TWIN PEAKS 2016 may not happen after all
Are you kidding WW? Rocky Horror remains huge over here. Funny thing is that I've never seen it...

TWIN PEAKS 2016 may not happen after all
It's even on BBC News http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32763883 Makes me wonder. Are the British familiar with the "Rocky Horror Picture Show"? It's a cult classic, in the U.S. at least with audience participation. …

The Chain Playlist
Since the "chain" here doesn't doesn't always seem to link, I thought this would be a better place to put this than "TV sentimentality". So, I'll consider it a zen link. One of the rudest and, yet, funniest songs…

Interesting that you noticed, Wi, it crossed my mind when reading it, but I really think you are right. "Auguries of Innocence" seems much more likely to be the source. Though I am extremely preferential of rhyming poetry, I really liked…

denial or no denial, it doesn't seem to have any substantial impact on Brits' behaviour, I feel... Ha! That seems true in the U.S., as well. As usual, people want somebody else (e.g. the government) to do something about it...and, then,…

Kinda wierd as I just can't imagine anything worse than the U.S. media. I mean, Fox News? Unbelievable. The the talk radio, the same. The interesting thing is that they really attempt to make it all sound so sensible and people listen! It&…

It seems the UK political process is working just about as well as the U.S. version. I hate to endorse a conspiracy theory but it seems to me that the conservative parties have found a way to rig the system. In the U.S., at least, it is fairly …

I like discussions where there is a point, an exchange of ideas and such. I must say, though, that I am more and more skeptical of the whole atheist idea. Right up there with existentialism and solipsism for resembling a treadmill. Self-actualiza…

happiness to come in the afterlife Altogether, that's one fine quote. That piece about happiness in the afterlife really chimes, though. That is why I prefer the thought of reincarnation. With most religions, the feeling is we're scre…

I do believe in a force that is behind all we know. That sounds like theism to me. Just not a graybeard. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Well, that's just wrong, according to alot of physics theories. Black holes and singularities…

So, let me see if I've got this whole atheist point of view figured out. Is it, "All of existence is what I see and, since I can't see beyond my own death, what I see is all there is."? or, Is it a violent reaction to all of …

I think being sure about what is happening and what is going to happen on the other side is extreme hubris. There is no evidence of any sort, for or against. That being said, I can't say there's a lot going for some greybeard up in the s…

I can't think of any UK artists/bands who have described themselves as being religious. You seem quite proud of that.

He'd drown. Personally, I have zero use for photos. They don't capture the moment for me. Only my memory can do that.

This seems to line up with what I am thinking pretty well. With the pressures of the business community combined withe the scientists' concern about ever being seen as being an alarmist, the predictions are extremely conservative. I doubt it…

Honestly, who else has written songs that can be easily described as Bond songs that were not written for the movie?

Hahahaha! You're funny, Kat. I have a quandary as to whether to believe those stories, as well. The problem is does one want to be a conspiracy theorist and believe that important stories are suppressed by the big names, like Reuters, AFP, e…

Concerning global warming, my concern is that we are underestimating the potential for disaster, as well as temperature change. Scientists are conservative by job choice. You get bashed to a pulp for seeming flighty and not grounded in reality. S…

I guess my view is a bit different. All of the systems by which the world are governed are screwed, so it doesn't matter who is in office. There is a better way and wasting any time on the current systems and their ilk is a waste of time. It…

He often said if someone wanted to be in politics, this alone should bar them from doing it. Good plan. I liked Heinlein's suggestion. Every law should only be implemented if it is 100% "Yea" votes and, at any time after that, a …
