I watched a movie last night. Twice. In a row. I watched it because
someone here had made mention that they were reading the book. I watched it
the second time because I had missed a couple of scenes due to **** breaks,
getting a beer, and interruptions by SWMBO.

I halfway expected something like Secondhand Lions. It definitely was not.

The movie left me disturbed. A little bit of that feeling after you've seen
or been in a bad accident. A feeling that for the grace of God, there go I.

It left me in a mood to ponder some of the questions asked in the movie, an
some of the points left unresolved.

What it did leave me with the most was the realization that at times, we are
all sometimes only inches away from very evil people and things.


Very true indeed.

It makes me want to carry my gun more often.

If you haven't seen it, watch it, or read it. If you don't like blood and
gore and edge of your seat tension, don't partake.

The movie may change your view on the people sharing oxygen with you, and
just how close they are in reality.


Sometimes is really spooky if one opens their eyes.

Later, there was a special on Drugs, Inc. The meth situation in this
country is frightening. The whole drug thing is frightening. And, as in
this movie, there is a small chance that a ripple from its evil pond may
flow into your life.

Meth is not what it was in the 90s..fortunately. But its still VERY big.

The figures quoted were incredible. And now, one person can make one batch
in a two liter bottle.

If all the money spent on drugs in this country was applied to more
constructive things, we'd be out of the woods this afternoon. I wonder when
society and the government will start waking up to this fact, and just start
shooting the *******s.

LOL. Probably.

Here is Texas it's illegal to sell metal gas cans because they were so
in demand for meth labs.

You could probably say the same thing about birthday cakes and
birthday balloons.
