THE WAY I SEE IT

Malice In Blunderland

The columnist seems to be a bit perturbed today. So what’s the problem?

Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a certain number of words! Plus, you can repeat words! And they don't even have to be true! ~ Dave Barry Those who know me are aware of my penchant for finding humor in the strangest of situations. I’m not sure what it is in my psyche that makes me that way; it’s just the way I am. It’s not something I work at.  As much as I may laugh, I’m also tuned in to my deeper emotions. I’m a passionate guy. I’m compassionate. I’m not afraid to cry. I guess I’m a bit complex, though I’m sure I don’t appear that way to those who don’t know the real me.  My wife and I will celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary at the end of this month.

THE WAY I SEE IT

A Three Hour Tour: Gilligan Meets Pheeny's Island

Oh boy! Where is the columnist going with this?

“……we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender….”  ~ Sir Winston Churchill  Battle lines are being drawn. Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong. Thus begins, For What It’s Worth, the classic siren call touting the turmoil and social change of the sixties; an anthem for an entire generation.  It’s now 2012, and it seems that battle lines have again been drawn; not over anything as momentous as radical social change and rioting in the streets; not over an unjust war in Southeast Asia, nor the horror of the killings at Kent State.

Who are the vandals?   more ›
