{4th of July, 2011} Bible verse: Proverbs 24:1-14 Be not thou envious
against evil men, neither desire to be with them. For their heart
studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. ***Through
wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established [1
Timothy 3:15]: ... If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He
(God) that pondereth the heart [of man] consider it? and He (God) that
keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? and shall not He render to every
man according to his works? {The complete Bible is available at

Proverbs 24:1-14 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. For their heart studieth
destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is
established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is
strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude
of counsellors there is safety. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. He that deviseth
to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination
to men. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto
death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the
heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according
to his works? My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall
the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy
expectation [life everlasting] shall not be cut off. -- Holy Bible
{4th of July, 2011} Wikipedia: King Rat - King Rat is a 1965 World War II
film adapted from the James Clavell novel King Rat - The film was
directed by Bryan Forbes and starred George Segal as Corporal King, a
World War II prisoner of war in a squalid camp near Singapore -
[consisting of anti-religious overtones] the movie was nominated for
two Academy Awards {Note: An excellent true life-human drama movie
realistically portraying life in a WWII POW camp.}
Plot: Corporal King is an anomaly in the Japanese prison camp; not only is he one of only a handful of Americans
amongst the mainly British and Australian inmates, he is actually thriving through his conniving and black market
enterprises while others (nearly all of higher rank) struggle to survive the sickness and starvation, while retaining as
much of their civilized nature as they can. ... King has an entirely different relationship with the lower-class,
seemingly-incorruptible [devout Christian] British Provost, Lieutenant Grey (Tom Courtenay). Grey has only
contempt for the American and does his best to bring him down, with little success. -- Meanwhile, Grey has another
dilemma to deal with. When he accidentally discovers that the high-ranking officer in charge of the meager food
rations has been siphoning off part of it, he rejects a bribe and zealously takes the matter to Colonel George
Smedley-Taylor (John Mills). To his dismay however, Smedley-Taylor tells him that the corrupt officer and his
assistant have been relieved of their duties, but orders him to forget all about it. Grey accuses him of being in on the
scheme, but the tampered weight he presented to the colonel has been replaced, and he no longer has any proof of
the misdeeds. Smedley-Taylor offers to promote him to captain; when a troubled Grey does not respond, Smedley-
