I've always been fascinated and in awe of brillant minds and cutting edge thinkers and so Bill Moyers' guests have continually intrigued me.
For three or four weeks now,Bill Moyers has guested some of the most intriguing philosophers of our time. I have been spellbound with their ideas and concepts of Life and being Human. Being Human, for me , is a great and wonderful undertaking and one not to be treated lightly. A great deal of responsibility comes with being Human.
OK, so I open the little local, mandatory newspaper(comes weekly in the mail and I have to read everything) and here is a man by the name of Richard N. Ostling with an AP column that is totally misleading, ignorant in its concept and biased. Now I live in a super religious town, state ,well if one can call it community, OK, community..This Ostling guy names Salman Rushdie the "chosen representative of Islam". He says that David Grossman is the "sort of Jew who believes Israel perennially favors the way to violence". In the column (article) next to this publication is one titled "America has a Cultural and social Christianity". What happens to those of us who disagree? What happens to those of us who see a different way, a different "path'?Here I am in the bowels of the fundamentalist South. I know I'm not alone cause I see y'all in here from even Alabama..I would surely just like a little "re-inforcement" from the southern red state left, I guess. That is all.
