    I smiled the whole time I was watching this. What treasures, all of these wonderful men. Such positive outlooks, even after all they have seen in their lives. Brooks and Reiner, both Jews serving in the military and facing the worst enemy to their people in the form of Hitler - Takei for having to endure the worse prejudice in his own country, only because of his ethnicity. Bless all of you!

      The prejudice was there, the war was the cover, some internment camps in US stayed open till like 1948

      With Monty Python as Prince Regents Respectively

      Now we just need Mel to make it Through the chaos

    3. Watch "Young Frankenstein"

      Love both of their work, and have for a loooong time.
      But one and three are great but number 2 isn't good advice.
      Not paying attention to the path our countries been walking for the last few decades is how we've wound up with, well, what we've wound up with.
      If your not paying attention, then you'll never know when it's time to stop JUST paying attention, and start acting too.

    I feel so thankful for my parents (God rest their souls) who told me stories and more stories about the Depression (where they both survived as orphans going door to door for stale bread and day old coffee), The Dust Bowl (they lived in houses with cracks in the walls and dust came in by the bucket-full), WWll (Mom always said watching the military planes fly over made her feel safe), and the assassination of Kennedy, the impeachment of Nixon, 9-11, and finally a black president. I feel lucky that they taught me to save wax from old candles, keep a pantry that'll last for 3 months and have enough toilet paper and cleaning goods for myself and the neighbors, an attitude of being thankful, to volunteer at every opportunity possible, and to help clean up my neighborhood and planet whenever I could. Get up, get dressed, have a routine, and sing at the top of your lungs, dance like no one is watching, and love as if there is no tomorrow. This will be hard, you will cry and be depressed, but we can get thru this - together. I love you all, and to those who don't like me? You don't know me or you would. Stay safe everyone. We can do this.

    My Grandfather on my Mom's side was in WWII. He was first stationed at the Panama Canal for security from '42-43. Then from '43-45 he saw action in New Guinea against Japanese forces. Part of the 158th Bushmasters Infantry out of Arizona. He passed away in 2007. These men are the reason America is what America is today. God bless them all, our greatest generation. The sacrifices people made growing up in the depression then during the war should always be a part of the American story in children's history books.
