Weekend Music Theme-As You Please

I love Billy Joel: I didn’t Start the Fire:

KT, I love the guided experience because I learn so much but this does let me ad a few that don’t fit.

Ten Thousand Words is a great tune as well; I just didn’t execute correctly.

This Weekend’s Music Thread-Stormy Weather

KT, it’s hard to not like Willie. We played Willie and Waylon at our wedding! Our kids said, “Yeah, right” like either they didn’t get it or they didn’t think we were cool. Har! Kids!

BREAKING NEWS: Explosions at Finish Line of Boston Marathon

Ad, I agree with that–I misunderstood. The film footage isnot helpful at some point. I think they could also break up the coverage with other news even while giving the majority to the event.

Let’s hope they solve this. And, if it is a Saudi, let’s expose the billions that the Saudi government spend to spread wahabism world wide. Let’s put our money on the safety of our people rather than the top oil mongers

Perhaps this has been said, but the 26 miler was to commemorate the 26 killed iNewtown. Kinda makes me want to to hurt whoever dId this

Choice, I agree and we also can watch non news. Besides, watching this, I wonder if it’s not somewhat cathartic. At times like this, over informed dulls our fears while under informed feed more fear.

oops, thought I was in a different spot.

Bot re the news cycle, this one seems important enough and really, isn’t everything cable news reports the minute to minute change in new every day? Whether they cycle second by second changes in gun legislation to sequester news to uncovering changes in this story, I’m not sure I see the distinction

And it was to commorate the 26 killed at Newtown…..

bEcause we have repeated oppotunities to explain how the terrorist (s) are not changing us and how very shameful these acts are viewed

House Republicans Ready to Pass “Must Carry” Gun Law for All Americans

Ad, you know what would be too funny? Joe Scarborough, who (I think for ratings) has espoused gun control, should debate Wayne LaPierre! Watching Joe steer through that wreckage would be terrific!

This feels so sadistic, but if the shootings of southern/southwestern law and justice officials continue, the gun control discussion escalates into a much better discussion that wipes out the government haters and the anti gun control advocates. The growing prepper movement, the militia–re Tim McVeigh,the survivalists, and these growing cartels seeping over our borders and the Aryan Brotherhood all speak to our absurd position on the 2nd amendment which even our Supreme Court most likely would not support at these levels.

We seem still to be these people: “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.” – Winston Churchill.
I’m truly sorry we need extremes but if so, then let’s get on with it instead of these children, wives and other innocents being killed daily.

Kes, Wow! A hell of a story. And this news hopefully will get bigger. For-profit-prisons; bet I know how the money makers on these vote. The cons/neocons will make this worse.

Is anyone wondering about these killings in TX, likely by the TX aryans? How has this not been linked this problem to our lack of gun control? Background checks? Gun shows? What? This is running concurrent with arming our schools. Guns didn’t save the DA and they can’t stop anyone in a school. Piss them off and the crazies will heave a bomb through a window—-oh, lets put bars on the windows!

Haven’t we perverted our legal system to put black men in jail by larger than reasonable numbers for smaller than reasonable crimes? So now we have a white prison backlash? Ha! And their answer is it’s ok to shoot the government. Is our southwest becoming the reality they wanted? Vigilanty, prairie justice, lynchings, take the law into your own hands, guns in the saloons.

In Chicago, we have gangs; we have guns; we have problems. But we don’t have this. We don’t shoot our law enforcement. Gang members are lost in their turf wars and hopelessness; they don’t much care who is caught in their line of fire as they protect their turf. The rest of us are not at all like them. Our gangs don’t scare me as much as this trend of guns everywhere; “normal” people carrying concealed weapons-everywhere. Our guns are in our ghettos; they aren’t everywhere.

It would be my hope that the msm would make the point about gun control, about guns as a solution to anger and about the idea that government is the enemy.

Las Hermanas Mirabal – Las Mariposas

Sue, thanks for doing this. There are so many things to read that I kinda know something about so I tend to let them linger. But this was so intriguing and, as a women’s rights activist in my time, I found it a sad and important reminder. While we all know how horribly women suffer in poorer countries, we don’t hear about their heroines.

Sue, I dont’ seem to have trouble having opinions but I have had trouble finding the time to read–much as I need and want to. This article is on my save list for tomorrow or later tonight.

Weekend Music Thread-Truth, Lies and Uncertainty

KT, such good edgy stuff. My husband can do this–he helps me because I’m kinda small ball when it comes to knowing music. I really admire music knowledge and a lot of good folks here for that~!

KT, hope you feel better soon. My brain is too tired to think creatively. I did wonder if Mrs Robinson might not have been a little strange but likable.
