There was a subtle evil underlying everything in To Kill a Mockingbird, but the difference in that day and age was that the coming-of-age stories came from glimpses of other people's lives. Boo Radley, and the whole clan, just weird. Ms. Doboise, fighting morphine addiction in her dying days. The story of what went on in that shanty-shack. But, no faults to Atticus Finch - truly the best dad who ever lived. |

Kudos, Timber, I totally agree.
There was a subversive evil in that movie, and probably our country at the time, but we still had standup guys like him to look up to. I think the days of Jimmy Stewart are over, but we can be our own heros if we make the right choices in life.

As for "honest and moral" ,I have to ask by which set of morals are we going to be measuring?If I get to chose then I opt for useing the ideas put forth by Aleister Crowley.Where people have moral,bodily,mental, and sexual freedon and where "Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law". I dont need politicians and religious leaders telling me how to think or be. My opinion on the presidency is that last time around the welfare set got their president when they got Bill Clinton because he is just like them. He lied, cheated,ran around on his wife, and blamed everyone else for his ills. Now the ultra conservative stick up their ass religious nuts have their president.George Bush is just like them because he doesnt cheat on his wife,forces christianity on anyone with in earshot ,looks down on anyone who appears to be diffrent,and has the I.Q. of a turnip. Hopefully next time around we will get a normal president who doesnt go to extremes and who isnt out to rule the world, just to do his job.

Perhaps one of you Texicans could pop down and ask him a question on my behalf. Somewhere along the lines of 'Why were you preaching about family values when you were screwing behind your wife's back' or 'did you ever get down and dirty with Anne Widdecombe' (just for Epona)

He was elected because he was seen to be a 'decent man' - so it is my business. My maxim to him would be: "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

I don't care what people get up to in their private lives unless they are trying to tell me how to live mine. If it turns out that they don't practise what they preach then they are fair game.

Only life is for life. The bit 'till the end of it is called living - not merely existing, but being able to change. Hiding under a rock is not seeing one's options and blindly going along with what passes for "moral values" in this brief moment of time. Neuro
