  • A Disney Movie I want my daughters to see and be influenced by: Cow Belles

    02/23/2011 8:26:09 AM PST · by OHelix · 10 replies
    I found this movie on Netflix. It seemed to me to be a remarkably positive movie on it's own. Even more remarkable is that it's from Disney. It does NOT have the usual Disney formula of "child disobeys parent, child has amazing adventure, parent apologizes to child". My wife and I call movies like this "Hollywood Antidotes" because they appear to be aimed at reversing the "glamorize the bad, denigrate the good" messages that seem to be written into nearly every other Hollywood film these days. The parents in this movie, who all require their children to do things they...
  • Vanity - Can anyone watch McCain interview on CBS.com???

    10/17/2008 8:18:14 PM PDT · by OHelix · 6 replies · 248+ views
    I've tried multiple browsers and am unable to watch 2 segements of Late Night with David Letterman containing the McCain interview. I'm able to watch the top ten and monologue but not the 2 segments on John McCain. The window loads, but does not play. Do I need to adjust the settings of my browser? I've gone to www.cbs.com, selected from the shows menu, "Late Night with David Letterman", then select the WATCH NOW for "Senator John McCain - Hear the Senator's excuse for canceling on Dave. Plus: Sarah Palin, campaign controversies and more." but it just stops at the...

    Cuban President Fidel Castro, left, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wave to a crowd while touring Canaima National Park in eastern Venezuela in a canoe in this Aug. 12, 2001 file photo. Chavez, the former army paratrooper who polarized Venezuela with his strongarm rule and whose friendship with Cuba and Iraq irritated the United States, resigned under military pressure Friday, April 12, 2002 after a massive opposition demonstration ended in a bloodbath.

  • House Passes Ammendment to allow laws making it illegal to Deface a US flag

    07/17/2001 7:25:03 PM PDT · by OHelix · 14+ views
    The disturbing part of this is that many patriotic people support this, without realizing it is contrary to the principles of our country's founding to make laws restricting freedom of speech, ESPECIALLY against the government. This is a hole in the dam. The only place to go from here is to make other laws restricting the right to speak against the government. Then you wake up one day and wonder how you became a soviet citizen in Nebraska. Here are the results of the vote:   YEAS NAYS PRES NV REPUBLICAN 207 11   3 DEMOCRATIC 90 113   7 ...
