Noted and repaired. I stand by my opinion, but not my review thereof. Thanks for the feedback.

Comment on Ruminations Inspired by Camus, Fed by Frustration with American Politics, and Driven by a Desire for Change by jrluke

If only we could expedite the process. In Camus’ “American Journals” there’s a resounding sentiment of distaste for what he’d seen and felt in his exploration of the Americas, specifically in New York City, Philly, D.C. This visit was during the WWII years regarding which points out: “One feels that it,(America), has been completely unaware of the war. In the course of a few years Europe, which was several centuries ahead in knowledge, moved several centuries ahead in moral consciousness.” One of those little truths American arrogance denies as significant and that somehow we’ve introduced a whole new way of life, a way of life for which all humans should naturally desire. Camus’ point is that despite all our ostentatious displays of superiority in the spirit of capitalism, he had no sense of love as in it didn’t exist for him by nature of American culture.

An American whose aquaintance was made in his travels named Tucci pointed out in a manner devoid of humor told him: “Human relationships are very easy here because there are no human relationships. Everything stays on the surface. Out of respect and from laziness.” Certainly how I might’ve put it but the observance rings both true and doleful. Validating my sense of disconnect and alienation from others people around me causing to expect something little from those around me and any hope for a sense of community. Enough said. J

Saw the show, feel about the same as you. Right up until the end, there.

The Walking Bicycles description was written in such poor form as “I’m going to review how this record sounds based on the artwork”.

Sorry to complain, but this is a pet peeve of mine. It’s the kind of writing that can make you stand out from or lump you in with “elitist asshole”-type journalism.

Glad you liked the openers, they were both amazing bands!!
But, how can you review a band you admittedly did not see? Second, as for the bands names.. TYSL and Unicycle both have Love in their names. So…… For future clarification.. Highwheel Records is owned by Walking Bicycles so glad you like one of our artists, next time you should see the bands you review. You should do some research on what is it you are reviewing! Again, thanks for the Unicycle Loves You love..

Hear! Hear! It is time for a revolution in our society. Our forefather’s must be turning over in their graves at what has happened with the freedom they gave us. I think we should throw out all the politicians and CEO’s and replace them with farmers, bankers, merchants, housewives, and other common sense people!!

Comment on Bush’s Ideal of Moderation by redefinite

I think you missed the point. I’m not arguing for the legitimacy of the war anymore… the time for that discussion has passed, sadly. Nor am I advocating a no-holds-barred evacuation, which, I agree, would probably be disastrous. What I think I made fairly clear was that Bush’s ideal of moderation, like most other syllables passing his lips, is an explicit equivocation, and that secondly his motivation for the escalation of forces in Iraq is misguided, at best. If our goal is to win the war on terror and restore order to Iraq and the greater Middle East with any sort of dignity, this troop increase is certainly not the way to do it, as evidenced by its misappropriated ideology.

Right or wrong on whether we should have gone into Iraq in the first place is no longer the question. What we need to realize is if we leave now, what will happen to the millions of everyday people under the threat of fundamentalist terror, who will overtake the country and make it a haven for all terrorist groups.
