I signed up the other day for Audible. The first book I took was “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (unabridged) I have listed to part 1 but still have a lot of hours to go.
I also got “The Water is Wide” by Pat Conroy. I loved the movie made from the book. The movie was “Conrack” which I can not even find on Netflix or Hulu or anyplace else. I have seen the movie a number of times.
I do not remember the word “nigger” in the movie. I suspect it was there a few times. But the book is filled with the word. If I had a dollar for each time it is used in the book I would be a rich man.
I listen to the book on my computer. When I get an android cell phone I will select it as a mobile device and I can listen to the books on the cell phone. That would work out good when I am walking, riding the bus or waiting in the doctor’s office.
Jon Voight stars in the movie. When he was young he was about as left wing and liberal as you can get. Now in his old age he is right wing and about as crazy as you can get.
Jon Voight said on April 27, 2007 about President Bush:
"And they — what I hear, you know, talking about our president. When I hear people saying quite unthinkable things about our president, when I see our president defaced, which is defacing our country. He's the leader of our country. He's the leader of the free world. It — my heart is very heavy."[20]
Jon Voight later said about President Obama (2009):
"I'm here to validate all the millions of people who are opposed to the Obama healthcare. We're witnessing a slow and steady takeover of our true freedoms. We're becoming a socialist nation, and Obama is causing civil unrest in this country...
"The stimulus didn't work.... We're being told what cars we can drive, how much we can make....
"Obama has made this [healthcare] a personal crusade now.... As we can see it really is about him. He is arrogant and he's adamant that he's going to get this passed....
"He's trying everything, even the so-called God card. If you love God, he tells us, then it's your duty to vote this healthcare bill in....
"They're taking away God's first gift to man. Our free will."[23]
