So we should read a painfully long article because it makes important points that you can't (or won't) articulate. OK.

Can you give an executive summary?

This has shown up at least 3 times on my Facebook feed this morning. Never heard of the guy before, but it is well-written and reflective. Probably too evangelical at the end for many of you. Also, KevinG's replies to Hixter continue to entertain.

Remember Ebola (Should it be capitalized? Chrome wants it that way.)? One of the things I saw over and over about Ebola in America is that people should be much more concerned about diseases that actually kill large numbers of Americans (cancer, heart disease, flu, HIV, etc). Let's apply that logic here. Blacks are most often killed by blacks. As the link I provide shows, whites are most often killed by whites too and there are a lot of reasons for that as the article explains. But if we were to address issues based upon their likelihood to occur, we would be much more focused on deterring

I got a fucking robo call today about Keystone. That shit was supposed to stop after the election.

I know a few people who came legally from Mexico. They don't feel like their teeth are being kicked in. That was done by INS. Arbitrarily scheduled meetings in cities miles away, delays caused by incompetent officials. Feom my point of view, we need these laborers and then bitch about them when they show up.

I saw him open for Ryan Adams a month or so ago. He played that song. Many years ago, I'd seen the Pretenders in the same venue. He started off very slow, but when his band came out, he played 3 or 4 really solid songs.

Today has been hard.

Three observations: 1. I teared up pretty thick when Ray started the show. I am sure that wasn't easy. 2. Their mother laughs exactly like them. What a household that must have been to grow up in. 3. I was really tickled when his wife called in.

Best laugh I had all day.

Brad Meldhau, James Carter.

Great story!

Damn shame.

Yep. Again, just a casual fan. Eat a Peach and Fillmore are the only CDs I own.

So I listened to my Eat a Peach CD today. Never realized there was a Butch Trucks in the band back then. I figured he had to be related to Derek. A quick google search confirmed that he was his uncle. Not a HUGE Allmans fan, but surprised I'd never figured that out before.

Parts of the finale are a letdown, but that climax?? Holy crap!!

Ida. I don't see too many foreign films. I reall enjoued this one. I think I heard of it via a Jason Isbell tweet.

I think Baaumgarner srarts game 7. He's got all winter to rest and if he doesn't people will always second guess if the Royals win.

The Cubs would present a whole different (great, but different) vibe because of the history, Wrigley, big market.

To elaborate on my earlier post. I don't think anything that's mutually agreeable with come close to being a solution. I don' think piecemeal legislation will have much of an impact on anything.

No. Bans like the U.K. would work, but we won't go there. Anything less than that would have mixed results.

Ooh. Let's all talk about gun control.now.

QFT. I may be convince of the same for fleeing the U.S. to go fight for ISIS.
