Robin Williams In His Iconic Role As Patch Adams

This 1998 film was based on the real life of Patch Adams. Wikipedia: "Hunter Doherty "Patch" Adams (born May 28, 1945) is an American physician, comedian, social activist, clown, and author. He founded the Gesundheit! Institute in 1971... After being hospitalized three times in one year for wanting to end his life, he decided "you don't kill yourself, stupid; you make revolution."

In my opinion not all are born great. They become great over the years by both their words and deeds. Yet another human being who is a true inspiration and example of greatness seldom found in this world.

Genius Of The Constitution

Here's a clip from the 1994 film "With Honors". The writers gave us food for thought which can be equally pondered in our present times.



In this and in upcoming posts (like many in the past) I'm posting embedded videos. The reason is because these videos (along with their writers) have much greater abilities to say things I could ever hope to with my words. I would fall far short of them trying to express myself.

Did You Know?

Here's some things I came across in the news today.

More than 2,000 absentee ballots cast by Pennsylvanians this November won’t be tallied — and the voters won’t know it.

The EPA is now allowing asbestos back into manufacturing.

"Rosenstein reportedly talks on the phone with Trump two or three times a week, on a wide breadth of subjects. He also stops by the White House to have lunch with Chief of Staff John Kelly and White House Counsel Don McGahn regularly, and updates Trump’s team before major news breaks."

"The West Virginia House Judiciary Committee voted on Tuesday to impeach all four members of its state Supreme Court."

"In Arkansas alone, retaliatory tariffs from China, the European Union, Mexico and Canada threaten $339 million in exports, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."

"Even before Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie was sworn in July 30, he discovered what his predecessor, David Shulkin, had known: The real power at the VA resides at Mar-a-Lago, President Trump's private club in Florida, wielded by a triumvirate of Mar-a-Lago members led by Ike Perlmutter, the almost comically reclusive CEO of Marvel Entertainment."

Carl Sagan- Ties That Bind Us All

This is my 3rd post in a series accentuating the positive. I decided to do these because all too many times we are only hearing from low IQ people spreading negativity rather then from minds of greatness. In this particular message Carl attempts to explain why it's imperative humans understand their relationships with one another. Failing to do otherwise could quite possibility result in our extinction.

"Carl Sagan gives the best speech ever about humanity and how foolish we behave. Pale Blue Dot is one of the most important and reflective speeches about the human condition and our place in the Universe. The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers from Earth, as part of the solar system Family Portrait series of images."

FOX News Fact Checked By A REAL Journalist

I believe FOX News could be a quality network representing conservative values if they got rid of screwballs like Sean, Tucker, so-called Judge Pirro, Doocy, Watters, Levine, Hemmer. Also a large number of knuckleheaded BS artists who appear on their programs. Guests like Gingrich, So-called Gov. Huckabee, Lahren, Gorka, Rove to name a few. FOX Business-- forget about them altogether. The whole staff is a waste of time. 90% of the airtime is spent on anything but business news.

I actually enjoy listening to the conservative views expressed by Baier, Cavuto, Faulkner, Perino, Shep, Wallace, Williams, Napolitano, Roberts, Rivera and quite a number of others. I think they play an important part in the news arena. BUT those other screwballs belong on a street corner shouting into a megaphone instead of a major network like FOX. It may generate revenue but it makes FOX News look like they don't care how much damage they are doing to the country as long as they make a buck They really do need to clean house.
