Overnight Open Thread (4/27/15) [tmi3rd]
Hi guys. Me again, and Maet should be back from his assignment somewhere around the end of next week.
More below the fold.
As some of you know, I have a news background as well, having worked for NBC, CBS, and CNN. I bring this up because one of my former general managers (who is a relatively religious man for a liberal) made a remark in passing that he felt that people were naturally good, and didn't do bad things unless steered towards doing so. As such, he didn't feel that the 21st-century man needed the guidance of religion.
"Young lady, the tragic wrongness of what those well-meaning people did, contrasted with what they thought they were doing, goes very deep. They had no scientifc theory of morals. They did have a theory of morals and they tried to live by it (I should not have sneered at their motives), but their theory was wrong -- half of it fuzzy-headed wishful thinking, half of it rationalized charlatanry. The more earnest they were, the farther it led them astray. You see, they assumed that Man had a moral instinct." "Sir? I thought -- But he does! I have." "No, my dear, you have a cultivated conscience, a most carefully trained one. Man has no moral instinct. He is not born with moral sense. You were not born with it, I was not -- and a puppy has none. We acquire moral sense, when we do, through training, experience, and hard sweat of the mind. These unfortunate juvenile criminals were born with none, even as you and I, and they had no chance to acquire any; their experiences did not permit it. What is 'moral sense'? It is an elaboration of the instinct to survive. The instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derives from it. Anything that conflicts with the survival instinct acts sooner or later to eliminate the individual and thereby fails to show up in future generations. This truth is mathematically demonstrable, everywhere verifiable; it is the single eternal imperative controlling everything we do. "But the instinct to survive," he had gone on, "can be cultivated into motivations more subtle and much more complex than the blind, brute urge of the individual to stay alive. Young lady, what you miscalled your 'moral instinct' was the instilling in you by your elders of the truth that survival can have stronger imperatives than that of your own personal survival. Survival of your family, for example. Of your children, when you have them. Of your nation, if you struggle that high up the scale. And so on up. A scientifically verifiable theory of morals must be rooted in the individual's instinct to survive -- and nowhere else! -- and must correctly describe the hierarchy of survival, note the motivations at each level, and resolve all conflicts. "We have such a theory now; we can solve any moral problem, on any level. Self-interest, love of family, duty to country, responsibility toward the human race -- we are even developing an exact ethic for extra-human relations. But all moral problems can be illustrated by one misquotation: 'Greater love hath no man than a mother cat dying to defend her kittens.' Once you understand the problem facing that cat and how she solved it, you will then be ready to examine yourself and learn how high up the moral ladder you are capable of climbing. "These juvenile criminals hit a low level. Born with only the instinct for survival, the highest morality they achieved was a shaky loyalty to a peer group, a street gang. But the do-gooders attempted to 'appeal to their better natures,' to 'reach them,' to 'spark their moral sense.' Tosh! They had no 'better natures'; experience taught them that what they were doing was the way to survive. The puppy never got his spanking; therefore what he did with pleasure and success must be 'moral.' "The basis of all morality is duty, a concept with the same relation to group that self-interest has to individual. Nobody preached duty to these kids in a way they could understand -- that is, with a spanking. But the society they were in told them endlessly about their 'rights.' "The results should have been predictable, since a human being has no natural rights of any nature."
Much as today's left would like to discard religion as a worthless anachronism, Christianity (and its predecessor Judaism) are clearly stated as the foundation on which our Founding Fathers built the Constitution. While taking great pains to not have the state choose a religion, its importance was carefully underscored in the discussions of its framing and in the Bill of Rights.
While I admire my general manager very much- think of his leanings as vaguely like that of a Kirsten Powers, but not nearly as nice to look at- his understandings of the underpinnings of our society are flawed indeed. Given the fact that he had a ringside seat to the complete disintegration of societal order that we saw during Hurricane Katrina, I consider this a most egregious error on his part.
On to the fun stuff. I like Grim Reaper, but this is too funny to pass up...
Moving on... what the actual fuck is this?!
Remember your loved one – by putting their ashes in a dildo
Explaining his bizarre invention, Mr Sturkenboom said: ‘After a passing, the missing of intimacy with that person is only one aspect of the pain and grief. ‘This forms the base for 21 Grams. The urn offers the possibility to conserve 21 grams of ashes of the deceased and displays an immortal desire.’ He continued: ‘I sometimes help an elderly lady with her groceries and she has an urn standing near the window with the remains of her husband. ‘She always speaks with so much love about him but the jar he was in didn’t reflect that at all. ‘In that same period I read an article about widows, taboos and sex and intimacy and then I thought to myself “can I combine these themes and make an object that is about love and missing and intimacy?”‘ The box, called 21 Grams – said to be the weight of the human soul – was his answer.
Tonight's Musical Selection
This is one of the most criminally overlooked songs by Faith No More. Off the same album as "Epic", it shows off one of my bass heroes- Bill Gould- in an exquisite light. The thing I love about his sound on this is that it's almost saxophone-esque... it's an Aria Integra bass through an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Peavey bass head (the model escapes me at the moment).
So, this month, five years ago, my son, tmi4th was born. I live-blogged it on the ONT and on Facebook,
and I put this up to honor him and to honor you, my Moron friends.
I don't get into the comments as much these days, but it's never escaped me that the Moron Nation are very much my family, and you're all very special to me. I thank you for that- everywhere we've moved, a Moron has waited to welcome us, and that's truly priceless.
I leave you with puppies playing with babies. Have a good night!

More to the point organized religion is what allowed civilization above that of the level of a tribe. Of course some religions, like the two you mention, form a more just society then others...high Moe!
Of course to be clear liberals sort of recognize this. For as much as they talk about destroying organized religion what they really spend their time on is attempting to replace Christianity as the basis of our society - look at socialism or environmentalism as particular examples.

Black leadership isn't.
Most of those 'youths' are not.
The mayor is one of those people that should never have risen to a position she's in now but did.
Sadly, I don't give a damn because I know it will not affect me or happen where I live. People here still have a semblance of honor and dignity and would not allow that to happen.

The physical is eat, sleep, work, screw, have fun, etc.
The meta-physical (or spiritual) is just as important (maybe more so) but is not cultivated as much any more.
What Colonel DuBois was talking about in his monologue from "Starship Troopers" above was the fundamental lack of any meta-physical part of the broken children in gangs and in the street. They don't know any better because they were never taught or spoken to in that manner when they were impressionable children. When they're 16 or 17, it's just about too late. Their thought patterns and behavior are pretty much formed.
Without some kind of moral training or guidance taught as children, they have no sense of themselves as anything else but a piece of meat on the rampage. And that was the training principle of the Shutzstaffel (SS) of the Third Reich. They tried to ERASE the moral/spiritual part of the men in the SS, to turn them into reflexively cruel brutes.
It can be done.

When people say we don't need religious superstition to keep us 'moral'
it's because they assume the enlightened peace and tranquility we live
under is the natural consequence of peaceful people.
When you point out history, they dismiss all of that saying that was
back in olden times and we are smarter, wiser, better educated now.

Lord, I ask of you to watch over the little ones; of purity and
innocence. Our prayers this evening are with them; as well as the
families and friends.
Assuage them, Oh Lord, their fears and trepidation. Might they ask of you for your loving sight and love.
-Cover them in your light.
-In your peace.
-In your embrace.

In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free
Hooker on the corner
Waitin' for a train
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk
Sleepin' in the rain
And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live, just to live
Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
Gonna haul us all away
Livin' in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never comin' back here
'Til the day I die
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live, just to live

I'm in touch with a worldwide purveyor of exotic hardwoods, in the custom gunstocking world. Located just North of Houston.
I'll get a copy of his business card, and send it back to you as an email attachment.
Odds are, he'll want to actually go there, and have the tree felled and sectioned to his specifications. One wrong cut can shatter the value to the stockmakers. Cut the right way, the blanks alone can be worth thousands.
And that's the world he works in. Got a $65,000 Beretta SO-5? He's where you go to get it custom re-stocked.
I've introduced him to a customer with exactly that gun. After over 500k recorded rounds fired, it's split the wood at the wrist. Being a pure sidelock, it's a complicated bit of inletting.

232 Speaking of riots against the man, it is my pleasure to report that the paid mods have disappeared from the Skyrim Steam workshop and discussion there indicate this was an official response (not a bug), which doesn't surprise me as the interface to focus on the paid mods is also gone.Sometimes saying 'no' loudly and repeatedly enough is successful.

Have the protests hit the areas that are gentrifying? Seriously, I'm wondering. There are chunks of Baltimore that are populated by people who are living there because they primarily commute to DC and the cost of living is cheaper.

If you have a family, and you have a business that supports that family, and a couple of idiots came in with a political stunt to bankrupt you and ensure your children grew up under hardship.....how could you compare their misadventure with your kids' future?
I'm just noting that you cannot create existential threats without blowback. If the "damages" from having to find another baker were limited to a $20 ticket to the local authorities, with NOTHING going to the aggrieved, there wouldn't be an issue.
But if it were to become "normal" for gay partisans to routinely drive people out of business and ruin their lives for failing to kneel before Zod, it would probably become "normal" for them to vanish.

Faith No More is a band that I've never been able to get into, despite all the accolades I've heard. From what i recall, their leader (forget his name) also made a big point of always making sure to say lots of offensive bullshit about Christians and conservatives back in the 90s. If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.
In the meantime I had another online meltdown tonight at Chris Kluwe, who has taken on the mantle of Most Idiotic Sanctimonious Liberal at Twitter tonight re Baltimore. I basically called him out as a hypocrite and dared him to join his psycho friends if he's so 'down with the struggle.' Don't even care if I get blocked anymore by these stooges.

work was being used in a paid mod and sent Valve a Cease and Desist
letter.
Of the 17 paid mods made available in the initial batch, 2 are known to have run into the 'borrowed' asset issue. One was removed, and the other issued a separate version without the assets (don't know if it was still really playable as it was fur armors to counter the exposure effect of the mod). It sounded like just the modders and Valve's lawyers were in discussion, but other folks were certainly talking about getting lawyers involved for a variety of reasons.

Seriously, at what point does civil society say "Enough is enough"? When
paid agitators are sent to a city to create civil unrest, when
legitimate businesses are looted and burned to the ground, when innocent
people are attacked for no other reason than they are in the wrong
place at the right time. Libs and Livs can make a thousand excuses for
this behavior even when they themselves are the absolute root cause of
this behavior. The country is devolving and any society that succumbs to
mob rule is doomed. When the civil government cannot squelch these
types of actions, it won't be long before we are in Mad Max territory.
Especially
when you have pundits like Shep Smith condone the actions of lawless
people. That alone makes it impossible to stop the downward spiral into

There is one serious error in your analysis. You say, "When the civil government cannot squelch these types of actions...." -- but that is not what is happening. The government chooses not to squelch these actions because they prefer mob rule to the rule of law.

Note that Ferguson included an armed civilian response, but it was almost entirely deterrent in nature - to my recollection they just stood around and the provocateurs avoided them.
It would be nice if someone outside the degraded FBI could check these scenes and compare them to get a sense of who the organizers were. I suspect the FBI is pretty clear on this, there are reports from previous agitation events of the FBI clearing caches of improvised weapons immediately before the event.
But I'm not hearing about these jackasses being arrested.

Glad I didn't read any of the "interesting" answers.
Bottom line - there are plenty of "good" people in even the worst cities. And I don't wish death on the "bad" people there either. Or their innocent children.

The pain and swelling are subdued for now, but again, I stayed off of it today.
Yesterday, not so much. Work summoned, duty called, roofs were surveyed.
I do not recommend working roofs with an injured foot.
The pain can only be described as "exquisite", at best.
But I need about twenty such roofs from this storm to be contracted and completed, to fund the required surgery. It's gonna take screws for this one.
So, it's suck it up time, and soldier on.

It won't be an ICBM, it will likely be a Gulfstream jet, a cargo container on a ship, or maybe just a private yacht. And everyone will deny they had anything to do with it. I suggest everyone look at their home and job location. If it is in a target zone, relocation might be reasonable. Especially if you can switch jobs to something more rural.

Later as an adult, I found out that there were seven targets in the Denver metro area. Stapelton airport (long enough runways to handle B-52's), Lowry AFB (active at the time for tactical forces), Rocky Mountain Arsenal (nerve and biological agents), Rocky Flats (all kinds of nuclear weapons), Denver Federal Center (Accountants, why, don't know, ask the Soviets), Buckley ANG base (again tactical air), and the flagpole in front of the State capitol.
My school was five hundred yards from the Stapelton runways. A one megaton air burst would have reduced my happy ass to atoms in less than a second.
When I was a teen I read a book called "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons", I don't remember the author. In very dry prose, it told me what I could expect if I were ever the recipient of a nuclear payload.
Just to put it into perspective, the majority of residents in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived. Most had medical issues for the rest of their lives, but they lived.
There were horrendous casualties, but more survived than were killed. The yields on most modern nuclear weapons is much larger than the WWII weapons, but survival is possible. It just boils down to your location, and in some cases, wind direction.
Sorry for the long post.

Commissioner: We encourage peaceful protest. Having said that WE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE UNLAWFUL CONDUCT FROM OUR CITIZENS.
As of this moment we have done a video scan of all persons outside on the streets in the affected areas of unrest. Facial recognition will be used for any lawbreakers and they will be arrested and face criminal prosecution.
As of now, all officers have been briefed on the current procedure. These procedures include, but are not limited to:
1. For any projectile thrown towards my officers they will be answered with bean bag shots. These bean bags will be directed to the area of their origin. Any person in this general area can expect to be hit as, at a minimum, 12 shots will be fired. These bean bags will contain a dye that will not be easily removed. I expect the stain to last at least a week. Anyone observed with the stain after tonight will be apprehended and questioned by authorities. Criminal charges can be expected.
2. Looters will be apprehended upon leaving the affected business. Those that try to run will be shot with (hopefully) non-lethal weaponry. We plan to aim at the knee but can not be held responsible for severe damage to the persons involved in this crime. Those that are involved will be swiftly arrested and will be residing in a local jail until their arraignment and perhaps until their trial date. There will be no exceptions so please, parents, keep your children away from temptation. Nothing is free in this world, and someone else's property is no exception..............they had to pay for their property and if you want it, you should pay for it too.
3. You folks DO realize you are destroying your own community don't you?? Rest assured that the damage you do to your local businesses and homes will not be rebuilt by anyone outside of this community. I can guarantee you that there will be no outside help solicited to rebuild, as the city will not seek outside assistance. You will live with what you have wrought and any rebuilding will be at your expense and your expense alone.
Now, I have a lot of work to do and NO, I will not take questions at this time. Good day.

Cold War: lots of super-high-yield nukes fall everywhere, most everyone dies... but thanks to MAD, likelihood of bombing was low.
Today: thanks to terrorism and individual cells, the likelihood of a bomb going off is way UP... but, the most likely scenario is that it'll be just one or a few bombs, of unknown calibers.

I think the norks are more likely to lash out at Japan and South Korea, which are easy for them to hit. If they try for the US, I think it will likely be an unconventional delivery system like a container or a small passenger aircraft. Maybe a freighter with several short range ballistic missiles?
Question. Does anyone know if the Norks have ever had a successful test? The first one sounded like it was a "fizzle" in 200??? But they should have access to the AQ Khan files, and Pakistan has been very successful.

Ah, OK, then it was probably SAC I was thinking of, because I now specifically remember that it was in Nebraska, and I remember being amazed that the #2 target in the country would be in such a (from my biased West Coast liberal view) random-seeming "flyover" state. yeah, Strategic Air Command would be hit in the very first volley (along with Lawrence Livermore Lab).
This of course was back when the Soviets were doing the targeting.

I don't think that nuke research or political capitulation centers would be on the list. Nuke research takes many years and many additional resources to come to fruition; and DC is too busy trying to distance themselves from the rest of the country to worry about. Cheyenne Mountain used to be a good spot for Command and Control -- and I hear it's being refurbed.
More likely targets for today's nukes would be terror targets (NY, LA, Chicago), financial centers (NY, Charlotte, SF, Chicago), or military.

It sounds a lot like how WWI started. Everyone had mutual defense treaties. We Must Defend Our Allies!
I hope cooler heads will prevail. My fear is that after Israel destroys Iran, the Mid-east countries all decide to attack Israel. Because 1) it is wounded, and 2) because their Islamic populations demand it. Israel then uses weapons 51-200 to destroy any other country that tries attacking it. The rest of the world gets their Jew Hate On, and emabargoes a badly hurt Israel, and let the Islamics chop up the remains. And BHO would be the head cheerleader for the emabargo and destruction of Israel.

I worry about it being us because obama's inviting it, and more importantly I live here, so that's what I worry about. But aside from the Norks, I'm not sure anyone else who might be tempted to do so really has us as their first target. Russia and China are out as they each assume to do so ends with their annihilation, so we're really talking about one of the mohammedan factions. But they have other enemies, who are nearer and easier to hit, including each other.
I think the first nuclear exchange will be between a recent nuclear power and someone they think is without the bomb, so, Iran and Saudi Arabia, or one of the smaller gulf states.

The Barbarians were formed in the summer of 1964 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, by original members Victor "Moulty" Moulton, Bruce Benson, Ronnie Enos, and Jerry Causi. The band was quickly assembled by Moulton, who had agreed to do a gig at The Rumpus Room, an ex-jazz club where his cousin worked. After packing the house for their opening performance, they were asked to come back numerous times throughout the season. By the end of the summer, record companies had heard about them and they were taken to New York to start their careers.
While their debut single, "Hey Little Bird" produced by Al Ham (on Joy Records) bombed, two of their next three singles (on Laurie) charted on Billboard, (with "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?" peaking at No. 55) and also made the Cash Box charts. ...
Their "pirates on the beach" look--leather sandals, open necked/bloused sleeved shirts (sometimes a vest as well), black jeans, longer than usual hair--was distinctive and romantic, topped by the sight of drummer Moulton's hook-shaped left-hand prosthesis. Having lost the hand in an explosion when he was fourteen, Moulton had enabled his drumming by modifying the prosthesis to hold a drumstick."

Oh, tune out the vocalist. Focus on the rythym section only. If you can play those licks, kudos. I used to be able to, not so much anymore. Out of practice ATM. In any event, it's the simpler stuff that impresses me the most, in regards to how it's put together with the band. The best bass is simple especially if it's carrying the riff/hook/melody. The dude's got a sweet synergy going on with the drummer. That is not something that happens coz it's easy.

OK, that brings up the second crazy music trivia of the night!
In 1977, at the height of their fame, the Sex Pistols gave their first TV interview in England. The clueless interviewer asked Johnny Rotten which band he'd cite as his biggest musical influence in the formation of the new "punk" genre. To everyone's eternal stupefaction and amazement, Johnny Rotten replied, in all seriousness, "Hawkwind."
A million punk kids immediately rushed out buy Hawkwinds' albums, thinking they were going to discover the ultimate proto-punk band which led to the inspiration behind the Sex Pistols -- only to be completely confused upon hearing spacey prog-rock!
But Rotten wasn't joking -- the Sex Pistols actually covered a Hawkwind song ("Silver Machine")!!

I've also been outta practice lately too. I recently got back into it with a 5 string Ibanez Gio, but I'm not happy with it.
The neck is too wide, and far too heavy for me, especially being out of practice. (Im sure a different style and fret curve would help)
My main is an 86 MiM P Bass, but it needs a fret job, so thats why I tried the Gio.
Lately, because my friend wants to get a party band together, I've been playing rhythm guitar, and neglecting the basses. But thats only till we get more members, and I will go back to the deep end.

What I'd like to try is the Geddy P/jazz. Not sure which neck it uses, but I ALWAYS wanted to put a P neck on a Jazz body, and combine the P-ups
My old basses were a EB-0/1 shorty and a 4001 Black Beauty Ricky.. The Gibson broke its head off in a fall, so I gave it to a bar to display. And I lost the Ricky in a bout of stupidity.

I think I'm just going to reveal the answer for this one, because the answer, while very interesting, is almost impossible to uncover:
John Lennon was born during the Blitz -- a major Nazi bombing raid -- on Liverpool on October 9, 1940. Literally, as the bombs fell. During the birth, his mother could hear the explosions of the Luftwaffe bombs hitting near the hospital. She was so fearful/patriotic that in a spur-of-the-moment decision she named the new baby "Winston" (in honor of the new Prime Minister) as a sort of "Fuck you" to Hitler. But since the parents had already promised to name the baby, if a boy, after his grandfather ("John"), she made "Winston" his middle name instead!

Oh... it wasn't that big, size wise. Not golfball size or anything. That kind of shit can cause it's own problems. This was marble size, max. But... there was a ton of the stuff, with near cyclone wind and rain. The windows held up ok and the neighbours are fine. But, it was up to 2 feet or so of the stuff, some places collapsed... everything got buried and the streets were chaos. The big hassle was it piled up on the roof of everyplace. Here as with the neighbours, the gutters filled and the water backed into the ceiling. Had to get up onto the roof to try to clear the gutters and pipes while it was on... nearly came off a couple of times. Gave it up. It was crazy. trying to move on a tin roof with a foot or more of ice with high winds. Place is ok now apart from water damage. The garden is history, though. The amount of rain and ice overwhelmed the drains and cars were washed away.

Nope -- you're almost two years too early! Aside from novelty records like "The Martian Hop," practically no rock 'n' roll hits featured synthesizers until late '67 at the earliest ("Wild Thing" was from mid '66), and even then it was very rare. It wasn't until '69 that synthesizers could be clearly heard on any hit records, and not until '70 ("Lucky Man" by E.L.P.) that synthesizers were the primary instrument.

Yes, correct -- as I said, various bands experimented with synthesizers in late '67-'68 (not merely Pink Floyd), but you can't really hear the synthesizer on most of such songs from that era -- the producers used the Moog merely to "fill in" the sound-space to make the track seem more lush and orchestral. It wasn't until '69 that it began to be featured as a distinct new solo instrument that you could pick out with your ear on the record, and not until '70 until there was a major hit featuring a Moog as the lead.
(We're speaking specifically of mainstream rock here -- as mentioned above, there were novelty records with synthesizers earlier than that.)

It was Floyd and kinda Jimmy Page with the Theramin and others bringing the weird sounds to the front in those following years and that really made the total market for pedals etc lol..
The Grateful Dead is of course, grateful for that.

"Forbidden Planet 's innovative electronic music score, credited as "electronic tonalities," partly to avoid having to pay any of the film industry music guild fees,was composed by Louis and Bebe Barron. MGM producer Dore Schary discovered the couple quite by chance at a beatnik nightclub in Greenwich Village while on a family Christmas visit to New York City; Schary hired them on the spot to compose his film's musical score. While the theremin (which was not used in Forbidden Planet) had been used on the soundtrack of Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945), the Barrons' electronic composition is credited with being the first completely electronic film score; their soundtrack preceded the invention of the Moog synthesizer by eight years (1964)."
So it wasn't a theremin -- NOR a synthesizer!

Good call on Taylor! You, Adrinane and Jarvis have nailed 3 (well, 3 and a half!) of the originals.
Mick Jagger... vox
Keith Richards... guitar
Dick Taylor... bass (went on to the Pretty Things)
Ian Stewart... piano
Mick Avory... drums (went on to the Kinks)
Geoff Bradford... guitar (split before the debut)
Elmore Lewis... guitar (Brian Jones changed his name!)

I was thinking that it was a trick question, and you were referring to The Blue Boys!
(That is to say, before the Rolling Stones were actually called the Rolling Stones, they briefly took the name "The Blue Boys," before shortly thereafter dropping the name and also switching out various band members. The five guys I mentioned were the original members of The Blue Boys, and so one might say that they counted as the "original line-up" of the Rolling Stones! But no, it wasn't a trick question, so I didn't quite get it!)

“Brett, speaking only for myself, I agree with your point that the principle of peaceful, non-violent protest and the observance of the rule of law is of utmost importance in any society. MLK, Gandhi, Mandela, and all great opposition leaders throughout history have always preached this precept. Further, it is critical that in any democracy investigation must be completed and due process must be honored before any government or police members are judged responsible.
That said, my greater source of personal concern, outrage and sympathy beyond this particular case is focused neither upon one night’s property damage nor upon the acts, but is focused rather upon the past four-decade period during which an American political elite have shipped middle class and working class jobs away from Baltimore and cities and towns around the U.S. to third-world dictatorships like China and others, plunged tens of millions of good hard-working Americans into economic devastation, and then followed that action around the nation by diminishing every American’s civil rights protections in order to control an unfairly impoverished population living under an ever-declining standard of living and suffering at the butt end of an ever-more militarized and aggressive surveillance state.
The innocent working families of all backgrounds whose lives and dreams have been cut short by excessive violence, surveillance, and other abuses of the Bill of Rights by government pay the true price, an ultimate price, and one that far exceeds the importance of any kids’ game played tonight, or ever, at Camden Yards. We need to keep in mind people are suffering and dying around the U.S., and while we are thankful no one was injured at Camden Yards, there is a far bigger picture for poor Americans in Baltimore and everywhere who don’t have jobs and are losing economic, civil, and legal rights, and this makes inconvenience at a ball game irrelevant in light of the needless suffering government is inflicting upon ordinary Americans.”

I'm not so nearly nice as St. Thomas Aquinas, I feel, If you feel you have no soul then just STFU. Why should I bother giving my energy to a slab of meat? Or someone who imagines that's all they are, animated meat. If a soul, then what? The liberal but still somewhat religious friend may not feel a need for organized religion, neither do I, religion is an attempt to apply value to scientific knowledge. Religion is about value.
Some religions teach a spark of divinity in each individual. A divine cohabitation possible only because the individual made a moral decision. No moral decision then no divine indwelt cohabitation. Religion would be acknowledging and trying to something with that.

True. It probably wouldn't have been permanent as Hendrix seemed to be in a change phase at that time. But, even with the egos it could have been a productive partnership. It would have been a good fit with Jones, who looked up to Hendrix and wouldn't have cramped his style as Jones wasn't a songwriter, but a multi instrumentalist.

I've heard it, decades ago on vinyl. Can't recall the name of it. I seem to remember that there were tracks of Hendrix-Morrison and Hendrix-Jones and at least one track with Hendrix-Morrison-Jones? It was a bootleg, maybe they were from different sessions and they weren't all on the same one. But I got this memory of Hendrix on guitar, Jones on sitar and Morrison singing something or other?

you're a Christian baker or photographer or florist and a pair of gays

them?
I mean, I don't think a mob hit costs $135,000 -- if anyone knows, I'll stand corrected.
