We taped the movie "The Astronaut Farmer", staring Billy Bob Thornton, and finally watched it last night. It's a movie built on fiction, of a farmer who builds his own rocket ship into outer space, in his barn.

Not just the "Lucy Show", the one after "I Love Lucy", but "I Married Joan", with Joan Davis and Jim Backus, which was just as big as "I Love Lucy", "My Little Margie", with Gail Storm, and "Hey Mulligan", with Micky Rooney.

Prejudices can take all forms. Their not just racial issues, but all kind of issues. You might not like someone because of where they come from or from what side of the 'tracks' they're born on. It might be because someone weighs too much or not enough. Maybe some is rich or poor, educated or uneducated. Even coming from a different part of the country can be a source of prejudice. Folks might think people from the south talk funny! I lived in Colorado once and people ...
