Mr. D. Goes to Washington: The Next Generation
This is part one of three regarding my hopes for the priorities of the next generation. When I was a kid, I remember hearing phrases like "filthy rich," and "obscene wealth." I don't hear that anymore. However rich, it's no longer filthy. However wealthy, it's no longer obscene. As the child of parents who grew up during the depression, I remember a time when the poor were seen as "down on their luck," instead of the "takers" they have become. I'm hoping that a new ethos envelopes the country and we remember what really made America great.
Thanks again everyone, for another month of making these videos. To update you, I did sign a "shopping" deal with the former head of Sony Latin America and his new team (including the creator of "Jane the Virgin"). Hopefully, Mr. Deity will finally get his half-hour show, and I won't need to bother you anymore. Though I probably will.
Next month, I have a Mr. Deity episode to follow up on Mr. Prager's comments about King David. That means a begging segment as well (some of you have told me you like those more than the show — I'll take what I can get). I'm also working on the "afterlife" chapter of The God Distraction. So, stay tubed... and tuned. And thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I literally couldn't do it without you folks! B

Magritte parody, maybe? "This is not a t-shirt" in French?
I actually cried when I listened to Bernie's somewhat flowery and definitely lengthy speeches in which he dared to remind this country and explain to this newest generation exactly what you have so eloquently and succinctly stated in less then ten minutes. Let's hope there really is a sea change about to wash away the stain of selfishness and greed that has become the hallmark of this once great bastion of the enlightenment revolution.
Right on, Mr. D. !
