  1. I haven't read the entire thread, but there is the matter of space, which is no small thing.
  2. What are you listening to?

    It is said that he invented the 'riff' which made the most amazing music, even acid rock.
  3. What are you listening to?

    This guy really started it all! Eric Clapton and his buddies were listening to a few Robert Johnson albums and became obsessed!
  4. What are you listening to?

    Nothing like Texas Southern Blues!
  5. Powerful places in America

    You forgot to include the infamous Minnesota mosquitoes
  6. Powerful places in America

    The High Sierras along with the highest peak in the lower 48 which is Mt. Whitney. Elevation 14,500. That is a real mountain! If that is not enough, you can hike the John Muir trail.
  7. The "I Am Sanctuary" is on Old Taos Highway not far from the Santa Fe Plaza. I will be driving by it within the hour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22I_AM%22_Activity
  8. The Cool Picture Thread

    April the giraffe gives birth. This video is rather long and worth watching the birth process. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/april-the-giraffe-gives-birth_us_58f22d4be4b0bb9638e45278?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

    Haven't heard these guys in a long time. Phil Collins on drums in the jazz fusion days.

    Trump is threatening to deny funding for the ACA to force Democrats to the bargaining table. More authoritarian autocratic bullying.

    Gerry, Could you quote in such a way that anyone reading this will know who wrote it and when. If you click on the bottom right corner you can edit and quote from there. There is a little quote icon on the toolbar on the editor. Thanks

    The Standford Prison Experiment clearly demonstrates that the myth of the sovereign citizen will not be found in any social structure in which social interactions/structures are determined by the most powerful bullies. http://www.alternet.org/personal-health/has-america-become-stanford-prison-experiment
  13. Trumpcare

    He is right out of the Anton Scalia mold of constitutional originalism and seems to lean toward Social Darwinism.
  14. Trumpcare

    Some conservative groups are tyrannical and seek to marginalize persons that are weaker, have less opportunity, are part of an ethnic minority, LGBT and so forth. That is why laws have been written to protect the rights of those with very little power either economic or political.
  15. Thanks for posting his resume. His interview was most informative and was the reason I posted YouTube links to his interview before the Senate Intel Committee, but I have no idea if anyone took the time to watch.
  16. It`s sad to look at Westerners

    China's population is 1.357 billion.
  17. What are you listening to?

    Saw Humble Pie way back in 1972 at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. King Crimson and J. Geils were in the same show and all for 5.00.
  18. The Cool Picture Thread

    Michelle Yeoh did that in Supercop.
  19. Marvels Iron Fist [potential spoiler alert]

    Watched the second season first episode of 'Into The Badlands' and there was more blood being spilled than both 'Kill Bill' movies. The Widow skewers anyone in her way with expert sword mastery.
  20. What are you listening to?

    A little Velvet Underground from way back. So sad Lou Reed is gone.
  21. What are you listening to?

    This may bring back some memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhGov2HQCLQ
