I've been accused on this site of making assumptions about and/or reading too much into what people are saying, so instead of doing those things, I'll just ask...What do you mean?

It was the conversation between River Phoenix (or was it the blind man?) and James Earl Jones at the end of Sneakers, after Robert Redford et. al. had busted the whole unbreakable codes thing.

when the Rev asked what we wished for, I was reminded of this exchange in the movie as Juggling Referee detailed. It was the blind guy, whose name I can't for a moment... ah! it just hit me..... Whistler. it was whistler who kept saying he was going to use his share of the reward money to get peace on earth.

I can see why, given the current situation in the Middle East, you might have thought I was being politically aggressive. I've been known to do that, but I wasn't, in this case. Just quoting a cute movie exchange.

I never saw the movie...I'll order it on NetFlix. Thanks for explaining.

Juulie, I think I might use your prayer Sunday morning. Then again, maybe not!
