast food choices. In this area of the world, what happens to mom and pop restaurants if Fast Food moves in? What are the implications for a culture? There are already implications and new restaurants are not in the country yet. If you want it and can afford it, it will get to you.  Sounds like something that happens in the United States, except in the US it is usually not fast food, but some other drug or drug like action. This value of instant gratification is usually a bad thing in the US. What would the addition of this value to Gaza do to it's culture? That is already being seen in this one example. Some may ca...

Tag !

Did you ever play “tag” when you were a child? Some may have called it “IT.” That was some much fun, the rules were simple. “Your it. No your it. He is it. She is it” Those were the phrases heard from the play ground. Well, now some school districts are banning the game. No more “tag” on the playground. The reasons have to do with not wanting accidents and the liability issue. Schools are worried about getting sued. Now why would some parent want to take a school or their staff to court because of the game of Tag. So far the game has not been blamed for mental issues. Wait… Maybe I should take a look at it. This could be a therapeutic questions in counseling. “So tell me, Did you play tag growing up? Are you still it?... I think we have found your problem.” Outlawing tag, what is next? Redefining what constitutes a hug? Oh, sorry, that has already been done. I think I have a solution. We could have children play tag on XBOX or Playstation. Of course, we keep redefining play on the play...
