The deniers can deny it, the others can be for it.  Might be interesting discussion.  Reminds me of the Grapes of Wrath.

I was also reminded of the Grapes of Wrath and recently read that book for the first time. Thanks for the reminder about the PBS series, I'll be watching.

Saw this just in time. Me too. I've read about the - Dust Bowl. It was dreadful. nm

Sam's Club Pub BurgerAug 04, 2015
Hi everyone, Has anyone ever had a Pub Burger from Sam's Club? Not the Bubba Burger, the Pub Burger. Hubby and I took a bite and we simultaneously said "Lestoil." It was awful. I threw mine in the garbage disposal. He ate his. I have no idea if they soaked the meat in Lestoil because it was going bad, if they didn't rinse the mixing bowl of some type of cleaner (like Lestoil), or if there's a spice out there that tastes like Lestoil. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has ...

Nine In Ten Of My Liberal Friends Are On Some Sort Of Psychiatric Medication.Feb 21, 2017
I don't think this is a coincidence.  They aren't shy about talking about it, either.  I mean, I'm all for medication to treat an illness, including mental illness, but I wouldn't broacast it.  What happened to pride?  It's like having a mental illness or a disorder is a badge of honor.  I am all for being oneself and having confidence, however, that used to mean having ethics, integrity, working hard and helping others.  Now it means being ...

O'Keefe Documentary Claims To Uncover College Support Of ISIS Support ClubApr 02, 2015
So, I read on a friend's private conservative blog elsewhere that James O'Keefe, a conservative documentary filmmaker, had just "caught red-handed" some college administrators at a university in Florida who were "encouraging and supporting" ISIS supporters.  I like my friend, but, erm, I don't always agree with his politics and  I'm not so sure his assertion is actually the case on this one.  In fact, the blog author wrote his post based on his assumption on a ...

was wondering if anyone else has read and what they thought.  Heresy or enlightening?  For a while now, I've been looking for a deeper, more personal relationship with God, but haven't been able to find it.  I hear testimony from fellow Christians about this wonderful relationship they have with God.  How they talk to Him and they can feel His presence and He responds maybe not verbally, but they "hear" Him.  So a friend, who isn't a churchgoer but spiri ...

A Book Every MT Should ReadJun 09, 2013
Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. Since so many of us, of course, can no longer afford to buy luxuries like books, it's worth mentioning that your public library almost certainly will have it (though there's likely to be a waiting list, even though it was first published in 2001). For those who persist in blaming others here on MTStars who are struggling with our new working-poor reality, saying that the problem is their "attitude," another Ehrenreich book, Bright-Sided, also w ...

Obama Has The Book Thrown At HimOct 11, 2010
This is the astonishing moment a book was apparently hurled at the head of President Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia. The flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday. It is not clear what the book was, where it came from in the crowd, or why it was thrown at Mr Obama - who did not appear to notice the danger. Duck, Mr President! A book narrowly misses Barack Obama's head after it is thrown on stage during a rally in Philadelphia today ...

Appalled At Book In B&N And Its PlacementJun 27, 2011
I am not a goody two shoes or a puritan, but  a Barnes & Noble I was in this weekend has the new book "Go the F to Sleep" at the very bottom of the escalator on a shelf so that when children are leaving the upstairs children's section, it is at eye level for them to see. I glanced through the book, was completely disgusted by it, asked for a manager, made my complaint and handed him the 7 books in my arms to him and asked him to please re-shelve them as I would spend my money elsew ...
