Slum Dog Millionaire What did you think?

Google
Slum Dog Millionaire took ten oscars!
What did you make of it?
Acclaim from two best friends sent me galloping over there...
The music , photography, and dance were wonderful...
I ahd not been prepared for the pathos and despair; not to mention the extreme events..
how about you?

Ode to Rudyard Kipling, If, Level thinking

"If you can keep your head
While all those around you
Are loosing theirs And Blaming it on you..."
Except from "If" by Rudyard Kipling

I memorized this poem in second grade...please Google it.
It is a source of reflection for me...
Do you think that people are using level thinking these days?
If not, would it help?

One of the most important things in my life is good friends.. friends who bestow upon you kind remarks at times when my fortune appears bleak...
Such was my good fortune this week...
If you are my good friend ...Thank Heavens!
And thank you!

What do you think are our rights? (Bill of Rights)

"My Country, 'tis of thee, Statue of Liberty, of the I sing...
....Long shall our land be bright
With freedom's holy light
Protect us with thy might
To Thee we sing"...

People.... What are your rights?
We have a Bill of Rights in this country that is scared to me
because it was won with the blood and sacrifices
of our forefathers...
so... you tell me which ones count for you the most!
I hope some of our other friends will consider which rights mean the most for them too...
Do we as a people want to give any of these up?
