So? Better than government ****ing it away on some corrupt to the core
bull**** scheme.

I have no trouble in letting the people decide with their own money. In
the end they are usually 10000% more efficient than government, 10000%
more effective too.

And I am not particularly religious, but I respect leaving the choice to
the people.

Just fleabaggers want to use government and debt-tax slavery to feed
their incompetence and delinquency. Leave people the choice, they make
better decisions than a corrupt government any day.

They already pay a higher tax rate. You should have worked harder and
saved more and you would understand.

Smart rich are leaving the USA, let the fleabaggers have nothing. Nice
thing about todays money they didn't have in 1358 is it can be moved in
seconds.

Fact is these fleabaggers are lead by theory own envy and greed. In the

He'd leave except for one thing. His little darlin has a pretty decent
job at union headquarters. He won't admit it but that's what lured him
away from Florida. Can you imagine?

I really like Jerry Perry and his daughters video.

If you hunt around on the channel, you'll find several of them by Jerry and
his daughters. The first time
they performed they did a Creedence song ... the audience gasped when they
started harmonizing.

--------------------------------------------

We pretty much do that already. Every Thursday night we host an Open Mic
from 6pm to 10:30 or so.
Some performers are very, very good. Some should never quit their day
jobs. But, it's all for fun.

We also have hosted some mini-concerts for performers who are trying to take
a serious step towards
major recording contracts, etc. One young lady has just about made it.
Another is doing a concert
November 19th.

I don't charge people for this. I actually enjoy having them perform and I
get a kick out of recording them
live and running the sound system to try and make them sound as good as
possible. I get help from others
in the industry also who really have a passion for this this stuff. I
enjoy it, but I really am not a very good musician
so, I stick to the amps, mixers, PA systems, etc. I occasionally sit in
with a band either strumming a guitar or
trying to play the Hammond to add a little effect.

If you go to the shop's website and click on the "YouTube" logo, it will
take you to the shop's YouTube channel.
There you can view over 140 videos of various people performing on the shop
stage, most from Open Mic nights,
but some from mini-concerts. The video and audio varies from so-so to
halfway decent, depending on what
equipment I was using at the time and when it was done. The shop website
URL is: www.re-tunes.net

===================

Thanks for the link. Sounds like you are having fun with it. Next
time we're up that way I'll try and stop by.

My next door neighbor was Jim Chapin (Harry C's dad). He died broke in
spite of working a lifetime with the likes of most of the big band
guys and later some fairly famous rockers to whom he taught drum
techniques. The problem was, he never had any concept of money and he
hated the idea of "money making money" so he had absolutely zero
investments. I believe that is a pretty popular feeling amongst
artists. Of course you do have a few who understand money but they
tend to be marginal musicians with an excellent business plan. Jimmy
Buffett springs to mind.

==========

Jimmy's a good entertainer and I like most of his music. Just wish
that he would retroactively disband the "Save the Manatee" maniacs.

Too bad about Harry C's father. I went to college with his son Steve
and met Harry well before he was famous. Steve's dorm room was well
known for it's late night card games, usually Hearts. One of his
other son's, Tom, is very talented also. We have sometimes heard him
perform at a little club on the Hudson River north of NYC called "The
Turning Point", usually with a few of Harry's old group.

Wiki gives credit of the story to one Jean La Bel, but I
thought
this
line was interesting:

"The peasants involved in the rebellion seem to have lacked
any
real
organization, instead rising up locally as an unstructured
mass.
It is
speculated by Jean le Bel that evil governors and tax
collectors
spread the word of rebellion from village to village to
inspire
the
peasants to rebel against the nobility. When asked as to the
cause of
their discontent they apparently replied that they were just
doing
what they had witnessed others doing. Additionally it seems
that
the
rebellion contained some idea that it was possible to rid
the
world of
nobles. Froissart's account portrays the rebels as mindless
thugs
bent
on destruction, which they wreaked on over 150 noble houses
and
castles, murdering the families in horrendous ways."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquerie#The_uprising

In the 14th Century, the serfs had every reason to murder
nobles.
They
still do.

Harry, nobody has the right to 'murder' anyone...

In the 14th Century, the nobility murdered just about anyone it
pleased,
and with impunity. Since the serfs had no justice whatsoever
available
to them, turnabout was seen as fair play.

Even in this country and in this century, we have official
murder.
Some
may say that those killed in wars or by the executioner are not
murdered, but "the state" will say anything to justify its
actions.

Harry,. who do you have the right to murder, and who has the
right to
murder you?


Murder simply defined is *illegal* homicide. The country and many
states
engage in homicide and justify it by saying it was *legal*.
The state of course can make anything it likes legal, but that
doesn't
make it justified. Executions may be legal, but they are not
justified.
Killing of non-combatants in a war is murder.

The situation is different in a case of self-defense. I don't
have
the
right to murder anyone, but I do have the legal and I think moral
right
to defend myself or my wife from intruders who break into the
house
and
intend bodily harm. If that means shooting the intruders, so
be it.

It's not the same as execution. The state has a choice. It can
warehouse
violent offenders until they die of old age. There are no such
alternative when dealing with a home invader.

You should know that all intruders are not murderers and rapists.
You
better make sure you are targeted for bodily harm before you pull
the
trigger. Your paranoia will work against you in defense of a
shooting.
Think about that, big boy.


I'm more than a little familiar with gun safety and the "rules of
engagement" in this state. I take a couple of firearms courses
every
year, and in every course, safety is stressed.

If it is the middle of the night and someone breaks in and that
someone
is an ugly, squat little guy with a ponytail, I'll simply assume he
intends bodily harm and act accordingly. :) Maybe I'll have the
ponytail mounted on a wood base and hang it in the garage.

The reality is these days that a significant percentage of home
burglars
are drug addicts looking for "merch" to steal so they have
something to
pawn for cash.

I'm not in the least bit paranoid. I caught a burglar once, one who
started to come at me with a tire iron. He's probably just now
getting
out of the slammer, since he drew a 20-year sentence. He was a
big-time
burglar in NE Florida.

ahhhh haaaa, is that the one who stood directly in the middle of the
garage, against the wall, so you could sneak up on him with your
Toyota
Tundra and pin him perfectly against the wall till the cops got
there?
LOL, harry, nobody believes you, good Harrytale though...


No, **** for brains, I pinned him between the bumper of his car,
which
was in my garage, and my *FORD* truck's bumper. It's too bad you
don't
ever get anything right.

Yeah, uh.. What was the date on that, I bet the police report is a
spectacular read? Was this before or after your father crossed the
Atlantic in a small skiff to a fireboat welcome, or did you wait till
you graduated from Yale? snerk

D'oh. The crossing was not in a "small skiff," **** for brains.

Harry, you can't even keep up with your own lies. What was the date of
that Fireboat Welcome, because somebody seems to have forgotten to note
it anywhere? LOL! HarryTales...!!!

It was pre-internet, **** for brains. I doubt it is "noted" anywhere.
Why would it be?




So was this...

Harry's view is the Democrat/liberal view in that if the people are

what is "needed" to be done.

Clinton: "I can spend your money better than you can."
In a post-State of the Union speech in Buffalo, NY on January 20, 1999,
Bill Clinton was asked why not a tax cut if we have a surplus. Clinton's
response:
"We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right... But ...
if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013 --
that's just 14 years away -- taxes people pay on their payroll for
Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every
parent here to look at the young people here, and ask yourself, 'Do you
really want to run the risk of squandering this surplus?' "
