Another great film

The wife and I watched, Lawless last night. This was a very good movie. Shia Laboeuf is great in it and I loved the setting. A quick prep: the film is set in prohibition Virgina where moonshine is flowing and the gangs of Chicago are killing each other over the profits. A small family of moonshiners, the Bondurants' are doing fine. They have an honest but tough reputation and are not interested in the gangs or their corrupt politicians. Especially not the police coming in setting up moonshine networks. As a consequence they are confronted with the corrupt police and have to respond accordingly.

This movie is based on a true story and a great book called, The Wettest County In The World. I recommend two things, one, read the book. Two, enjoy the movie, we did.

The Book

Election 2008 - A groundbreaking election

I’ve been thinking about the presidential election this year and no matter what happens it will be groundbreaking to say the least.

If we elect McCain then we have the first female Vice President in the history of our country. In turn; if we elect Obama we have the first minority as president in the history of our country.

Either way this will be an exciting and groundbreaking election.

This should finally put an end to many issues in the US. Could this be the end of racism and the question of equal rights for women?

What do you think. Post a comment.
