All jokes aside.<br>
<br>
There are few outfits that have been as influential for good as the
Quakers.<br>
<br>
Another thing interesting is that those who had ability to change
things and <br>
who did so, were often persecuted and despised.<br>
<br>
In the end what we find is their ability.<br>
<br>
There are a lot of interesting stories.<br>

The continuing synchroncity was that Trumbo wrote Spartacus<br>
(using a Penn name), which movie starred <br>
Kirk Douglas and was directed by Stanley Qubrick,<br>
the pair of whom had previously collaborated on <br>
another movie being presentedin the series by<br>
the C-U Society of Religious Fiends (the Quakers),<br>
namely Qaths of Glory, or if you prefer, Oats of Glory.<br>
<br>
Trumbo also wrote the screenplay for the movie Quaqqillon<br>
(which means Oatterfly in French, totally pwnd<br>
by Steve McQuaen). That movie was directed<br>
by FJ Schaffner who also directed "Oatton".<br>

Not sure if it was the Quaking or the fear and Tromboling that<br>
characterized the movers and the Shakers.<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> The Quaker Oats
company did at one time thing that it owned the<br>
exclusive right to the use of the word "Oats", such that<br>
when a competitor produced a new cereal product and <br>
wanted to call it "Cheery Oats", they<br>
got their "guns" and attorneys and money and<br>
saidin an unfriendly way that the cheer would<br>
hit the fan unless they desisted from abusing the word<br>
Oatsin said manner. Apparently the threat seemed
credible<br>
and the lawsuit impending, a real and present danger, so<br>
the competitor changed the name to Cheerios in a fit of
anguish<br>
and it has worked fairly well for them.<br>
<br>
The inventor of Purina Dog Chow, whose family name
Corbin was identical to the <br>
name of the place where Kentucky Fried Chicken was
invented left his hometown<br>
of Corbin, KY, and after a stint with Quaker Oats,
departed there for St. Louis,<br>
where he eventually applied extrusion molding
technologies to the production<br>
of pet foods.<br>
<br>
In the classic case of Jury Nullification, a young
follower of archtypal Quaker George Fox, one William
Penn, Jr.,<br>
who had been imprisoned previously for failing among
other things to take oats of allegiance<br>
to the king and propriety, was freed from the charge of
preaching in the street by a renegade jury<br>
that judged the law to be unjust. But Penn went to
prison for Contempt of Court, an dthe jury, too, without
so much as <br>
a bowl of cereal to eat.<br>
