1) I never got why #RebelWithoutACause or James Dean were so highly praised & I didn't run into anyone who agree w/me till I toured Steinbeck's museum in Salinas & the docent commented on how Dean totally overacted in every role he was ever in & it dawned on me how true it was.
2) The best acting in Rebel was Sal Mineo. I've never cared for films about teens starring 24 yr olds. Sal Mineo was a teen but they made up 17 y.o. Natalie Wood to looks like a 35 yr old hausfrau.

1) In the first 20 months after the Benghazi attack #FOX "news" ran 1100 segments on that incident but they are seeing fit to not air the congressional hearings regarding a freakin insurrection and attempt to overthrow our government. If that doesn't tell you all you need to
2) know about how you are not getting facts and relevant information on that Faux channel and convince you to disavow that channel forever, then you are a hopeless case. Like the Germans who continued to vote for Hitler even after they knew he was a monster, and after WW2 were
3) nostalgic for their führer who destroyed their country with his hate & fascism.

@zerorespect4GOP @kramehr @youngallison63 1)Absolutely. Something happened to humans when we left the structure of tribal societies with the intense family structure of clans & family groups & strict assignment of roles. When we became anonymous individuals living in large cities w/o deep connections 2 others, It allowed
@zerorespect4GOP @kramehr @youngallison63 2) capitalism to evolve overtime & the nuclear family's end has made a society that contains a lot of anomie & lack of concern or connection to others. Males R often left adrift & turn into monsters without good role models & revenge themselves with assault rifles.End of rule of
@zerorespect4GOP @kramehr @youngallison63 3) is only making things even worse. I shudder to think what we will be in 50 years.

1) I think it's morally wrong to kill animals for sport. Does that give me the right to impose my values on everyone else? Pass a law that brutally punishes anyone who does hunt for fun? Isn't it enough that I refuse to participate in the behavior I consider immoral. Right to
2) lifers certainly believe they have right to impose their values on everyone else. It's not enough for them to mind their own business & tend to their own personal morality. They mistakenly believe it's their duty to monitor everyone else too. This attitude is inherently
3) autocratic and democracy's enemy. & the true irony is that the bronze age book they put so much store by has not a single thing to say about the morality of abortion in its vast largely irrelevant pages. Spare us from the misguided do gooders.

1) 22% of Americans are Catholics. Yet over 66% of the SCOTUS is Catholic. Nothing against the Catholic religion but something like 70% of Americans don't want abortion criminalized. Personally I say live & let live, & anyone who doesn’t approve of abortion, should certainly not
2) get one. But I don't get the right wing's need to control the behavior of others. Who appointed them the guardians of the morals of society? What makes them more righteous & gives them the authority to monitor & judge others & make laws that conform to THEIR religion?
3) Especially in a country that specifically chose to leave religion out of the Constitution in the first place. On Turner Classic Movies I like those old timey travelog movies James FitzPatrick was famous for making at time when very few Americans were ever able to travel to

1)We can only pray it's a monumental blunder by the fascists & that it unleashes a firestorm of anger from women in the mid-terms & in 2024 but if its overturned what can we do in the meantime? Women in red necks states will be F'd for foreseeable future. We'll have to create &
2) fund with $ from the Ted Turner kazillionaire type libs & donations from other women, a fast track transportation system to enlightened states with free clinics. Have worried 4 long time that there wasn't a fire in the belly of younger women for the issue like there was for
3) it in the 70s when the womens movement was really making strides. I don't know if it's complacency b/c younger women have never known the lack of the rights we've had for 50 yrs or what. I just know it infuriates & depresses me that these Xtians keep trying 2 force it on us.

@LPDahl2 @kensgal3 @DianeSATX 1)Universities etc used to be heavily subsidized by government programs, thus making the cost of college much cheaper. But starting around the Reagan admin when wealth started accumulating at the top of the pyramid & the rich began slithering out of paying fair share of taxes
@LPDahl2 @kensgal3 @DianeSATX 2) the cost of higher educ skyrocketed to ridiculous heights. Goes along with the tilt of this country to the right since the 70s. These are some of the consequences of electing GOP all those years Got so bad a progressive Dem had zero hope of ever being elected to office.
@LPDahl2 @kensgal3 @DianeSATX 3) They were conscious choices baby boomers made at the ballot box all those years. Yeah the Woodstock generation turned into Reagan democrats & voila 45 yrs later we're a country run by oligarchs & corps have same rights as human beings. It's all crap for logical reasons
