» Posted By foxisms On April 30, 2011 @ 11:04 am Chaz…edit your post so that it has the letter v just on the tail end of http and that video should come right up for you here in your post.

» Posted By foxisms On April 30, 2011 @ 9:27 am John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address Chaz, the unfortunate fact is that there are so-o-o many possibilities that it becomes damned near impossible to pinpoint those that are viable from those that aren’t. » Posted By foxisms On April 30, 2011 @ 10:23 am Nice piece Adonai. And important to remind people of what this man stood for. » Posted By foxisms On April 29, 2011 @ 9:55 pm I find it hard to see any difference between the ‘chic’ of one party over the other, although you failed to single out any $1000 to $25,000 dollar dinner extravaganzas put on, on behalf of anyone with a right leaning disposition in an effort to help them and that party winan election. » Posted By foxisms On April 22, 2011 @ 3:47 pm KQ, I think I see your point on this and damned if I’m going to be the one to try and convince you otherwise, but you started your comment with, “Look Manning is a traitor not an avenger that just divulged secrets because of his conscience.” » Posted By foxisms On April 22, 2011 @ 3:00 pm PW, Frontline is the way to go for deer ticks. » Posted By foxisms On April 22, 2011 @ 5:12 pm Caru, you picked one hell of a topic, here. » Posted By foxisms On April 22, 2011 @ 4:45 pm We may as well, Adlib.

Johnny’s Camaro ~ David Wilcox
Coming from a music aficionado such as yourself, I’m flattered.
[Now…if I could just get a little flatter!]
Does she carry your talent?
[And I mean that in the best of ways, wts! I personally love what I’ve seen of yer stuff!]
This is a great song!
Garfunkel covered it on his 1st solo album, along with the Waters of March and both of those songs have pleasantly haunted me for decades.
G-r-r-r-r.
Midnight train to Georgia ~ The Indigo Girls
Couldn’t have been better!
I had no idea. Just trying to help.
(I’ll probably end up hurting somebody doing that, one of these days!)
Good song. Nice choice!
(Still have an account over there but haven’t logged in, in some time. Why?)
I didn’t know this was out here already.
A mass misinformation campaign? Maybe. I dunno.
If so, between that and the people who were either never called on (or “became unavailable”) for testimony, untested evidence at the time that was arbitrarily dismissed and the quick wrap up of the Commission before exploring too deeply much (if any) of the physical leads…and, well…there’s little doubt as to why so many of the questions involved remain unsatisfactorily answered. Which only further leads to further speculation.
People to this day still theorize the Lincoln assassination.And the WTC thing? Fuhgedaboudit.
Everyone is left to go with their gut feeling on these things and little more.
We know more about the ancient Egyptians than we will ever know about certain events of our own history.
The Black Panthers of the era of which you mentioned had yet to be characterized entirely by the establishment media as a militant group and they were in fact providing food and other services in the neighborhoods they were associated with.
Manning, while contributing to the dissemination of information that could have been harmful to someone, still has yet to be proven to have done so, and when balanced on a scale with the “Shock and Awe” of the Iraq invasion, the continued droning of Pakistan and the Judge that contributed so much to the “selection” of a US President in 2004….pales by comparison.
Money is and always has been collected and spent by people advancing their cause whether it as been on the left or the right.
Chic is chic.
And even a laundry list of expenditures laid out by one ideological extreme can be easily matched by the same affluence from the opposite polarity.
While I like to think I don’t graft well to either of the two party system alternatives, if I had to point out which was most likely to provide the largest war chest(s) for either candidates or causes, I would put my money on the ideology that finds the most corporations and “old money” donated in support of these leanings.
And we all know which party falls under that category.
Sure it’s fine to air out the laundry of the party that best raises your bile if that’s what you need do to take a stand and make a statement. But I think those that do are only telling one half of the story behind the money. And while I think that is at times necessary, I don’t necessarily think that contributes to anyone’s use of common sense.
But if it makes any difference, Marion…I like your articles and always look for them and read them.
So I hope I haven’t alienated you with this small criticism.
Is there a better reason or cause for anyone to do anything, other than as an act of conscience?
I was always told to follow mine.
You, my friend are going to put Jiminey Cricket out of a job.
The woods in the mid west are far too populated with the little bastids to take any chances.
Pricey, but the only thing on the market that kills eggs and larvae as well as the tick.
Then…enjoy the woods!
Necessity, in and of itself is a muthah. (period)
As I read your ideas on the four groups (examples?)of things necessary I was rocked by the blurring (or “overlap”) but I never did find any clean delineation between one or the other. Even the two givens (re: what is good and what is bad) you provided seemed to blur into others like egg whites from a tea spoon.
For example, helping people is good and killing people is bad. Now I can accept that for sake of this conversation, but the world around us has shown me that this is a very digital approach. I genuinely believe we share this society and this planet with people who would contest that perhaps killing people is not necessarily bad and if it need be done even for the lowly purpose of material gain it (to them) is deemed ‘necessary’. Nor is helping people ‘necessarily’ good, if in fact they were helping someone kill someone. So helping IS good…but to what end and by whose concept of ‘necessary’.
[I’m not arguing with you here or trying to dispute. It’s a huge subject and I’m just thinking with my keyboard.]
To make matters worse for me, I can imagine that there are people who would not find it “necessary” to call for an ambulance to aid with a heavy bleeder. I think most would do so and for a variety of reasons, but I’m not certain if this would necessarily qualify as a necessity so much as a convenience or a moral or justifiable nicety.
Now if someone is truly intent on saving the life of this person who is severely bleeding, it’s likely they would call an ambulance given one is in close proximity…others might simply try a tourniquet but in either case there would have to be a necessity on the part of the bystander to do one or the other as a means to save a life.
The necessity that would be served immediately would be to stop the bleeding. All else, including the saving of a life would be a spin off coincidental to the response to that original act which was seen as a necessity. That being to stem the flow of this guys vital fluids.
Do I have any idea what I’m talking about? I doubt it. I just felt it necessary to join in and kick some thoughts around with someone who has obviously spent more time pondering this ellusive subject than I have.
I guess what I’m getting at is it would be extremely hard to find a one size fits all “necessity”. And the moral attachment only makes it that much harder for me to get my mind around it all.
Still…nice job Caru, in at least having the where-with all to get this exasperatingly huge concept primed and rolling to begin with.
The American people have been farmed for just about a century now already.
We’re just about butcher weight by now.
Thx again.

What’s a “conceptual” drummer, you may ask? One who knows how to play the silence (for the sake of setting the mood) as well as playing the rhythm.
