My heart goes out to the Carter Family and I hope others take the opportunity to read some of his writings, and learn more about him as a person. And understand that his presidency was a service to this Country, not unto hisself and a launching point to his greater endeavors.

I have been drawn to his writings, more than any other President, because they seem written for the benefit of the reader - not the ego of the writer.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Posts like these are so bad and don’t help in any way. There is no hacker, and if there is, they have nothing. If there’s something, it’ll never be shared. If they had something, they’d release it. We may want something to exist, but it rarely does.
