"Johnny Lingo" and "Cipher in the Snow" - Blog Entry

07 Mar 2009 09:17 AM

I'm not LDS and to be honest I'm not exactly sure what combination of mouse-clicks got me to your blog .. *smile* ... but I remember watching "Cipher in the Snow" in a college Psych class, 25 years ago or more. I was horrified at the time, and have thought of young Cliff Evans many times since then. The thought that a young person could actually die from being considered a "nothing" is terribly haunting. I actually used the story in parenting my own children over the years, as a lesson in how to treat people, especially those who are less popular or less "cool". Thank you for writing about this :)
