Can we add "Yet, again-amazing" to the title?

Done!

As some of you may know by now, I'm kind of a big movie guy. I liked the movie 'Signs'. Not universally praised, but I liked it. Why? Because of the very issue that Pep and Z bring up. Their issue reminded me of a scene from the movie. And I think it makes for such an interesting discussion:

Graham Hess: "People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is a fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people. But there's a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope."

"See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?"

"Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?"

TB

I see dead people.

Ok, sorry I couldn't resist...I see miracles, see the hand of God not "coincidence"

I liked it as well.
Also liked "Dirty Harry".
On the lucky question: "Well, do you, punk?"

Merl Steubing-quite the hunk, IMO.

women are secretly turned on by pot bellies and bald heads.

Guy is packing heat, from what I have heard. Just like Eddie Haskell.

Hey don't forget ol' Fred Grandy (aka 'Gopher') - esteemed member of Congress. Iowa. Not in office any longer, though. Wanted to be governor. Didn't work out so well.....

TB

Can you imagine Governor Gopher?

He was a gifted orator(er?), by Iowa standards.

This is the very definition of Narcissism. All waywards behave like Narcs while wayward, but someone with Narc traits who becomes wayward - look out. They're in heaven and I don't think they'll ever stop. They don't even know what you're talking about. You might as well ask them to stop breathing. They have NO idea who they are unless reflected in they eyes of others - as many others as possible - and don't comprehend that not everyone lives this way.

I've often thought that *The Wizard of Oz* is a very good metaphor for Narcissism - that you can't go around looking for someone else (The Wizard) to give you the traits you want. You have to find them within yourself, because The Wizard is a fraud, after all, and there really is no place like home.

Fred Grandy is now (and has been for years) a morning drive-time radio personality on a top-rated show in the Washington, DC area. He is partnered with a fellow named Andy Parks, and their show is called, "Grandy and Andy."
