   I haven't been to the movies as in going to a theater in decades.   
   mostly because the product hollywood puts out is trash designed   
   to suit a culture who thrives on sex and violence.  the last movie   
   I actually watched in it's entirety was Forest Gump and I watched   
   that on a VCR.  IMO the entire concept of hollywood is simply trashy   
   behavior catering to a culture who thrives on having another human   
   to idolize.  sad how most people have their sports-guy-hero and their   
   movie star hero.

   now there are 3 climbers in need who are being searched for on   
   some mountain over in Oregon.

   I heard about this wreck today.  tonight on the evening news we   
   got pictures and sound of some pissed off family members who cut   
   just short of blasting dumb southerners for not being able to locate   
   the scene of the wreck.    I can relate to their loss and to their   
   feelings of anger and resentment.  after all, in the true nature of   
   the american, it's anybody's fault other than their own.   
      
      
   and in Jim's little world, today that fine John Deere tractor   
   sure did run smooth.
