No Depression. I know that album doesn't resemble a Wilco album as we usually think of it, but if you consider the life of a band as a continuum, then you have to include its starting point. Therefore, Uncle Tupelo is worth protecting.

Wow, that song really, really works for that clip.

Seeing her live made me feel lucky to merely be in the presence of such a voice.

What I said is that in our current political and social climate, and in light of the emotional, psychological, medical, and private aspects--which contain far more complex and varying strains than adult deaths do--wound up in the issue, a government intervention is not the most useful, effective means of combating abortion. Would I personally oppose abortions that happen legally? Yes. To be meaningful and enforceable, all laws must be pragmatic.

I dunno... I guess there's always hope for the best.

Wow, you really, really missed all the nuances of what I said in this thread.

Love to, but got a thing for my sister's birthday--knives will probably play a role there, too.

Hope you don't mind, but this is now my desktop pic!

And Mizoguchi.

I almost included a similar pic with my last post!!

Well, the search for life must go on...

Once? My head's in someone's vagina at least twice a week.

I'm hoping for "You Are My Face" or "Hate It Here."

But you got me all wrong... If I could abort 50 fetuses in exchange for new outfielders for my softball team, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Plus, I bought a whoopee cushion today. True story.

SWEET! I don't care what the universe thinks--that T-shirt fuckin' matters!

Indeed. It may be arrogant and self-centered, but what's the alternative? Hopeless nihilism?

Yeah, that's one of his best, for sure.

Perhaps I have overlooked how the history of mankind is, indeed, the history of rational behavior. The rational choice may be the 12 embryos, but faced with the emotions of the moment, I don't believe many humans would make the rational choice--just like no parent would ever let their own child die to save 12 strangers, despite that being the rational act. But how is this the most pressing aspect of my argument? More importantly, the Brewers are up 6-1 on the Cubs! I'm out. TV is calling.

No fisticuffs--I understand and respect ....'s perspective, and have even agreed with quite a few of his posts in this thread. It's just an interesting conversation.
