Mt. Horeb Presbyterian Church in Bladen County, NC. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. A drawing my Father made of Mt. Horeb Church in the 1920's

This is one case where I hope the sheer incompetance of the lackies St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago has surrounded himself with comes to the fore. But I am not optimistic.

I like this photo of Shiloh Church, formerly a Methodist Church, now a community center. This is five photographs merged together so that I could keep the sky blue but still have the exposure right to see the Cross behind the pulpit in the third window. Near Troy, NC.

The grave of John Knox at Thyatira Presbyterian Church, a bit north of Salisbury, NC. John Knox is the g-grandfather of James Knox Polk, the 11th President. He was the g-g-g-g-grandson of John Knox, the founder of the Presbyterian Church.

If there was a campaign to rename the wing of Ft. Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in which St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago was serving his sentence after St. Donald, then I would contribute to that.

I don't care what the national ticket was in 1984, that Jim Hunt lost to Jesse Helms is a stain on the honor of North Carolina that will last long after North Carolina has ceased to exist. If you want to know who North Carolinians are and what North Carolina is, look no further than the 1984...

Sadly, when I looked the book up on Amazon, the prices start at $60 and go up from there.

Nothing even remotely similar to this happened when I was in school. But the following did happen and I don't think is scarred me for life. 1) In school we would practice air raid drills where we would crouch beneath our desks to "protect" ourselves from a nuclear weapon explosion. 2. I...

There is a series of, what I think are funny, ads on TV for Progressive Insurance warning people to stop acting like their parents. Two things first: 1) I like these ads and think they are funny. 2) I am the age of the parents in this ad, not the age of the persons the Progressive spokesman...

Agnes of Glascow. Agnes was a 20 year old girl who followed her love from Glascow to America. But she died, in Candem, SC, before every catching up with him. The soldiers buried her at midnight because the minister of the Prebyterian Church controlling the cemetery refused to allow her to be...

That's little deeper dive that what I was describing. But if there were such a company that sold the drugs you described directly to the persons using them in some sort of competitive market where the user had a choice, then yes, I do believe the sales force should "look like" the persons to...

Another aspect as to the "rainbowing" of Corporate America is that I believe that most American businesses want their employees to "look like" the customers they are serving. And as the customer base gets more diverse, the hiring corporation would be absolute fools if they failed to be sure...

Yeah, it's going to take a WHOLE LOT MORE that what I have seen to date for me to jump to some sort of "Woe is me, a poor, put upon, white male." The closest I have ever come to being descriminated against was once when I was interviewing for a job as a law student up north and the interviewer...

Calvin "Silent Cal" Coolidge. Supposedly while President, he once attended a format affair and a society matron approached him and said, "My friends bet me I couldn't get three words out of you." Cal replied, "You lose" and walked away.
