Lately, I have noticed a lot of posters going for each others throats because of difference of opinion related to subject matter. I know this forum is filled with high emotions toward various subject matter because that's what music and music related subjects are made of. Why should we corrupt our haven with negativity, when we come here for joy. ALL I AM SAYING...IS GIVE PIECE A CHANCE...!

HEY HIRAM,I HOPE THAT RALPH DOESN'T HAVE TO DISPATCH A PEACEKEEPING MISSION TO SOME OF THESE THREADS,HEY FOLKS RELAX HUSSAIN HAS BEEN DISPOSED OF!

Just kidding, but, really, it should be give PEACE a chance 'cause I'm currently in the midst of a bit of a dry spell and when I see give PIECE a chance, I automatically think "why, hell yes!"

As I heard on one of David Letterman's top 10 things that the Iraqi information minister said....The statues of Saddam are just being taken down to be cleaned.

Hiram...Rest easy pal. We really are one big family here.

Gandhi said, "Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and test of our civilization." The end of this millennium signals a higher consciousness of love and acceptance of all people - something that we could have learned centuries ago from the native cultures, if only we hadn't perceived them as inferior.

Good one Hiram,Looks like we both went to different schools together...

Why people are up tight.
24 by 7 coverage of:
18 months coverage

911
Afghanistan
Osama
Mideast conflict
Saddam
DC Sniper
Kidnappings
Threat level alerts
Iraqi war
WDM
West Nile Virus
SARS
And on and on..

Solution?
Boycott CNN,FOX,MSNBC and others for their coverage.
Turn off the TV
Fire up the CD players,Turntables
Put on you favorite music
and get right with yourself.

I've got a satellite dish and my tv stays off,but I've got 48 channels of music to choose from feeding my stereo.

You got the right idea, Dick. Into the crusher with the TV, then we can start to think for ourselves again and move toward the world Vickie is talking about. It's out there.

Hiram:

No matter what the spelling of peace, I am in agreement 100%. I have been victim to the occasional nastiness and left the forum for a while because of it. It is just not necessary to be ugly to have a discussion.

By Vickie (64.12.97.7) on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 12:37 pm:

Hey Dave my friend (bank house)
I cancelled my cable for that very reason..
I get local TV only, local news and Seinfeld re-runs..suits me fine.....

Vickie

By Dick Gamble (216.93.77.76) on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 01:13 pm:

Vickie, I couldn't agree more with what we could have learned from the native cultures,but it's not to late. I've been studying the Native American cultures now for the last 15 years and am amazed at how skewed the history has been presented to us.

Do we really have Indigo Children? or are we being deceived on this one also? ADD, ritalin,been down that road before..

By BankHouseDave (195.93.50.9) on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 03:52 pm:

Hello again, Vickie. We can get Seinfeld, but the dumbing down of British TV is in free-fall and has been for some time. I only keep it as an alcohol substitute and to watch videos on. They just appointed a new bloke to oversee standards of taste and decency - not too taxing as there aren't any - and all the psychos already in the focus group objected because he was religious. But we live in hope that it can all be put right at some unspecified time in the new millennium. At least people like CCHR are doing something about the child drugging.

The Seattle P-I the other day ran a full page ad, the top half being a picture of Mike Cameron (Mariner outfielder) connecting with a pitch at the plate. The banner under it: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What war, what problems. IT'S BASEBALL SEASON.
My TV problems are solved until late October.

By SisDetroit (68.42.209.170) on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 04:03 pm:

OK Hiram.
Dick Gamble - I will take your advise on the solution.

By Sly fan (67.115.75.26) on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 04:20 pm:

all I gotta say is I love all of yall!!!

In the words of Leonard Kravitz:

Let Love RULE.


Buy a happy meal for pete's sake...
