Music ♫ "I Love Vinyl"

I'v noticed that there has been a resurgent of some of the non, main stream musical talent that had small but loyal fallowing in the late 70s early 80s. These bands, for instance from Long Island, NY the Ramones and from the UK, the Sex Pistols. There was a long time, important fixture to the musical scene with it's reputation of featuring new and also established talent, and that place was CBGBs in NYC. There was one band for the most part, pioneered an offshoot of the "Punk" sound. This sound known for it's high speed, raw and to the point attitude,it was called "Hardcore". Latter spawning Thrash and Speed Metal. There was one band that had that fire and they are the Bad Brains. Giving rise to bands such as The Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, Flipper, and so many more that I would love to list. But to my surprise and delight, The Bad Brains from Washington D.C. have reissued an exact copy of there first 7" 45rpm single, "Pay To Cum" I couldn't have been happier, since I love Vinyl records.If your interested, go too...  http://www.badbrainsofficialstore.com/dontpaytocum/  and check it out.

Net Neutrality and the Fairness Doctrine

Just Thinking☁ Again, matters of equality. Legislation that would determine ones perception of fairness. Based on a concept of social justice and not equal justice. Limiting speech and opinion not deemed main stream by an elitists class of individuals that see them selves as a educated progressive advanced gourd. To champion laws like the "Fairness Doctrine", which would certainly violate the first Amendment of the US constitution.
Individuals are under no obligations to be fair. The said concept, is a question of conscience, self determination and personal morality. Also free Enterprise in regard to broadcasting a message or advocacy of an opinion shared by a group or an individual. Fairness can not lend credence to such a law that is meant to control the ideas and words of an opposing point of view. These laws would be truly be oppressive      

Big Government

Just Thinking☁ Fear Government, that determines issues of fairness. Success and failure, exceptional thought, opinion or expression that is not main stream.

The Poor

Just Thinking☁ Ah, everyone claims to care about the poor in America and abroad. But there are some that suggest that many of the rich and political advocates of the said rich are some how responsible for making their plight worse. That would suggest they had some thing of value in the first place. there are many reason for poverty in America, one is not theft. It would be a paradox to suggest that government tax cuts to wealthy people and corporations is taking money from the poor.  It simply stops the redistribution of private property from one class to the other.
What are the poor doing to help the poor. if the poor don't pay taxes but receive money from citizens who do, is just called a grant or plain giving. The wealthy keeping there money, is referred to as heartless and sometimes as theft.
These thoughts are going to require more time, for a more thorough and productive conclusion.

Europe and Libya

Just Thinking☁ In an effort to reclaim "American Prestige and Respect". Formulating a scheme to appease European economic advantage when it comes to it's need for oil. A vast majority of Libya's oil and natural gas goes to Europe. Where was Europe when Bosnia needed help, in their own back yard?
In the 1990s Iraq's "Oil for Food " program evolved in to a UN unsanctioned free for all. Deals were made by certain countries in Europe. Continued lobbying and prodding in regard to the UN security council, to lift or lighten sanctions against Iraq, to give contracts legitimacy to these corrupt UN deals . After 9-11-01 Many countries saw America as vulnerable. And they pounced at the chance to be greedy.  George Bush saw things differently. And pushed back, by invading Iraq, making it difficult for some to exploit the resources of Iraq.
              President Obama sees things differently too, "World Governing" drawling people away from nationalism "One Word Culture" or Order The George Soros plan, It reminds me when John Kerry called for a international minimum wage during his presidential run...Why are US Unions stirring up things in Europe.  "Workers of the World Unite" Where have I heard that? The war in Libya for Europe's oil will soon be explained. Iraq is becoming more clear to me now. Not how or why it was waged, but why there was so much opposition to it. Both here and abroad.
              It's a shame the opposition to the Iraq war had nothing to do with violence or the lose of life,
and I fear the same will be true of Libya.
  

Media Matters ☭

Just Thinking☁     "Media Matters" has proven to be Fascists, idealistic adolescent crybabies. A cooperative system way of living that will change once they are kicked out of their parents houses, and forced to live in the real world...
By the way, I don't believe god exists,and I'm not ultra right wing, so now you may know were I'm coming from, if not you also may not understand what I am writing about.
 I don't believe all "Progressives" live at home with their parents, but cling to an idea of entitlement that comes from years of social enabling by parents, academia and of course the Media...Just Thinking, O and Government may also want get out of the social engineering game.
So, Media Matters claims to be a watchdog group with a level regard for accuracy and truth when it come to broadcast news media outlets. That couldn't be further from the truth.
They are an advocacy group with no regard for objective reporting, hardly Progressive, They are illinformed and irrational with a narrow minded objective to silence anyone who disagrees with them, or the people who champion there beliefs... Beyond Propaganda, it's Thuggery. Plain and simple.

Gordon's Forum: Public Unions

Beginning with the question of equality, or ones concept of  fairness. Legislators, on behalf of the public has provide state employees with certain privileges, along with a good salary. But with a strategically structured contract that is inconsistent with the open and fair market exchange. I think that the public deserves, and can get a better deal.

An advocate for the people. That trust has been lost, forfeited to groups who's interests are only to it's members.
I'm talking about Unions. Taking credit for an entire class off people, without a patent product or an Idea, has manipulated and misled an entire population. Now fractured and weary, the people struggle to repair the collective damage done by all. Our greed our ignorance has led us astray, but our belief  in our selves can change
the direction of our future.
