    George Lucas Is Ready to Roll the Credits

    Unlikely because his oldest daughter will likely take over the business, and she is a staunch support of his work. And I actually liked Crystal Skull a lot. Considering the boxoffice that his movies still make, I think there are far more people who like what he is doing with his films that...

    My parents did their home in Colonial Revival in the mid 50's. In the last few years I lamented to my mom that if they had decorated in the Mid Century Modern style, she would have a small fortune on her hands today. Her reply was that stuff was considered "cheap" at the time! Doug

    Yep very true creative fields were a place where women could move to the top. The head of the editorial department of MGM for 30 years was a women who's name I now can not remember. Then of course there is Edith Head who created her own empire in the film industry. My mom worked at the...

    At the start of world war 2 women in the United States made up 25% of the work force, so clearly SOME women were choosing to work. Granted they were mostly school teachers and secretaries, but they were working outside of the home. That rate rose to 36% by the end of the war. And while it...

    Yeah in the 70's I was told that margarine was better for me than butter. Then it wasn't. Then I was told in the 80s that Alar on apples was going to kill me, oops that was untrue also too. Oh eggs are going to raise your cholesterol . Opps eggs don't raise your...

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not beating up on the over weight. Hell I could stand to lose a few lbs myself. I'm just saying that people make choices in their lives and they should be responsible for those choices. Its no ones fault but your own if you or your children are over weight. We used to...

    Quality produces is available in every town and city in America. Its just a matter of buying it rather than the junk. Additionally if you only have $5 a day to buy food for your family, there is this thing called food stamps where a family of 4 gets something like $1000 a month to buy food. Doug
