It's important to get past the propaganda about Hamas representing Gaza in any legitimate fashion. Nothing goes down in Gaza without Israel's approval. The oppression there is complete. The Hamas leadership are a group of billionaires living in Qatar. They are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood which were nurtured by British intelligence. Ironically. Israel helps funding them due to their inflexible stance against their existence. Thinking it helps to justify the slaughter that's taking place.

No one likes congress, but for it to function at all requires compromise
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16am
JReganK:

Compromise assumes all involved parties have power. That's often not the case. A powerful senate leader can often smack enough heads together to get legislation passed. LBJ was a good example of that.

That's how he made it on the 60' presidential ticket.

Yes no question. A powerful leader can be a tyrant in congress.

Another example of uncompromising power was J. Edgar Hoover. He had dirt on both houses and the White House for something like 40 years.

Was he in that? Also “walking distance “ episode of twilight zone

It's worth a view. Not as good as the Vincent Price Peter Lorre stuff. But, good. ;)

Which episode was that?

He returned to his hometown on a whim and every thing is exactly the way he remembered it

Even his parents are young and he meets himself as a boy

Instead of the post office. They'll hang our mugshots on the FMU kitchen wall.

It’s a great one, because of the allure of the past. That nostalgia for things lost. But he decided to return to the present

I’m sure there’s no room for more mugshots,

I think the Willoughby episode was a more poignant treatment of the Gig episode.

Maybe? The problem with that is I don’t feel they sold the small town well enough to make it desirable
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:34am
JReganK:

↳ Audiocarp @8:30
Not to pry. Did you say earlier that you lost a parent?
  8:35am

No, it just felt like that, because her mind was distracted

They only had 22 minutes to tell the story, too.

Serling was upfront about the problem in walking distance, where the arc of the episode came too early

Perhaps. I always interpreted it as a möbius strip of human dysfunction.
