And that whole generation also feels itself monstrously entitled to everything because they're special.

I actually saw Hannity and Colmes arguing over whether Jesus would be a conservative or a liberal once. With Billy Graham's son (Billy Graham III, but goes by his middle name, Franklin) caught in the middle. Graham was smart enough to beg off the issue.

Probably a zip-code sort since it was a low end neighborhood then, but I ended up on a mailing list for 'prayer napkins' (small square of cheap paper with 'holy' matters printed on it) and the obvious request for dough. I filled the (postage-paid) envelope with probably a four or five ounces of sand and sent it back. In return came a brochure which has stuck in my mind; the cover showed an attractive black couple opening the front door (with obvious glee) to some white, damn, hippy. I'da shot him. _________________ Thanks, Ron L Re: Fox News hates Mr. Rogers Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 1:28 am   SamanthaMc As lovable as Eos! Woo hoo!

Superman, Spock (the Mister not the Doctor), Jesus ... When did I turn into the comics maven? I just read up on Superman Red/Superman Blue. I figure you're talking about this: [image linked from wiki] But I actually did know about a "Blue" Superman: [image linked from wiki] Which was easily one of the most obnoxious things I had noticed. I didn't read a lot on it--not a Superman fan. Superman rhymes with Cooperman. _________________ When one considers that our planet is doomed, at least as far as life is concerned, it is impossible to put meaningful value on the titanic forward struggle of life on Earth through billions of years.

Of course I was an older kid when the show started. I was probably 8 or 9 years old when it first aired. It needed more violence.
