I Voted TodayIn the United States, today is election day. No, we won’t be voting for a new leader to run out country, however, we will be voting for new governors, new members for the Senate and for the House of Representatives who are up for re-election or their terms have run out. At this time we also vote to retain local judges or to release them from their duties. School board initiative are also on the ballot as well as local health care bills. Various political parties support these initiatives and each have their own agenda. Whether you agree with a political party or not, vote your conscious and make the effort to participate in your own destiny.

George Washington was a member of what political party? Republican, Tory, Whig? None, really, because political parties were just developing during his
administration. The original political parties developed out of the need for organized groups of like-minded men (at the time). Alexander Hamilton, then the
Secretary of the Treasury, organized the Federalists. Thomas Jefferson, who did not agree with many of the policies of Hamilton, formed the Democratic
Republicans. This is the predecessor to the current Democratic Party. Other early parties included the Populist Party, also known as the “People’s Party”; the
Socialist Party; the Anti-Masonic Party; and the Whig Party. Abraham Lincoln was a Whig until the party fell apart in 1856. The pro-slavery Whigs became
Democrats, while the anti-slavery Whigs went with the newly formed Republican Party. Since 1860, the current format of Republican and Democratic parties
has been the norm. Continue reading →

  • Battlestar Galactica Viper Mark l August 30, 2021
    1977 was a big year for me.  Two great films came out that year. Roger Moore in A Spy Who Loved Me with that crazy Lotus Esprit that turned into a submarine. And, of course, Star Wars. With the Death Star, Tie Fighters and Y wings, and the iconic X Wing fighter. Now, most Star Wars aficionados know that John Dykstra was in charge of the special effects and w […]

  • The Cross of King Arthur | Reel Art August 10, 2021
     Archeology is the search for facts, not truth, So, When looking at the historical King Arthur, we, unfortunately, must put aside all the romantic characters and imagery that we have been exposed to throughout our lives. We forget the tales of knights in shining armor and start from scratch with the story of Arthur.I am not even sure if there was a King Arth […]
