What does it say about a nation and its educational system when Brave garners many times the audience than a movie about Lincoln? I, alas, am part of the problem. I have seen Brave but not the Lincoln story. I think the problem is that the vampires were not really cute men thus loosing the young female fan base. But how can they love vampires when they killed the president’s mother. And most of the world’s other major problems remain unsolved. But there was the great news that Sharp has introduced a 90 inch LED television set. Wow!! Think of what that can mean to the nation. It could cause a housing boom to make them big enough to hold the device. And remember that new house construction would contribute significantly to our economic recovery. Now if only it had a retina screen whatever that is.

Glad to read on Facebook that many of you are off for the summer, have found new employment, are in far away place, taking care of loved ones etc. And what about the Supreme Court’s decision.  I never expected Chief Justice Roberts would be the swing vote on this issue. And since most of you know the importance of the Commerce Clause in the expansion of Congressional power it is also surprising that the majority did not allow the individual mandate to be based on that clause. It is based on the right of Congress to pass a tax bill or something like that. Now we are going to see some very interesting political strategies from now until the election. I really enjoy watching the race unfold. Grasshopper, remember that there in no definitive answer to anything. It’s like eating right, working out both mind and body and then being hit by a meteorite on your foot causing you to fall backwards into a volcano. So don’t sweat the small stuff and there is no big stuff or that is what a drunken major once said in an officer’s club in Japan in the 1960’s.
