Op-Ed by Marsha

warning:  this is my opinion of a subject I've chosen.

while you, my dear readers, may have a different opinion I will be happy to hear it
if it is offered in a sensitive way,
in other words, no ranting/raving, but you wouldn't do that anyway, I know.

choosing the subject has been difficult as there are SO MANY SUBJECTS
which need to be examined

but first, there's a book you must read

Cover art

of course, there are DOGS, because the hero loves dogs and has a dog shelter in his hometown,
but the hero is also a lawyer, and he is pressed into defending someone accused of murder,
and he thinks he's innocent.

the writing is witty, I have out-right laughed in some places, and understand the dynamic
between husband, wife, children and dogs.

please believe me, it is not a waste of time, 
in fact it IS VERY GOOD.

next, I've been seeing many older movies on NetFlix or TV,
recording them on DVD so I can watch when I have time,
and I have a few to recommend:

CHEF
total surprise here, very cute, very funny and also heartwarming
some very famous cameo appearances too
it's a family movie

HOME AGAIN
Reese Witherspoon returns to her father's home in LA, a lovely divine home,
after deciding to divorce her husband who lives in NYC.
very cute, Candace Bergman is her mother who makes arrangements
for 3 young wannabe film producers to move into her guest house.
take it from there.


you see, I've had to turn off the News Channels because they are no longer NEWS,
they are OPINIONS.
perhaps FOX is news, but they have opinions also.
I, for one, am able to make my own decisions, and I have my own opinions,
so I'm completely dismayed to see what CNN has become, when I used to watch it all the time.
opinions are not news.
and most of the opinions espoused on CNN are not in agreement with my opinions.

I have no idea where one finds real news today.
News where the facts of the story are told, such as they are, without someone's
opinion of the transpiring news.
I have lots of friends who are only too happy to share their opinions with me,
and for the most part, I trust what they have to say.

I'm worried that maybe our schools are brainwashing our children, educating them in a very liberal
way, and a way which may be contradictory to the way we were educated or brought up,
because the colleges are filled with liberal leaning professors, and unless the student
buys into and then takes tests given by this professor, in order to pass the tests the students
must comply with the professor's thoughts.

so, now, more than ever we have a huge responsibility to our children to make them
aware of your beliefs as a parent, and to make them aware of what they actually face once out of college and try to become employed in the workplace.

so indoctrination of the students into a left-leaning teaching staff is inevitable isn't it?

I cannot even be certain if Texas schools fall into this category because it's been awhile
since my children were in school.
but now I have 5 little grandchildren, they all go to private school now, but who knows
what they might choose in the future for a higher education.

if this what's happening, or is this what's being reported by the "media?"

I really don't know !!
