Poliical Opinion

I just sent a political e-mail to Senator Bill Frist in which I expressed my opposition to his Flag Protection Ammendment.  I said...

I am a Purple-Heart veteran of WWII, and I oppose the proposed constituional ammendment to permit congress to make laws pertaining to the desecration of the flag. I feel that this issue confuses the symbol, the flag, and the principle the country stands for: freedom to speak, even if it is critical of the government.

I fought, and was wounded, not to protect the flag, a symbol, but to preserve the freedoms the country provides.  Any attempt to limit those freedoms is exactly opposite what we stand for.

I  signed it and posted it on a site that sends messages to political figures.  That makes it easy to express your opinions... be my guest.

Twenty-first Century

When I was born, the hand-cranked Model T Ford was the standard mode of transportation.  Radio was a crystal and an earphone. Televison and Airlines did not exist. A computer was a circular slide-rule.

Yet, this morning, as this child of the twentieth century sat writing an e-mail to be transmitted instantly and wirelessly to friend, he was interrupted by a message on his computer.

"Hi, Grandfather, are you at your computer?"

"Yes. Where are you?"

"I'm on the bus on the way to the airport."

"You can IM me from the bus?"

"On my cell phone. The typing is very slow."

Yes, I guess it is. You have to punch the ten keys multiple times to get the letter you want to send, and you have to spell it out letter by letter. I was flabbergasted. What century is this? I am living in a future I could never imagined when I was young.

People send mail from the bus.  People take a bus to the airport to take a two week vacation in Europe. In Europe they cross UNDER English channel to attend a concert as casually as we used to go uptown to the Music Hall.  And what do they see?  They see their Dad giving a concert that he has flown to from U.S.A.

My Son-in-law is taking a weekend off work to give a single concert in England.  Later this year my daughter is going to England to conduct a week-end seminar in water color painting. 

Has the world really shrunk that much?  I guess it has  Last night my daughter and I played a word game online with a grandmother in Australia.  It was already Thursday there. Time has shrunk as well.

Did I mention that Scrabble hadn't been invented yet, when I was born?

Too Easy

A friend used my Gospel Quiz at Bible Study.  These seniors know their stuff.  They got them all right with the exception of the one that asks where the River Jordan flows.  They mostly guessed Mediteranean, but it was the Dead Sea I am sure.

There'll Be Another One Next Week

Life in the old folks home:  I was on my way out to go shopping, but I stopped to check the mail. There were the usual ads and my new copy of Time Magazine.  I didn't want to waste time, so I took the ads and Time and opened my door and dropped them on the floor inside the door.  I closed the door and went shopping.

Later I returned.  The house keeper or the care giver had come to collect the trash, had scooped up my junk mail and my unread Time Magazine and carted them off.

Oh, well, there will be another one next week.
