A Freestyle Thursday...
So I decided to peruse my Connexions profile this morning and see what the latest news stories were being posted. Come to find out that there is more issues with the latest NBC TV show, The BOOK OF DANIEL. Seems that GLAAD is worried that the conservative groups will pull weight with the local NBC affiliates and have the show pulled of the air.
Honestly, I don’t know why the conservative groups are putting up such a fight. Do they wish to live with their heads in the sand and ignore the fact that they are not as perfect as they seem? I know several leaders of the faith with gay children; drugs seem to be predominant in today’s youth; and most kids are sleeping around. Scandal is not a new thing here, people. I never did fully understand the gay Republican thing, but I do accept it. After all, one of my closest friends is a Republican. My roommate seems to abhor their presence almost…he thinks that they turn their backs on the gay values, but I don’t see it that way. Anyway, I am not getting involved in that debate again.
But, I do look forward to trying to catch the show this Friday night. The local NBC station apparently has already run a new story on the issue, and the station manager has already stated that he will not censor the show in any manner. That is good to hear, but frankly, I want to see a TV show that does not fill all the gay stereotypes.
Have a great Thursday!
Not the owner of many possessions will you be right to call happy: he more rightly deserves the name of happy who knows how to use the Gods' gifts wisely and to put up with rough poverty, and who fears dishonor more than death. ~Horace (65-8 BC) Roman Poet
"Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life, I vow to cultivate compassion and learn ways to protect lives of people, animals, plants, and minerals. I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life." ~Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh
Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. ~Henry Ford (1863-1947) American Industrialist
