Things to Watch and Read 4-11-24

Art imitates Life and Life imitates Art.  Our movies and books warn us of past and impending mistakes and disasters. Our Documentaries teach us our history and the tendency to repeat our mistakes. Our News channels report on current events and our Google Searches give us access to details. We are all busy but need to identify trends and become “informed voters”, or we are doomed. We are all responsible for ourselves and need to work at things we are good at and love doing. 

Movies to Watch

A Clockwork Orange shows what happens when you are soft on crime.

Dr Zhivago shows what happens when the Communists take over.

Lord of the Flies shows the need for adult supervision of children.
