I never was fond of "Lord of the Flies", too fantastic, too over the top

Now that it is running in real time at the White House I have to re-evaluate it as a uniquely prophetic work, Sacramucci is the best "Roger" since Nicholas Hammond gave a great performance in the 1963 film.

You also have to give them props on creating "Piggy" as a Trifecta part. First Spicer, then teasing us with Sessions and finally dropping the boulder on Reibus.

I knew that it showed how humans would really act in that type of situation and we seem to be headed that way. The only difference is we are not stranded on an island and it is not children but white men who already have power.

I was a skinny, squeaky, highly reactive kid and a favorite target of bullies.

The advice I got from too many adults was to "be a man."

I quit high school for college and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

Never made it through the book or the movie.

I know how rotten kids can be and some of them never grow out of it.
