Emma Watson Vanity Fair- Feminism

Emma Watson Vanity Fair

Emma Watson claims in Vanity Fair that showing a portion of her breast was an example of feminism because it was her choice. Yet I wonder if she actually said to the photographer “Would you mind if I showed more of my breast?” or if the suggestion came from the photographer and staff of the magazine?  If someone suggests you do something and offers you benefits to do it are you actually making your own choice or are you being pulled to their choice?  For a prostitute is making “their own choice” and I dare think many would call this feminism?  When someone actual does something because they truly want to do it without any push/incentive from others (such as writing this blog piece) that is true freedom and if it’s a woman it’s feminism.

Tomatoes & The Barrier Reef

tomatoes as vegetable Barrier Reef in Fukishima

Some might believe that the discussion of whether Tomatoes are a fruit and vegetable and the Barrier Reef in Fukishima have nothing in common but I tend to disagree. For not only are these topics that people in Nevada are concerned about but so should we all think about as well.  Who really cares whether a Tomato is a vegetable or fruit well then who cares if a Nuclear Power Plant is set close to one of the world’s greatest reef’s.  As we know the Nuclear accident in Japan has caused unknown damage to one of the greatest natural wonders of the world because of poor planning and execution by those in charge.  Could we face the same dilemma by changing the status of a Tomato? You might think this is a silly question but this video (below) will demonstrate maybe it just isn’t?

Marine Le Pen?

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Uncategorized - No Comments

Marine Le Pen National Front

I’m not French but I can understand the appeal and disdain of Marine Le Pen from “The National Front” especially after watching a 60 minutes interview.  It appears she is a strong leader who believes that the national interest must come 1st before the world interests. This includes making sure the deals her country signs with others benefit the French people before they benefit the world community.   She believes that the French culture must be adopted by all and that is where the disdain comes from? Who is to determine what such culture is and how would you punish those who walk toward a different beat?  Is the public square really for the entire public or those who fit what the government considers the public should be? These are the questions I would balance if I was a French citizen and hopefully come to the right decision for the good of all the people who live in this beautiful country.

Father Knows Best American Dad

There was a time when T.V’s were black and white as father really knew best or at least we assumed so but with American Dad’s taking over nobody really is in charge. I’ve felt that I should let my children find their way but maybe such leeway has led me to the path of paying the bills way past my senior years.  I’m changing my tune and color as I realize that the one who pays the bills should have a greater say in how those monies are being spent and the direction that their children as well as  family as a whole are on.  It might not be as black and white as I like but the colors are definitely darkening and I must do a better job of taking the lead.  For the one who pays is the one who should have more of a say and make sure everyone is listening.

Seriously + Silly

Serious & Silly 1 Serious & Silly 2

Can you have a show that combines serious & silly together and still be on the air. Is it possible to combine SNL with Fox News Sunday and keep both audiences watching the entire show? I say so and will attempt to put together such a program in the near future. Never going to far on one side without resorting to a bit of the other. If it works it will be brilliant and if it fails well maybe I’ll still be sane.

edit

Throughout my over 5 years on this blog I have edited posts but never deleted them. That means there are certain posts here that will get me in trouble with almost everyone at some time and place if they could find them.  It also hopefully means I’ve inspired people to look higher and feel better when they were looking downward. The truth is I never know what the impact of these posts will bring I just know they won’t be deleted by me.

Media’s Bad Calculus AGAIN

JCC EvacuatedAlt Right

1            BOMB THREAT                                         1  – SUSPECT

 

Juan Thompson

= 4  ACTUAL SUSPECT

This was not the image the media wanted you to be looking at and to tell you the truth not the one you/I thought we’d be looking at as well. It reminds me of an old story told a bit shorter, where a doctor saves a child’s life and your startled to find out the doctor is his mom. We claim to be “open minded” but are we really? Did we actually believe that the suspect who called in bomb threats to Jewish community centers was going to be an African American Socialist Journalist named Juan Thompson? This is a story that we and the media should thoroughly investigate  because lately 1+1  has been equal to many 4’s.

FOOTNOTE- Juan Thompson is still just a suspect and should be considered innocent before thought of as guilty.

DANGER but not total regret

Person on top of car 1

I could have died or killed my best friend (at the time) but some how I don’t totally regret it. I guess it’s because nobody was actually hurt and it was something we could say or just know we did.  Me and my friend laid on top of the front of the car as the other person would drive down a local road. Now before you pass judgement on me this was done many, many moons ago and once it occurred it never happened again.  If one of us fell off during this stupid act the other would have seriously hurt or even killed them and since we weren’t tied down that easily could have occurred. For the moment we acted in this foolish way it was exhilarating, rebellious, and completely frightening.  Although I would never do it again and strongly recommend know one follow in these footsteps it was a step in who I am today even if the step was on a path that I wouldn’t follow today.
