GOP convention
The GOP convention (which the 3 broadcast networks did not carry and I had to watch on C-SPAN) was fantastic. It was nice to see people saying what was right with the country rather than whining about what they thought was wrong with the country.
The stories by the 3 women touched by the 9/11/01 tragedy, the passerger's wife, the pilot's sister, and the firefighter's widow were quite moving. What inspiring stories of courage and selflessness. Each of those men is indeed a hero. Remember what makes this nation strong, it is not the UN it is not France, it is not Germany, it is Americans.
Tomorrow is primary day in Florida. I know for whom I am going to vote as I have researched the candidates, read about them, read their campaign material and consulted the questions and answers at the Florida Catholc newspaper. Pro-life candidates are those getting my vote. While that is not the only issue about which I am concerned, all of the candidates for whom I conidered voting share my view on abortion.
It is growing clearer every day that the nation is not as liberal as the media would have us believe. We are entertained by Hollywood, but we don't want to be them nor emulate their disgusting ways.
The Passion of the Christ comes out tomorrow. My library has its order in, does yours?

Well, I haven't ordered for MY library. I don't think any of the kids are actually old enough to watch it (according to the ratings system in the province).
As to the public library, as far as I can tell by searching the provincial databases, the only library system in the province that has ordered it is the Halifax Regional Library. My regional library system doesn't have it ordered. They did, however, recently acquire the movie Maurice on dvd when I suggested it for purchase. I'm sure if someone suggested it, they'd get it in, as they do have a book of pics from the movie.
I have no desire to see that particular movie and will never watch it. It's not because of any anti-semitism that may be in the movie or anything like that. It just holds no interest for me. *shrug*

I just suggested it for purchase for our regional library. I did NOT place a hold on it.

I'll watch it because I want to see if it is a violent as I have been told (Jesus chainsaw massacre I've been told) and I want to hear people speak Aramaic.
