Hope from a DVD
Kevin Dobson Jr.
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
I FIND MYSELF sitting here wondering where we all go next, with the state of the country over money issues, the recent accusation of Palin’s abuse of power in Alaska, and the market falling like Saddam’s statue a few years back. The only thing we can really be happy about right now is that gas prices are going down. Who thought I would say that, right?
Sitting here and thinking, I decide to pop in my “Jericho” DVDs and watch a post-apocalyptic world that, to be honest, doesn’t seem to be too far out there. This was a show that imagined a world were U.S. citizens were fighting to survive a nuclear holocaust. This affects the whole country, yet they find a way to beat it. Despite death, famine, brutal winters and total isolation, people come together and show us that anything you want to achieve can be done.
You’re probably sitting there in your rocker recliner thinking, “What the heck is this guy talking about, its just a TV show.” And you would be right, but it was a series that showed us ordinary people can still do extraordinary things. We are in a stage of crisis in this country, and we may be ordinary people, but, we are also one nation, free and brave, and even though we don’t always agree with our political leaders, we are all Americans. which to me is a beautiful thing.
Is it hard to let go of your favorite show? Of course it is, and to be honest “Jericho” was mine, but this show was something that could have really given us hope in these hard times. CBS messed up letting this show be canceled two different times, but just as Johnston Green’s flag stated in the second season, “Don’t tread on us.”
We are Americans and we will get by.

Good one, notasheeple. Zeitgeist may cause problems with some people's belief systems. My father read a great deal and I remember him talking about these things and my mother wigging out. His brother stopped speaking to him. The parish priest and my dad used used to converse about this as it relates to theology. They studied together. The others? Poor uninformed people. Thanks for the link. I hope others can view this with an open mind.

Wow… Create that must have brought up a lot of memories.
People won’t Talk about it, I’m surprised you did. ( Pro 1:5 )
Create.. I mean no disrespect, but for knowing what you know, you have fallen into the trap ( Pro 1:10 ).
Remember give credit where credit is due.
The Movie Addendum on that link should be watched by Everyone.
People don’t know, Nikola Tesla, but they Should.. No.. They know Thomas Edison… Why.. They are programmed to know him, but Not Tesla!
As for people and there open minds..
More like programmed minds, They see nothing past there nose/greed/media and you can‘t even talk to them or suggest something to be “not right”. They just keep to there programmed ways and you get laughed at, but they for themselves haven’t even looked into it ( Pro 1:22-24 ), and for them to be laughing is a Loud Cry For Help ( Pro 1:26-33 ).
( Pro 1:7 )
The Shep-Herd has spoken. ( Pro 1:12-17 )

My dad was a sonar technician and worked for civil service at Pearl Harbor before he went into his own business of selling and repairing radios and televisions. This was when TV first came out. Oh yeah, I'm sure he knew Tesla. I wish I had asked him more now.
I remember him explaining the speed of light and the speed of sound to me when I did a report on the atomic bomb when I was in high school and asked why a Japanese fisherman 20 miles out to sea saw the flash but did not hear the explosion. But you know, when we're young we never learn enough from our folks because we think we know it all.
I will go back to Zeitgeist to see what you mean.

Lets just remember that under the “first amendment” The Press… Well you should know!
