Book Review - They Called US Enemy

My Daughter works at the Henderson Library system and recommended I read this graphic novel by George Takei.  It's about his time as a child when he and his family were forced to live in Japanese Interment camps during World War II.  This novel shows you that Fear and Hysteria can get us to do some really rotten things to our fellow citizens/Residents. What a lot of people forget or don't know is that during this time, American citizens who were of Japanese descent were required to live in the 10 camps because of the fear and hysteria generated by our own government. This is a quick, engaging novel, so I highly recommend spending a day or two reading it to gain insight into our past from a fellow citizen of the United States.

While I was reading this, it made me think of what we are doing with our undocumented immigrants and sometimes our fellow citizens who happen to be of the same complexion as those being rounded up. It feels like we are going backwards instead of remembering our past.

I have grown fond of Uncle George over the years. He has a lot of courage and is not afraid to stand up and fight for what he knows America stands for

For all the good the United States has done throughout our history, we can never forget that we have done some truly rotten things to our own people.

Supporting A Family

The prospective son-in-law was asked by his girlfriend's father, "Son, can you support a family?"
"Well, no, sir," he replied, caught off-guard by the question. "Your daughter and I were thinking we'd just have to support ourselves, the rest of you will have to fend for yourselves."

The Food Search Diet

I do not believe in diets. The closest I've been to a diet is erasing the food searches from my browser history.

"Hey, cabby! How much to take me to the station?"
"Five bucks, sir."
"And how much for my suitcase?"
"No charge for the suitcase, sir."
"Okay. Take the case and I'll walk."

The Pain of Childbirth

A mom and her children watched a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. One fascinated child asked, "Mom, does that hurt?"
"Oh, yes, it does," she said, remembering her difficult deliveries.
"Wow," said the kid. "Does it hurt the mother, too?"
