2 Movies

This week Serenity and I went and saw "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" at the theater. Serenity loved it! It was nice and wholesome and taught that you don't have to be big or strong or especially smart to do the right thing and to be a hero. It is clearly directed at the very young group but it's watchable by an adult, if I qualify as an adult :-)

At home we watched "The Last Mimzy" on DVD. That was a great movie! It was OK for the little one while being engaging for the adults in the house. It was a nice blending of magic and science fiction too, things that looked like magic were actually produced by science in the end. It also taught a nice lesson on the dangers of the "Homeland Security" police state we have in America today, the intervention of the government thugs produced howls of displeasure from Serenity, Lora and I, Mike just looked annoyed, he really hates it when we harp on the evils of the government. ;-/

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink).

There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
