Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States on Showtime
A look back at the underreported events that shaped American history.
I love documentaries. I watch them to unwind, even though sometimes they wind me up. I caught something on my Twitter feed about Oliver Stone’s Untold History of the United States.
I am a recovering racist and I have several friends from the USA who help me come to terms with my prejudice. In conversations with them and through being a witness to their attempts to live lives of justice and compassion, I am challenged to hold my judgmental fire and try to understand. It helps to try and discern, rather than jumping to conclusions all the time. You’d think I will get this sooner or later.
I checked out the documentary and am finding it inspiring, disturbing, informative, provocative and fascinating. If you get a chance, see if you can catch an episode or 10 (there’s only 10 in the series).

So after about 2 years on Posterous, they are finally shutting down after being purchased by Twitter. As of today, I will be using Tumblr as my blog hosting facility.
It came down to Tumblr and Blogger. I chose Tumblr because the Blogger Android app was positively archaic by comparison. Let’s see how things go.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you find anything missing from this blog (as a result of the transfer) please let me know asap and I will have a look to see what went wrong in the conversion process.
