Of course I've seen a few small clips on the Daily Show but they only served as the set-up for a joke. I truly don't get how America has become so absorbed in this type of entertainment disguised as news. The scariest part is that there are so many out there who lap it up and take it all for truth. It seems that there is so much hatred and mistrust when it comes to politics. We sometimes simplify and romanticize the past but, still, I wonder if this weren't the case fifty years ago.Mr. Hass' Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966423580619691843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-28799992725910469122010-07-11T19:43:13.869-07:002010-07-11T19:43:13.869-07:00Tim, Tim, Tim, You give everybody the benefit ...Tim, Tim, Tim, You give everybody the benefit of the doubt, don’t you!<br /><br /><b>It may be that he just speaks before he thinks</b><br /> <br /> ..........whatever.<br /><br />Of course it could be that he will change. People do, you know. I did.<br /><br />You and I were talking just today at FNB about the fact that Asa Carter must have changed from being a racist in order to have written that beautiful book <i>The Education of Little Tree</i> that we both love so much. So maybe there is hope for Mr. Beck after all.<br /><br />Jim Wallis is awesome. He is my social justice hero. My favorite book of his (He has written at least 8) is <i>The Great Awakening</i>. He says that the two most intense longings of this world are the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for social justice. I think he is right.Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345722113065788774noreply@blogger.com
