Toney Atkins
********** So, then, to every man his chance -- to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining golden opportunity -- to every man his right to live, to work, to be himself, to become whatever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him -- this, seeker, is the promise of America. -- Thomas Wolfe
NEW
YEAR
to all of my friends and acquaintances, as well as to my enemies and those who might despise me, in Daytona Beach, FL, Port Orange, FL, DeLand, FL, Orange City, FL, Deltona, FL, Tampa, FL, Dalton, GA, Chickamauga, GA, Walker County, GA, Rossville, GA, Fort Oglethorpe, GA, Ringgold, GA, Catoosa County, GA, Colorado, Chattanooga, TN and to my many blog readers from Russia, Malaysia, Germany, China, France, Great Britain and many other countries around the world! Thank you for taking the time to explore news, entertainment, humor, horror, justice and injustice stories on my three blogs that are designed to inform, amuse, entertain and primarily educate, observing how the history of one year can impact a new one.
I love you all and pray that your new year will be filled with love, peace, joy, happiness and a determination to overcome hate and evil in the world. We are all individuals and each of us has a place and a piece of the action that can change our planet into a better one ... one free of ugliness and fear ... growing in our understanding and appreciation of each others' differences and learning to be the people who God, in His creation of the world, truly wanted us to be.
MAY THE HIGHER POWER BLESS YOU WITH GOOD HEALTH, MUCH WEALTH AND ALL THE GREAT THINGS OUR WONDERFUL WORLD HAS TO OFFER!!!!!
Let's make 2014 the best year ever! Sing a song, dance a dance, enjoy your life on this side of the ground. You can make your new year happy. Why not start now?
************
SPREAD LOVE AND PEACE!

A&E: 'Duck Dynasty' resuming 'with the entire Robertson family' - CNN.com

Toney Atkins comments: Readers of this blog should not be surprised by this revelation. A post earlier this week gave a strong suggestion that this would happen. The incident prompted a lot of conversation at Christmas celebrations, especially in the South, and gave a great deal of publicity to the show. Let's face it. The public can be rather gullible sometimes, especially when the news media perpetuates controversy concentrating on homosexuality and practically ignoring the racial comments made by the elder Robertson. Now, maybe the news channels can get back to news that is really news.

‘Duck Dynasty’: Twitter Blocks ‘IStandWithPhil.com’ | Variety
From Variety.com
Toney Atkins comments: All the hoopla is not really needed. Phil will be back on the show when it returns to A&E in January ... not really hard to believe and certainly not surprising, even before the story gained steam and garnered lots of publicity and stirred up some hate. Some readers have commented to me that it's intriguing that most published and televised stories about the Duck Dynasty controversy have centered on his remarks about homosexuality, the issue of racism that he also talked about (and essentially admitted) in the interview with GQ has been virtually ignored except on a few liberal TV talk shows. Phil has the right of free speech, people who like it have a right to agree, folks who disagree or get angry have a right to disagree and get angry, also part of free speech. Wouldn't it be nice if people used free speech for love, peace and truth instead of hate, ugliness and ignorance of the facts, Phil recently acknowledged that he lived a life of sin, sex and rock and roll until he found Jesus. Just another example of "Do as I say, not as I did" that the older generation always propagates, especially after they find the Lord. Don't worry about Phil. He will do okay.

Is cash the most 'efficient' Christmas gift? - The Week
Is cash the most 'efficient' Christmas gift? - The Week
From TheWeek.com
Toney Atkins comments: I prefer cash or food, in that order, for gifts, although I don't really expect either. I'm still adjusting to being a senior citizen on a set income, plus $15 in food stamps, and it is incredibly difficult, considering other expenses, to make funds last until the end of the month. Senior citizens especially might prefer getting cash gifts, but to be certain, you can always include a less expensive gift of something you know they will like. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
