Congress Must Keep Liberty’s Flame Alive

In this age of the Internet and high-tech surveillance, is individual liberty irrelevant, obsolete or just undervalued? The answer could well be all of the above, judging from tepid public and congressional reactions to recent government intrusions into individual privacy, speech, press and association rights. Twenty-one years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Pennsylvania Assembly sent a letter to the colonial governor urging him to sign a bill he was opposing on orders from headquarters (the monarchy). Included in the letter is a passage widely attributed to Benjamin Franklin, a member of the assembly, sounding the clarion call of liberty: “Those who would ...
Conservatives more susceptible to believing falsehoods

Conservatives are less able to distinguish political truths from falsehoods than liberals, mainly because of a glut of right-leaning misinformation, a new national study conducted over six months shows. Researchers found that liberals and conservatives in the United States both tended to believe claims that promoted their political views, but that this more often led conservatives to accept falsehoods while rejecting truths. One of the main drivers of the findings appeared to be the American media and information environment. “Both liberals and conservatives tend to make errors that are influenced by what is good for their side,” said Kelly Garrett, co-author of the study and ...

Memorial Day Prayer Honoring Those Who Have Sacrificed Their Lives Heavenly Father, I come to You in Jesus’ Name to ask You to direct my thinking to honor those in the military who have paid the ultimate price of giving their life for the many years of freedom our nation has enjoyed. Fighting so that others can go on living and enjoying freedom requires service and self-sacrifice. Thank you that over the years, and still today, many in the military have followed the example of Jesus. John 15:12-13 “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” I ask that You ...

Study: Americans choose media messages that agree with their views A new study provides some of the strongest evidence to date that Americans prefer to read political articles that agree with the opinions they already hold. Researchers found that people spent 36 percent more time reading articles that agreed with their point of view than they did reading text that challenged their opinions. Even when they did read articles that countered their views, participants almost always balanced that with reading others that confirmed their opinions. The study is important because it is one of the first to record what people actually read and link these findings to their views on the same ...
The Myth of Fact Based Opinions

The Myth of Fact Based Opinions Some friends were having a discussion about something that both have strong, but different, opinions. They became clearly frustrated and the tone of the discussion turned south. That is what set me to thinking about all this, though this post is not about them at all. The same thing happens to me. It’s just that it was on my mind while I was doing yard work that could have been a fine opportunity for some mindfulness practice. But I couldn’t not think about this. It happens so often to all of us. Two presumably intelligent people who strongly hold different opinions about a subject. Both believing in the correctness of their view because their ...

NASCAR boss condemns the 'jackass' flying a Confederate flag over Talladega before Sunday's race Steve O'Donnell has made clear on multiple occasions how he feels about the flag NASCAR is no longer allowing to be displayed at its events and properties. He sent yet another clear signal Sunday. O'Donnell, who is NASCAR's executive vice president and chief racing development officer, tweeted a message a few hours before the scheduled start time of Sunday's Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in response to a massive Confederate flag banner with the words "Defund NASCAR" being flown by a plane over the track. Some media members covering the NASCAR ...

he pagan ritual of transformation Julian Huxley once wrote that the basic elements in cultural transmission and transformation are psychological. This is how we change. Since time immemorial, high rituals have been performed to transform reality.Ritual is a spiritual psycho-drama of consciousness; a deliberate action taken to facilitate change; changes to the whole of the environment people exist in, starting with the mental landscape of the people themselves; “the place where our reality exists is first born in a dream.”Artist Sharon Devlin once bluntly described the true purpose of ritual as being a:“… method to alter one’s mind. It’s a sacred drama in which ...

This is the official video for "Fire On The Moon." The song originally appeared on GRAND FURY. The video was made several years later when the song was re-released as part of MEET THE BELLRAYS on Poptones. This is the cleanest version as it is from the PAL tape we had converted to digital. Do not try to adjust your screen - this is made this way on purpose.

Poster Comment:Amusing initial comment/observation alongs with follow up reaction/comments to this as well as throughout the thread. Thanks to YouTube, young generations are listening/watching older music and are witness to good tunes, (relative) innocence, and care-free times. Of further note: The same performer here (Tony Burrows) also performed 'My Baby Loves Loving' (1970), 'United We Stand' (1970), and 'Beach Baby' (1974) for four different phantom "groups."

You know the signs: She sleeps out in the rain and gets a cold so her friend’s dog can fit in the tent. He lends money to his friends, knowing they won’t pay him back, then struggles to pay his own bills. If a friend calls her stupid, she whips up a batch of cookies and makes a card that reads, “Sorry for disappointing you.” And despite all their efforts to be liked by everyone, many people disrespect them. ...

What Makes This Song Great? (Boston, 'More Than A Feeling') -- Rick Beato [Full Thread]

Poster Comment:Rick Beato's intricate breakdowns of songs, music, and techniques is pretty cool. Boston's first album (1976) in my opinion is a Top 10 of all time. Still nothing sounds like it, never has since. Boston was its own genre. Summer of '77. Second album (1978) was good as well. I remember the anticipation of this second Boston album, buying it immediately. That was pretty much the end of Boston (aside from the single, Amanda), on their third album ten years later in 1986.
