Hollywood

Or Hollyweird, Horrorwood, Hellywood etc.  It is quite a collection of oddities, many evil some just eccentric.

All cities have this but because of showbiz, it's most evident there.

No doubt the loudmouth collectivists control a great deal od Tinseltown.  But not all.  And so many crew, and other branches including actors are Freedom minded.  Don't throw the baby out with the bath.

The collectivists try to make it look like all are like them.  Lies and half truths.  There are many identifiable Liberty loving and espousing people in the Industry and they go about the work of Freedom, some openly, others covert.

There are those who are well placed and thus speak and act openly.  They don't need the machine or the machine counts bucks.  Some are quiet because they are lower on the totem pole. and some have suffered.

So when folks call for eradicating Hollywood, they would take out the good with the bad.

Just be selective.  Pick and choose, Think for yourselves.

Uphold the good in showbiz.  Eschew the bad.

I know people become frustrated and want a cure all.  Life is more textured.

Naturally the bad hides among the good or at least hopes the good keeps destruction away.  Sound like terrorists huh?

Keep supporting the good.  The bad has suffered and if we keep it up will be defeated.

Hooray.

Miss

Someone I know is moving to Hollywood.  I'm not gonna miss her.  Why?  She's not disappearing.

People move for all kinds of reasons.  She has hers and it's none of my business.

People are more available than ever.  If they switch from 10 miles to 2,000 miles, they are still accessible.

We miss usually what we either cannot have anymore or are transitioning.  I believe we at least have memories of those passed, if not spirit.  It's the physical, touch and sight we miss.

Memory is why love never dies along with spirit. 

Of course miss can refer to miss the mark, an archery term applied to a kind of sin in the Bible.

We fall short, zig when we should zag or flub our dubs.  We learn and do better.

Perfect your aim -s-.

I missed meeting a certain actor.  The opportunity arose to meet again and it worked.

OTOH there are times we don't miss anything. Better to associate or do otherwise.

And sometimes we don't miss a thing aka hit the mark every time.

Am I missing something or are we still working on Restoring the Republic?

Reread the above lol.

Unhinged.

A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. Samuel Adams

It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail.  Samuel Adams

Quite an upswing in bad manners to say the least.  And lack of virtue, well that speaks for itself.

There is rot from within.  Standard collectivist tactic.  Subversion.  Dissolution.

If we loose our moorings we become rudderless and easy prey for those who seek to control.

These days there is a downswing with some.  The behavior is at least psychopathic and at worst demonic.  It is a prelude to war.  Then again there has always been a war, first in heaven now here.

Do not despair.  Do not give up.  And do not be afraid.  We beat the enemy this way.

Don't give them what they want.  Give them what we want.

Suicide

Self inflicted fatality.  So many nuances.

I was teaching a Sunday school class with junior high age kids.  One of them asked if people who commit suicide go to hell.

Kids ask tough questions.  And they should.  I thought a moment and said it would depend.  It was taught taking one's life was a sin.  I had no black and white answer.  Maybe that's wishy washy.  Maybe not.  I'll leave it up to God.

Perhaps I shouldn't delineate but say a Hitler kills himself.  Guilty of great evil, he eliminates capture but I believe plunged right into hell.

Pedro Armendariz killed himself.   Wracked with pain of terminal cancer, he finished his work on From Russia With Love and shot himself in the hospital.  His death would have been even more slow and painful.  He was spared more pain and his family spared the rest of his deterioration.  Tough call?

And as for current trends, I believe people are left without coping skills, along with little or no thinking skills.  Or no one stepped in to help for many reasons.

I've counseled potential suicides and also those left after an act.  I let them do most of the talking and listened.  Listened.  I guided them to think for themselves in order to get better.

Nations commit suicide.  They give slowly up.  Then they capitulate.  Look at Europe particularly.

Different kettle of fish.  Yes but they lose their way by subversion, giving up.

All I can say is listen and do what we can to save lives.
