Book Report: Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus

By

An insane doctor in a stained, white lab coat stands before his worktable, on which is laid the gargantuan body of a hideous monster. He cackles madly as he pulls a lever down, and the grisly beast jolts and rises to stand on two green feet with bad toenails. The monster stares stupidly at the doctor for a moment, then utters three fateful words: "I. Kill. You." He beats the doctor over the head with a chair in less time than it takes to say, "unethical medical experimentation," and breaks a window to reach the outside world, where he will murder as many people as possible. This is not Mary Shelley’s story of Victor Frankenstein and his creature. There are three major differences between the modern stereotype and the original novel: the Creature’s appearance, nature, and the character of Victor.  Big. Green. Smelly. Not the Creature. Shelley never referred to him as green. He is probably grayish, if he isn’t a human skin tone, since he was crafted out of pillaged pi...

Memorial Day 2024

By
 I have had grand intentions of writing and publishing a well-timed Memorial Day piece since the inception of this blog. At last, here it is.  This is the first year in my memory that Greenville, SC has not held a ceremony at County Square to memorialize all those who have died defending our nation. Why is that? Because this year, after spending millions of dollars on city projects, including Unity Park and a shiny new county square, the government decided it wasn't worth it to pay for a Memorial Day ceremony. Since government employees are off today, it would cost extra to have a few open and close the building. Volunteers do the rest of the work.  Greenville, while rising in national acclaim, is currently unable to respect the thousands who have died for our country.  Greenville, what is wrong with you?  Now, today isn't about calling out this fallible city. It is a day set aside to remember, to reminisce, and to renew our shared patriotism, sorrow, and d...

Notes from The Murder Mill: No. 1

The morning of Friday, April 13, my father and I went to the entrance of the Greenville Women's Clinic (GWC) in Greenville, SC with some folks from our church. That's the place where the most babies are killed in SC. The Piedmont Women's Center (PWC), a pregnancy medical clinic that stands for life, sits directly across the road. The contrast is stark. The GWC is surrounded by a tall, dark fence, and activists from both sides often stand at its entrance. The PWC is easily visible from the road - a comfortable looking building with a spacious porch along the front. It seems that a scared young woman would be likely to feel more comfortable going to one over the other.   As soon as we arrived, I noticed the pride and BLM flags, signs saying "Honk for choice" and "abortion saves lives", and a woman in rainbow clothes.  A few more pro-choice people showed up later. Children's music blared, with lyrics such as "There's two mommies in this family,...
