Watched the first disc of "The Fellowship of the Ring" tonight. It wears well. Man did it have it all over "A Beautiful Mind". Should've won the Oscar. The Ring Trilogy wasn't about Nazism. It wasn't about environmentalism. Think bigger. Tolkien thought the Industrial Revolution was the end of life as we'd known it. And he was spot on. My family and I live a very Pre-Industrial Age existence. We home school. I work at home (largely). My oldest son is studying the family business (music). We attend church weekly. Heck, I don't even drive my car except for work. I walk everywhere else. Our life is very simple and peaceful. Most of the time everyone is reading. This is why I'm the Contrarian Guitarist.
