That movie was so popular that they re-released it for a theatre run every 4 years. I think this was true through the 60s.
At least through the mid seventies when my mother dragged us kids to see it at the theatre in Jonesboro, LA. The wide angle technicolor was enough to hold the attention of even a ten year old boy. It was something.

Scarlett O'Hara - A manipulating slut. At least Belle Watling plied her trade openly. In the book she bore a son with Charles Hamilton. I do remember that.
Nevertheless, every woman I've ever had a conversation with about GWTW--and there have been quite a few--has identified with Scarlett, not Melanie. Without exception.
And in the book, Scarlett is described as rather plain looking. It's her personality that attracts men.
Clark Gable was miscast as Rhett, although it made for a bigger box office. In the book he's in his early twenties and has just been kicked out of West Point.

Bout time to take pawpaw's license away.
Evidently this happened last year but they just now released the video.

re: Did You/Do You Homeschool Your Kids?
Posted by Jim Rockford on 2/21/26 at 6:25 pm to SaintlyTiger88
I've known some homeschoolers. I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion of the social aspects so I'll leave that aside and focus on academics. I think you can do fine on the elementary subjects but high school math and science would be daunting for most parents to teach. I had calculus in college but I would struggle to teach it.
Another issue is lack of a safety net. Family member gets sick, somebody gets laid off, all that will impact your school plans.

Thanks man. Im mostly over the shock but I struggle daily with finding a reason to keep going. I never bought a ticket for this ride and it will be a relief when it ends.

My mother died eight days before Mother's Day 2024. My SO died a few weeks before Valentine's day 2025. It's not that the advertising is traumatic, but it is a reminder. Given the choice, I would opt out

I think that is the direction this is going. YMMV.

Intelligent alien life from other star systems aren't just going to crash into Earth in some remote location. If we ever have or will be visited by intelligent life that has travelled interstellar, the world will know about it. To think that a government on Earth could stop that being known is pretty ridiculous.
The reality is that if we ever are visited it will likely be robotic, distances in space are vast and the amount of energy required to travel installer isn't something you can hide very easily.
You are thinking too narrowly. Whatever it is exists outside of time and space and has been here at least as long as we have.

If you delve into what the whistleblowers are saying, there's a spiritual/paranormal call it what you will element to this stuff. They seem to take different forms as needed. We are a technological society so they take the form of technology. In past times they appeared as angels, etc.
In some of the encounters the beings acknowledge a prime mover that we might think of as God.

Well it's not like Guillory was above using the law against his opponents, so FAFO I guess.

They win in that because so few people do it in general…
Ive seen arguments that women have an advantage at extreme distances because of bodyfat distribution. IDK how much merit that has. Ultra running is also a sport where people remain highly competitive into their fifties and sixties so the usual athletic parameters seem not to apply in general.
