POPS Good Human Beings & Great Atheistic Quotes
Gore Vidal interview led me here not any intention to rain on good Christians parade.The Jehovah,s Witnesses have just done their relentless rounds reminding me that no one was working in the fields when Jesus was born as it was Winter, seems each mob have their own "Truth". Gore Vidal spoke of Roman and Greek good guys 1000,s of years ago. We inherit to different degrees instinct/ breeding I know not which is most but a sense of sharing, fair play ,& compassion, you can see it in a multicultral playground ,until bullying by older kids surfaces, thats the time for the shrinks to come in to "play" together with parents but I,m no expert on any thing a seeker of love & balance and wish in Xmas silly season for moderation and time to chill out with friends & fun with kids.The christian ethics were the only moral compass I grew up with and my fathers indifference. I dont object to my own son learning them from his Catholic mother but after his 18 yr of hard child learning respect respo

POPSMcCain Considers British Grillings If you've never seen it, the UK Prime Minister appears regularly before the members of parliament for a sometimes bruising round of questions from the opposition. It would be quite a change from the current model, with communication happening indirectly through statements and press conferences.

POPSGore Vidal: Obama better than JFK Re Clinton: "... this long campaign, this daily search for the grail, has driven her crazy.” Re McCain: You could beat McCain! ... He went to a private school and came bottom of his class. He smashed up his aeroplane and became a prisoner of war, which he is trying to parlay into ‘war hero’.” “a goddamned fool. He was on television talking about mortgages, and it was quite clear he does not know what a mortgage is. His head rattles as he walks”.

POPSMark Steyn Remembers William Buckley::Hilarious Gore Vidal Encounter The idea that William F Buckley represents a civilized conservatism lost to uncouth savages will no doubt become received wisdom in the same way that, upon his death, Ronald Reagan's success was universally ascribed by the media to an avuncular geniality wholly alien to the vengeful knuckledraggers of the Bush era. But Bill was lethal with opponents on the opposite team and on his own side, dispatching a liberal Republican like his own Senator, Lowell Weicker, to the trash can of history and purging conservatism of its crackpots so thoroughly that conspiracy theories, principally a hallmark of the right in the Fifties, were by the Sixties the more or less sole province of the left, where they've remained ever since.

POPSIn Memory of Norman Mailer What we have lost is more than an author, it is not even a "spirit." Gore Vidal is right - it is a FORCE. A constant iconoclastic pressure, an unrelenting challenge to our lives. As we constantly sink into comfort and complacency, it was Norman Mailer who would grab us by our collar and shake us into waking. Of all the times, right now we need Norman Mailer more than ever. As the country seems poised to let the inertia for genuine change dissipate into politics as usual, who will shame us for getting comfortable at the expense of the mute suffering that is the byproduct of our current society?
