Hard News: Steve, 1999, in reply to Simon Bennett,
I’ll still buy the CD for the richer sound.
There's this nifty device if you have an outboard DAC as part of your music setup. To listen to other music stored on your computer.
I hope your not using the headphone out to connect to a stereo. At least buy a usb adapter. -

On the positive side, adversity can breed great leaders.
So thats the get out clause?

Muse: Start The Week, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
I do have my doubts my Crumb was in serious risk of being assassinated by enraged tabloid-reading Sydney-siders
Of course he wasnt. And the aging Rev Fred Nile et al would now be fulminating from their mobility scooters anyway. Kind of looks... silly. But it did occasion the eloquent blog post and he does like to "share". For which I say thanks. And there was Ghostworld, first time I saw Scarlett.

One can see in this example how skilled media professionals with low standards of integrity are able to mould and manipulate public opinion, popular beliefs and, ultimately, the direction of politics. The majority of the population in most places is not alert to this kind of deceptive manipulation. They are more or less defenseless against such clever ''perception management''.
Amen to that Mr Crumb!
And that Irish cricket music is very nice innit. -

they decided they quite liked being the ones with the wealth and power
again this is an individual track not a generational one. Name the people who fall into this category and we might be getting somewhere.

However, Mike Joy was a star and I thought the perspectives from the Maori scientists was interesting.
OK I'll bite. Interesting yes quite a useful word really.
So the Taniwha is for our benefit warning of a possible rip in a river flow. Yes many primitive peoples came up with this kind of explanation. Its a fiction of course, but are we supposed to play along all the same?
And the anthropologist's "there are many truths" gambit. Well yes I suppose you could say that. So what now? I want my individual truth, is that OK?Also the word dinosaur caused the host to do a double take. But personally I couldn't fault the use of the word in the context in which it was made.

Hard News: London's Burning, in reply to BenWilson,
Will humans have the sense to realize that we have the power to make heaven on earth
Bit late for that there's just to many of us. But.....you know....... maybe in a few years we could all get a condo in your 3rd choice location, and a job which doesnt require too much time.

“The police objective was to maintain law and order and ensure that no one died as a result of public beliefs.”
There must be a statistic for that...
Death caused by public belief.
