Xenophobia: Blaming the Stranger Among Us
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) This film is based on the 2018 coming of age book with the same title by Delia Owens. It’s not based on a true story (how could it?) and, in my opinion, it’s an allegory … Continue reading

I’m Beginning to Think that I’m Too Subtle Sometimes:
Let’s Start a Dialogue about the N-Word All joking aside, there are three recent posts of mine which attempted to connect the dots where harsh truth is concerned. The first was about Dred Scott, the second about Roe v. Wade … Continue reading

Playing the Cards You’ve been Dealt
The Gambler This song has been running through my mind for three days now. What am I missing?
