CarlKnittel I have to agree here and add a little bit. I believe one of the worst things we did to our education system was dropping shop classes. They aren't completely extinct yet but they are heading there and schools are steering students away from such pursuits more...

I answered a request on Hub pages that got me thinking about the simplicity of my favorite toys. You can look it up yourself if you need more info but, the basics was this. My top 5 toys were boxes, sticks, blankets, army men...

CarlKnittel I know that feeling. Most of my "toys" are grown up but one of my favorites is my 75th anniversary edition Red Ryder BB gun. No, I did not shoot my eye out. But I did buy it for myself for Christmas several years ago.

CarlKnittel "think pieces" can be good. It's not how the US does cops though. This version is more like Alien Nation. It a standard Cop show with action and drama that adds a sci-fi twist to keep you thinking outside the box. Probably quite a difference from the British...

CarlKnittel America can have a rough time recapturing the chemistry and comedy of a lot of British shows but crime dramas and Sci-Fi are hard not to improve on. Police dramas have been the stock and trade of American Television from the beginning and the BBC has never...

CarlKnittel I can see that working. Aside from the stories you can think of between horses themselves I suppose it's like playing with toy cars and imagining the drivers. Of course with all the horse stories out there it the horses can easily replace people in our...

I'm more than a little hot under the collar. Last night I caught another news story where the media tried to paint missionaries as criminals for spreading the gospel. In fact I was mad enough to write an...

CarlKnittel History shows us that a number of religions have tried to use force to convert others. Radical Islam is doing so almost daily with acts of terrorism. Think of it like a contract. Would you trust a person to fulfill his end of a contract when he signs it at...

CarlKnittel I keep telling her, with all the aches and pains and problems I think I might be older than her. Of course I'm mentally quite young unless I think about all the little kids I remember that now have teenagers of their own.
