And my grandfather explained to me that the Indians were fighting for their land and that the cowboys were trying to steal it from them. Then he said something to me that I never forgot, which was,<b>`Good people aren't good all the time and bad people aren't bad all the time.'</b> I've been exploring that gray area ever since, the idea that saints can fall and sinners can transcend."<br /><br /><i>coincidentally, the death of scalia - and the recounting of his friendship with his fellow justice Notorious RBG - reminded me of some dialogue from a movie starring ben stiller, whose most recent release is in theaters even as we speak - </i><br /><br />there's a line in the movie 'zero effect' - ben stiller's character tells bill pullman's character,<b> "There aren't Good Guys and Bad Guys. They are all just a bunch of guys!"</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><b></b><br /><br />mistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.com
