    Does anyone other than YGIFS know people who support Ted Cruz? Because I know a shit ton. 

    I remember how depressed I was that David Dewhurst lost to him in the 2012 primary on the backs of the Tea Party deal that Cruz opportunistically took advantage of. 

    I mean, that's Cruz in a nutshell. A completely unlikable, uncharismatic shit heel who will throw anyone under the bus, and lick anyone's boot heel if he thinks he can take advantage of it. 

    To think of how proud I've been of the senators who have served this state over the course of its history. I mean, John Cornyn isn't my favorite, but compared to Cruz he looks like Thomas Jefferson. Phil Gramm was a bit of an asshole, but I could stomach him.

    But Ted Cruz is unredeemable. I can't believe we're about to vote this guy to a third term barring some kind of miracle from the Democrats. 

    Yes, YGIFS may have crossed a line there.  Whatever talent we have, or will, or drive, or religion, or being a good guy.   None of it is inherently ok.  It matters only what end this skill serves.

    Come back across the line.   There is only the deepest well us forgiveness here.

    Perhaps unsaid here is that justice might otherwise be served outside of the law.  At any rate, that idea is out there and galloping.  One might imagine that with sufficient frustration justice comes to look more important than the law.  I don’t support these ideas (whatever that means), but mounting injustices and mounting frustration are not good for society.   Something like climate change.  When will the talking stop?

  3. Brick, without an ounce of snark, on my half, can you share a few positive examples?

    But this is the unpopular thread.  So, yeah, I caught Springsteen’s show at the Armadillo in 74 or so and at the auditorium in 76 with the Born to Run tour,  Then in with Darkness.   I was a fanboy.  But, nothing since Darkness seems as original as what came before.  Same with Page.  He’s seemed lazy since about Houses of the Holy.  Yes, I am dating myself.   Speaking for Armybrat.  

  4. I’ve been wondering what currency the new maga nation will use, what kind of banking and insurance system, how they can keep from currency attacks (wouldn’t that be a blue nation option).  Etc.  would turn into Somalia in a generation.   And then when Mexico invades…

  5. Well, after learning a few chords post college and playing at drunken parties with friends, I met my wife and the guitar went in the case.  I sang a lot at this time, and got good feedback.  Well, 40 plus years later I’m recommitting.  Guitar will come with 3 hours a day practice.   But the singing is just awful.  
     

    I will look for a voice coach, t-bone, thanks.  Glad to see that is a real option.  You guys sounded good.  
     

    And Bogey - how do you ever put that thing down?

    I’m not clear.  Do you object to the intervention?  Are those words sufficient to absolve the noose displays?  You are Exxon mgt:  what would you do?

    I would investigate it in depth, fire the motherfuckers and their cohorts, and lawyer money whip any and all who contest the firings.   If they are numerous, lay a RICO charge on they asses.   Donziger style.

  7. There was a bagger.  Mr.  Ashworth.   His three sons were absolutely the fastest boys in town.  Anyway, my mom and he had a deal where after he bagged he allowed me to take the cart out and back.  It was a big deal. Building responsibility and all.

  8. Grew up an army brat, we shopped at the commissary.   I always took the cart back, starting at about 7 years old, as directed by my mom, of course, and I never saw a cart unreturned in those years.  And I guess it got into my psyche as “the right thing to do”.  My wife, not an army brat, has also always felt the same.  
    If the inconvenience is too much, and it is a tangible amount, then the rest of society’s demands/obligations must be unendurable.
