What this lay dog is saying is the results show systematic bias, whatever the intention. Yes, humans cause most of this, and other fields are not great analogues. But the results show bias, full stop. I am interested, Twice, in what you, an expert, would change. Society’s desires about legal result fairness should matter.

Well said. But, again with the intentions. If the car I design and build doesn’t work in the real world, then my intentions are irrelevant. When physicists and engineers look at systems, there is no care in looking at intentions. Sure, they are sometimes latent in the system, but it is how the system really works that matters. Many people here seem to just say the system does not work well enough. Does discussion of intentions get us anywhere? It can help find the bug but just keeping the bug because of intentions looks like not caring, shrouded by sophistication.

I had just wished I were, there for a while, but that’s in the past. You must be an old goat now.

11 years ago, when considering retirement, we looked hard at Austin and Houston. We had lived in Houston the prior four years and grew to enjoy it, but for retirement it wasn’t, uh, a beautiful solution. Austin was too damn expensive for any premium property. Long story short, Seattle was cheaper than Austin. I can highly recommend western WA, for you poor folks trapped there in Texas. It is run by normal, responsible people, and looks to be doing that for some time in the future. That wasn’t among the selection criteria 11 years ago. Now it would be at the top.

In each case we have systems, that deliver some objectionable results. We look to the “owners” of these institutions for redress, improvement, what have you. In these limited cases of professional behavior the institutional owners are the professional members themselves. There are indeed details differing among/between cases. The root question isn’t about these details. It concerns why, oh why, oh why the fuck don’t these member bodies do a better job?

How is this not attempted legislative stochastic murder?

Twice I’m one who confesses that your posts about what one should really expect have been educational. Also frustrating as many have indicated. But the post above bothered me a bit. This whole notion of what is intended is abstract, but the difference in legal results between the rich and poor is not. It is this difference that matters, it’s absolute value, not the relative sub distances from some imaginary centroid in the legal hyperspace. Such a thing cannot be identified. So let’s focus on the difference in these cases when we ask ourselves what is right and what is wrong.

650 Thx for the color ID, and for looking up the serial. Too easy for me to have done. The Seattle guys are Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar. You really need to ogle their inventory via their website.

650 Could not tell you, I’m not informed enough. Looks much browner than the regular cherry ish sunbursts. The tobacco ones I’ve seen were this slightly variegated light brown. , solid not sunburst. You have 5 of these, right?

And for Martin. Sorry about the dust.

Pics for LP

Nice humor. Three fiddy a bit off. 2 screws plus the three pickup screws on the neck pickup. Gibson style. Pics coming

I was previously on these sites as NBMisha. A bad back injury set me back a couple of years and I couldn’t now remember my credentials, thus a different, even goofier name. You guys get my inaugural post. ‘I goofed around for most of my life just playing around on guitar, for short periods every 5 years or so. After 2 years of being unable to play, I have now started over. One of the tasks is to rationalize the guitar inventory as I focus on one our two. I am new to the selling game. I live on Bainbridge Is WA, and am talking to a Seattle shop about consignment. Of course I could mail things anywhere in the US, according to testimony on this board. I just thought I ought to expose you all to these. 1. 1994 Les Paul Std, sunburst. This has maybe 6 hours playing time. When buying a piano for my then 1st grader I got talked into getting this. I was completely unready, had no teacher (then in Sumatra), so back in the case it went. 30 years later, it needs to get into the right hands. I can’t imagine there is a more mint 94 LP. Internet shows strong pricing for early 90’s. I’d be looking to get 75% of “retail” plus shipping. This is what the local guys are offering. 2,. 1975 Martin D28-12. This is two owner, the first being my original teacher in Bakersfield, and I was so amazed I bought it in 1978. Played it a couple years then life, marriage, etc put the kibosh on guitar for a few decades. The pick guard has been replaced. Martin case, etc. Same terms as above. if there is any interest I can post pictures and we can conjecture around numbers. If no interest, no problem. Glad to be back among you folks. Appreciate any advice you have on this.
