How was Isakov? I love his albums - especially the latest. They just announced him for Sunday at Newport Folk.

He probably utilized them as household appliances. Dishwashers, vacuums & such. I know I would!

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you, man. Keep us posted.

Hopefully the former. Just messing with you.

When?

Not just ignore but deny and, when possible, impede.

I don't recall anyone saying that. This thread was about Creationists, not belief in general.

Pink Moon. Wow, I'd love to hear that. Hope a recording surfaces. Great set lists for both of these shows.

Best wishes and love to you & your family, Sue.

I'm all for people believing whatever makes them happy, but the only way it should be treated, if at all, in public schools is as literature or (and I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers here) mythology. It isn't history, and there's very little morality in the holy books of any of the big three religions. Again, whatever makes you happy. Just don't force it on others. I think that's reasonable.

Aw, someone's inner light isn't working...

But which inner light? Presumably each religion has it's own? That's a lot of gods. I'll stick with logic, reality and proven facts, thanks. Does your "inner light" direct you to call people who don't share your superstitions "nuts"?

Which one?

Right on! Happy New Guitar Day !

Yikes.

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2014/01/creationism_in_public_schools_mapped_where_tax_money_supports_alternatives.html The U.S. Is already lagging way behind in science education. This sort of thing is exacerbating the situation.

Spoken like someone who hasn't been paying attention. Reading, while challenging for some, is always worth the effort. I suggest you try it.

Oh, I totally agree with you. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near public office large or small. Look at the bullshit they were/are pulling in Texas with the text books - all it took was a few loons getting elected to a school board. Or consider the batch of GOP candidates during the last election. Or some who sit on the House "Science " committee. It's dangerous.

So where do we draw the line as to what should be dignified with a response? How much time would you waste trying to convince someone that the earth isn't flat? It's just not worth the effort, and the only people who'd consider you "afraid" for not debating are the same cretins whose minds will never change anyway. Leave them to their fantasies and move on.

For all his good intentions, I think Nye made a mistake in participating. Most real scientists won't engage these people because doing so implies that there's actually something to debate. It lends creationism a completely undeserved air of legitimacy. For instance, CNN's coverage was under the heading "Creationism vs Evolution: The Debate Heats Up". It's maddening. Creationists are deeply, willfully ignorant and proud of it. I couldn't care less about them until they start trying to push it on others via politics and education. Unfortunately they're constantly doing so.

1. She Said She Said 2. Fool on the Hill 3. The End 4. A Day in the Life 5. Penny Lane Or, as Charlie suggested, the entire Revolver sessions.

So don't go. It's not mandatory.

Pay in full 6 months in advance?! There's no justification for that. I'd cancel on them too. Unfortunately, with that much cash coming into the area, people are going to get greedy. Higher rates, 4 night minimums, etc.

Yeah , I called the Holiday Inn too. They said it was reserved for the bands, etc. I booked at Maple Terrace in Willimastown. There's a four night minimum, but that's how long we want to stay anyway. I spoke with the owner and he seems like a nice guy. Last year we stayed at Crowne Plaza in Pittsfield. It was ok, but although it was only 20 miles away it seemed like the longest drive, so we decided to stay closer this time.

I just booked our hotel for the weekend.
