"Equality" Not the same as Social Justice

The argument over income inequality would suggest, that people with mediocre talents be rewarded equally to their more tallented counterpart. The practice of socialism is truly regressive. Historical evidence suggests socialism never guided a civilization towards prosperity. Empathy is a noble human characteristic, but can be extremely divisive when used in name of "Fairness".  Such a measure only interrupts liberty, and to date has shown no evidence to the contrary. Using class and envy against citizens is a strategy, which has disrupted prosperous societies in the past, and will diminish our chances for a prosperous future.

Cleverly Crafted Conjecture is a shithead reason to Vote for someone

Not voting, does not forfeit my right to complain and express my feelings publicly.  
But I am considering not vetoing,  for the first time in 30 years. 
It's a shame people like Barack Obama only care about the votes they do get,
..not the ones they can't get. 
Again, that's a shame. Because that absolutely divides people and culture. 
His overbearing confidence that masks a condescending attitude that breeds envy and decent among neighbors, deepens that divide.
Not voting is a difficult choice to make. Because of religious conservatism has become just as distrusting, as the socialist progressive movement is. But, not Voting may mean that I am giving up on my Liberty, the liberty that means every thing to me.
 I do not want promises and the bounty of someone else's labor, just that my Liberty be protected, and not be traded for trinkets like healthcare, abstract concepts of living wage or religious customs like marriage to be defined. Just Liberty   

Who will protect Liberty, if they only care about votes          

The Promise that only Takes

Capriciously Accommodating, Socialism is a Deception...
Why else would relatively Intelligent Adults Surrender their Liberty

"Hope & Change"

...Obama, and his metaphoric polices seem real to some people. Dangerous to Free Enterprise and Individualism.  Regulating wealth expands poverty. And has the opposite effect, of what is has recently been described as a "level playing field" and does not achieve or meet the demands of an alienated class of people, manipulated, maligned then ultimately believing what they have been told. That belief is, that there shortcomings and there failings, are a result of greed by others. Instead of keeping pace and making the constant corrections needed to maintain contemporary or more sophisticated lifestyle.

Music & Art

Illustrated expression and musical composition has never been divided by a fine line.
The two mediums have always been intertwined. Also they have molded Culture and refined the human experience. With the advent recorded sound vinyl records have always gave special presentation to the music you listen to. It has started trends, in fashion, attitude and social conscience.
Vinyl  records, and the artwork on the covers have always been special. The relationship such as; "The Velvet Underground" together with  "Andy Warhol" or art students from Ohio, known as "Devo" who have contributed to this relationship. Also to music videos' a genre that has had a tremendousness influence on the culture at large, aspects of which where I wouldn't even know where to begin...Except maybe with, well (Here it Comes), MTV    
 One way to promote an album, was with a little bit of  flare or abstract expression that was out of ordinary. Giving the boring and conventional standard black discs, just something more than just music. Picture Discs, was an exciting way for the listener to experience music. For the collector it added just a little more. One being value, some rare and others not so much. The digital format, known as compact discs can also can be produced in the same way. But like some may say, size does matter. One aspect of the compact discs, is a slight flaw. The detail of the artwork is difficult to see as well as the booklet insert.
Vinyl is making a come back, with me it has never really left. It's popularity is growing once again;  many old classics are being reissued, not just in CD format, but there original vinyl form. Yard sales, Flea markets and used record shops are the place to go. So spend a day just shopping, even if it's for an old copy of The Velvet Underground or John Coltrane. So, I'm going to help promote the growth of this great format and continue buying and collecting them. New or used, they are all great treasures...
Next time, I'm going to explore the the great world of turntables, AKA "Phonographs"
