Commented on A "must read" old book on PrejudiceGS: Glad you are back. Bobby Tony ran the Flag up and down the pole. NASCAR is mentioned. All the monuments in Metro are being replace with those of Civil Rights leaders. That will solve all problems.

Commented on Piddling while America is "rewritten" and "remade"Great point about Supreme Court decisions are not carved in Stone. Prohibition was repealed. Civil disobedience is OK. Great point.

You notice some are for 10 people. That is a small family in North Alabama.

Commented on Forgotten Confederates: Black SoldiersThe Hispanic population is now 17% while Afro-American is 13%. I will write some Hispanic articles. Actor Anthony Quinn was Mexican born.

Commented on Forgotten Confederates: Black SoldiersBT: Correct. I would like to see Articles. The Comment section seems a place for three or four lines. Losing a War upsets folks. That may be an article.

Commented on Forgotten Confederates: Black SoldiersThe 1850 & 1860 Slave Census show 80% were Mix Race. Many were set free when the Plantation Owners died. Neptune Small was given a large part of the Plantation.
Amanda Dickson inherited the whole estate. What went wrong? I really do not know.

Commented on Forgotten Confederates: Black SoldiersAlso Web Search "Confederate Black Soldiers" for photos. Search "Neptune Small" for a biography. Search "Amanda Dickson" for one of the richest women in Georgia.

Another great Teacher article. She reminds me of my prof at SMU (Stone Mountain University). Have I told you I went there? My Creative Writing Prof advised me to Write less; less often. Good looking girl. You had me wondering with the gay marriage comment. The car is a Dragster not NASCAR. Flag. Wonderland. Wm Faulkner.

Commented on A "must read" old book on PrejudiceBack to prejudice. Taking down the CSA flag should solve all the problems. Maybe we can capture the Isis Flag and the war will stop.

Commented on A "must read" old book on PrejudiceBuddy said there is some kind of natural clay liner under the property that causes the Muscadines to be tastier. I sent you some photos of Buddy now lost. Send me the photos and I will write the article if you don't.
Back to prejudice. I like your short articles.

Commented on A "must read" old book on PrejudiceAll "Us Southerners" do not think alike. Our squadron commander was Black in VN as was 10 percent of the technicians and officers. Just a suggestion, take Stan to Bennett Wine Farm and just sit and listen to what some of "Us Southerners" believe.
I doubt he and I think exactly alike. Open you circle of friends?

My article is supposed to be humorous but female inclusion in male sports is a double edged sword for inclusion of men in women sports.

Work is a four letter word. Earning a living was always primary for me but there is time for hobbies and with retirement at 66 and life spans to 72 there will be 6 years to do something fun. You remember the pyramid starting with survival, food, shelter, and the top layers were social and pursuit of happiness. That makes sense.

Commented on Are Mule Blinders On Too Many these Days?Lifting aura can be fun. Your Erroneous Zones, 1977 by Wayne Dyer, shows how to make mistakes. The best way is to assume everyone has the same beliefs and experience.
GS, in the last sentence, leaves it to me to analyse. I say never mix politics and religion. Each is equally confusing as stand alone subjects.

Money is good. Without going into an autobiography, I was able to pay off tremendous debt at 63 to be debt free. Drinking Bennett Muscadine Wine and eating blue cheese and watching the NC sunset never felt so good. Summary: money is good debt is bad.

Money is mentioned more times in the Bible than any other subject. Correct? And Proverbs is the Christian Businessman's Chapter. You are right about the 20s and the Crash of '29. Buying stock with borrowed money was not prudent.
Different subject. The BCN Image Editor works as good as photoshop.

A cop arresting a teenager in a bikini is more important than Iraq and Hillary combined. I took my new neighbor from Ohio to the gun shop yesterday because his wife thinks we have riots often in the South.

I bought this photo without information. I was thinking of the Civil War story of Neptune Small on St. Simon Island Ga: a slave raised with the owner's sons and accompanied them to fight in Va. He brought one body home; returned to Va then home with the surviving son after the war and given part of the plantation.

Commented on Are Mule Blinders On Too Many these Days?No problem. GS and I cooperated on Deacon Notes and exchanged numerous photos.
This is Johnson Chapel 1890 in Hartselle Alabama. Many relatives are in the area. Some relatives preached there.

Commented on Conservatives Take Over the SBC --- More NC ResultsThe SBC seems far removed from the Baptist church I attend occasionally.
Is there any reason I should follow the SBC activities? I assume they affect pastors and seminaries more than autonomous churches.

Commented on Across North Carolina: Volume IXYou will always be able to shine a light through a negative and produce a photo.
It will be impossible to see our digital photos in 10 years unless you save the hardware and software for viewing. That is from a Netflix show archiving movies.

We cannot be Amish. Each denomination can make up rules. Sports have rules.
No rules no game. We need to go to Stan's articles for deep discussions. Room for interpretation blurs the lines.

Commented on Across North Carolina: Volume IXA liberal photographer is one who tries new equipment and techniques regardless of costs or results. A conservative photographer still uses a 1920 box camera.
A moderate like myself lives like an amphibian in both worlds. That came to me after a coffee overdose. Great photos.

Listening is a skill and some people are gifted. Solutions are elusive. Many of my listeners have no clue to a solution.

Thanks GS. I listen to about 5 lines of a song then drift. I know the words to one song -- Pretty Woman by Roy. Listening has driven many psychologists into other professions -- true story. Many pastors pray for hearing loss.
