    -Final Thoughts and Farewell-

    I understand. I wrote something similar on a different thread three minutes later: I was wrong - and that makes me angry. I also am also more or less through with that mess. It's too painful to contemplate, and I just don't care anymore. That's not completely true, but it will be soon. The...

    The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

    I think that second one was from the Late Minstrel Period. I used to tell people who wanted me to go to recitals or a symphony as a running joke that it's not really music if it doesn't have drums and you can't tap your toe to it. I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but listen to what becomes of...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    Here's similar song about Wiliam, a military man killed in battle who left an unrequited love Peggy behind: Mark: 00:32: As we rowed out to Fennario As we rowed out to Fennario Our captain fell in love With a lady like a dove And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O Will you marry me Pretty...

    Me, too. I learned a lot there. Still not much of a fan of the music per se, but the series was interesting and informative. We had our snowbird Canadian neighbors watch it before touring Nashville last spring on their return to Canada. They've just returned to Mexico last Thursday, but we...

    Open up your eyes little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes little darling Don't want to live here no more Open up your eyes little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes little darling It's time to move along If the sun refused to shine I would still be...

    "I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'" - Bob Newhart

    I was wrong - and that makes me angry.

    Sure he did. He defined good people as, "friendly, open, and less selfish." That excludes MAGA. Do you need to hear again what decent, mindful people think of MAGA? They're morally defective by humanist standards. Were you hoping that that the contempt for MAGA and its adherents would diminish...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    No scientific law or theory refers to a creator, requires one, or is improved by inserting the notion into the science. Justified beliefs don't need to be proven, just convincingly demonstrated to be correct, whch is usually done by successfully using them to predict outcomes. That's...

    What's For Dinner?

    Spaghetti with serrano peppers, Italian sausage, butter sauce, and grated pecorino Romano, as well as oven fresh pistachio and cranberry sugar cookies (pale, flaky) and cranberry margaritas for two.

    Do You Believe in Angles?

    As fort me, I prefer wrists, but some of the squares I know do. And I mean that as a complement.

    The Real Reason Trump Won

    The "real reason" Trump won because collectively, America is a morally failed idiot now. Americans are unfit to self-govern given the recent election results, and if the Republicans get the House, there will be no stopping them from dismantling the democracy and retooling America to serve Trump...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    The Dark Ages were characterized by religion. Breaking out came from other avenues such as recovering Greco-Roman culture from the Muslims and the Renaissance and Enlightenment. The church would still be performing exorcisms and executing witches if left to its own devices. I think it still does...

    Illogical Conclusions

    What people are telling you is that if you hold an irrational belief alone, it is a delusion, but that if millions of people have a shared irrational belief, that that is different. I would agree. It's not that your beliefs are more irrational than virgin births and resurrections, it's just...

    Will Kamala Harris be the next POTUS?

    Possible, but unlikely. Here's one for you: Will Trump ever be president again? How would you know? Are you thinking that you're as smart or smarter than people who answer and therefore a standard or metric for making such a judgment? It seems so. I think you meant January 20th, Inauguration...

    Remembrance Day

    "In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and...

    Certain of Trump’s far right supporters spark a wave of misogynistic abuse

    But does it really? In America, criminality dominates society now. The majority elected a known criminal to spread pain and mayhem to everybody that they hate. He promises them retribution against women, and they elected him. It's what they want. It's who they are. Trump’s Promise to Young...

    I'm sittin' in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one-night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escapin' Home where my music's...
