This quote emerged from Steve Carter's experience of letting go of everything he had known and worked towards when he offered his resignation from a church leadership position in the wake of abuse allegations against the senior pastor, Bill Hybels. From this, the conversation explores the concept of resilience and how leaders are formed in the crucible of change and suffering.

I also cover the consultation on the future of analogue community radio, and note that social gain is the primary...

Now I've Heard EverythingJames WatsonIn 1953, an earnest and ambitious 25-year-old scientist nmaed James Watson made a groundbreaking discovery that helped revolutionize science, medicine, even the law.
Working alongside Francis Crick, Watson identified the double-helix structure of DNA.
That breakthrough earned Watson and Crick the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1962. Watson wrote a book explaining the double helix.
I met him in 2002, when he published another book, which he called "enes, Girls, and Gamow." That was a reference to George Gamow, a pioneering theoretical physicist who contributed to, and built on, Watson and crick's work.

The University of Billy"Why are Republican Presidents So Bad for the Economy?"This is the exact title of a New York Times piece from yesterday. It is based on a study by 2 Princeton economics professors. It's based on 2 numbers - GDP and employment. Since FDR the economy grows more under democrat presidents and lest under republican. Bill Clinton was their main example. Due to deficit government spending he raised taxes which led to an economic boom while he was president. My business boomed while he was president, I assure you, it was not because of federal tax increases.

Grover Cleveland, a true conservative, was famous for his many vetoes while president. The most famous was the Texas Seed Bill to help farmers deal with a terrible drought. He vetoed this bill because it was his belief that it was unconstitutional to make the federal government a charitable institution, taking money from some to give to others.

It has been a 100 years since women were given the right to vote and, in case you haven’t noticed, this is a time of hyper racial tension. Harriet Tubman was a heroic woman who was behind the underground railroad among other things. Historically, Andrew Jackson was against paper money.

Both received education deferments and a medical deferment in 1968, the bloodiest year of the Vietnam War. Bill Clinton and George Bush were also unique draft evaders. Military service should not be a requirement to be president, but it is the greatest example of unselfish service and sacrifice for others.

I would be eating out at my favorite restaurants today if I could, in spite of the pandemic. The key is to stay away from bats, subways, nursing homes, prisons, and to get outside! Building up the immune system is better than any government aid package.

The University of BillyDid You Hear about the Rigged Republican Primary in Iowa?Did you even know there was a republican primary or caucus in Iowa? Donald Trump won against Bill Weld and Joe Walsh. It was not close. Walsh accused republicans of rigging the election. The drama cannot compare with the democrat caucus disaster, but at least we can think about something else for a few minutes.

We need Hillary to run again. To have a better chance to win as a Democrat she needs to play the victim card. The “me too” movement happened since 2016. Maybe she could claim that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she attended his and Melania’s wedding.

Bernie is used as a social equalizer, allowing Larry (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard (Jonathan Silverman) to freely hob-nob with 80s “elites,” while Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) is used as a literal swiss army knife to help Hank (Paul Dano) out of any number of situations.

His most recent (and last) full-length feature film was “Paprika”. This film I wanted to revisit for awhile, and what better way to do that but through Double Bill?
