Shatner: Horses can help disabled kids
JERUSALEM - The captain who dared to "boldly go where no man has gone before" has targeted a new destination: William Shatner believes he can contribute to Middle East peace by helping disabled children through horseback riding.
The former "Star Trek" actor was in Israel on Monday to promote "therapeutic riding." He hopes to raise $10 million for nearly 30 riding programs in the country.
Shatner said that placing injured people on horseback has been shown to improve their conditions. "We know that the use of a horse in their therapy takes them beyond their handicapped body, their injured body, and into another area of health," he said.
Shatner has long been involved with "Ahead for Horses," a Los Angeles charity that works with physically and mentally disabled children through horseback riding.
He hopes his new fund, launched with the nonprofit Jewish National Fund, will contribute to Mideast peace. He stressed that every citizen of Israel, as well as Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, will be encouraged to participate.
Shatner and his wife Elizabeth are on their second trip to Israel, where they are visiting many of the riding centers and meeting with people that benefit from the treatment.
Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk on the original "Star Trek" TV series, currently stars in the series "Boston Legal."
Doppelhaken, Draco, Richard H, ToddinFl, Augustus Sutter, Chain, Subrosa, Jarl, White Will, whose next?

Gee, I think if I eat a diet high in pricey cuts of beef it will contribute to middle east peace. Please contribute millions to my Abzug Gourmet Dining Fund.

Possibly the most idiotic actor,to pollute our tv and movie screens, for the last 50 years now. Every acting gesture and inflection is always painfully wrong,and he can't even speak a line believeably;he's never even been able to say "Hello",or even "Yes" or "No" in a way that doesn't sound eye-rollingly wrong and awful.And the same goes for his views of everything in life.
Being jewish, he is,without a doubt, a full blown example of jews being in charge of Show Biz;it is impossible for someone so untalented,to have been able to keep getting roles,in absolute crap,for so many years,and still remain such a popular celebrity , unless you have so many friends or fans in high places,that are jewish!!

Shatner and Ernie Borgnine both did fine jobs in "Devil's Rain". Ernie was head of the witches and Shatner was the sacrificial victim. Four stars, highly recommended!

That's the dirty kike who gave us the enriching cultural gift of TV's first interracial kiss. Although he does not look very Jewish.
I know a better way to contribute to Middle East peace anyway, by shutting off all funding and support to Israel. That should cause a quick, cheap and final peace.
All across the nation,
Such a strange vibration,
People in motion.
There's a whole generation,
With a new explanation,
People in motion, people in motion!
For those who come to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair,
And if you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there.
