[Rick and Roll]

I posted this as something that sounded interesting...I've been with these fools since their beginnings....

Reading Doug's rant, then Carl's, then Andy's, gives a very good perspective to it all.

To me, that's the beauty of this thread...

As for the other stuff:

I found out Carl Groves wrote a 500+ page book of fiction called "Falling Into Grey" that looks fascinating. I'll be getting it for Father's Day (even if have to buy it myself)! It touches on some sensitive issues of race relations.

I am not too passionate about politics. Not all politicians are assholes, but the process is faulty. Still, it beats living in North Korea....

and I stopped worrying about it since the 2000 election. There is no plausible explanation of how Al Gore went from almost president to buffoon in a week. That's the horrific reality of our labelling, do it now society.

We're talking about a guy who champions environmental issues and other intelligent topics. Isn't that what's lacking about most politicians? When Al Gore got kicked to the curb, politics lost me.

Didn't he get the popular vote? Do all these people who voted for him have amnesia?

They're the same people who live and die by American Idol. What's scary is there's millions of them!
