HISTORY AND THE NEWS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The man who almost single-handedly propelled us into the 20th Century with his inventions in audio (phonograph), lighting (incandescent bulb), electricity to the home, telephone carbon transmitter, motion picture camera (kinetoscope), and the first full length feature movie (The Great Train Robbery) is not even known to most school kids.  But try to find one who doesn't know Michael Jordan.  What's wrong with this picture?

The Chair

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This came to me in a dream. Unfortunately the poem in the dream was better than what I could remember of it.  This poem asks the question of the validity of capitol punishment.  I used to be strongly for it, but now realize how valuable all life is.

Pray for campaign finance reform but don't expect much.  The foxes are guarding the henhouse.
