On the anniversary of Van Gogh's death

Vincent van Gogh: "I want to paint action. I want to paint life. I want to show the soul in nature - - the nobility in man.  But no one will ever know.  It's all wasted. Wasted. Wasted."

Why would anyone question Shakespeare's relevance?

Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you

Alexander Barnett as Lear and Eric Michael Smith as Edgar

I'm very pleased.   I Did Her Wrong (Filmscript Co-Screenwriter)  

Thoughts on Hunting

The Japanese call it cultural heritage. So, too, the Eskimos who hunt whales. I think anyone who claims to be a civilized human being should call it barbaric. And that includes sport hunting and the slaughter of animals so we can wear their skins or eat their flesh.

Considering Those in Desperate Need of Relief

Critical thinking and risk assessment needed urgently.  This country always overreacts.  https://www.statnews.com/2018/03/06/cms-rule-limits-opioid-prescriptions/

Racial Profiling

No one living in this country who is not a criminal should be living in fear of the police. It is disgusting. It won't stop without a torrent of public outrage.
