B.J.

Much like the life of Dawson Leery, B.J.'s Creek is full of drama and intrigue but, at the end of the day, nothing actually happens.

How bad has the military-industrial complex gotten? The arms industry donates tens of millions of dollars every election cycle, and the average taxpayer spends $1,087 per year on weapons contractors compared to just $270 for K-12 education.

This is Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia librarian who began taping whatever was on television from 1975 until her death in 2012. She made a total of 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes, which is the most comprehensive collection of television during this era.

She was able to pay for her recordings and storage space by investing early in Apple stock. Although she had never sent a single email, she managed to convince her friends and family to purchase Apple stock. Towards the end of her life, she had made so much money that she was able to store her tapes in nine apartments she had purchased over the years.

According to film director Matt Wolf, Marion Stokes "was interested in access to information, documenting media, making sure people had the information they needed to make good decisions."

Due to her political activism in her early years, Stokes was convinced that the government was keeping surveillance on her every move, and she became extremely cautious about her recordings.

She had every right to be paranoid as she lived through the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in 1985, in which the FBI and Philadelphia police used a helicopter to drop bombs during an armed standoff with MOVE members. The bombs started a fire that eventually destroyed 61 houses and killed 11 people.

Her work is currently being digitized by the Internet Archive, a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

Republicans: "Protestors shouldn't shut down traffic just to get what they want."

Also Republicans: "We're going to shut down the entire government just to get what we want."

Sept 24th 1975 - After being allowed back on the air for a final farewell, Howard Beale launched into an infamous on-air rant about life, persuading the public to declare "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!".

@SusanRinkunas @MsCitris And yes, this particular case shows what desperate people will do when extreme bans are in place. I get it. And I’m not blaming the daughter or mother. But if we’re trying to rally national support to overturn these horrible laws, this is not the case to hang your hat on.
