ParticipantDan: Whatever our differences, the fact you put Philip K. Dick at the top of your list makes you the man! Greatest sci-fi author ever, and Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke can kiss my a**.
Have you ever read “The Man in the High Castle”? Excellent alternative history novel that postulates an Axis victory in WWII.
CardiffBaseball: The lead for Rage is a Chomsky groupie, and his politics are thusly skewed. He’s a tool, but the music is good. If you like Rage, you should check out Sepultura.

Participantstockstradr: You realize by posting, you move it right back to the top of “Active Forum Topics” list, right?
Thus, you keep the nag alive.

ParticipantShadowfax: Fine, MOM! I would respond with some additional musical choices, but I don’t want to get any further in trouble.
Gandalf: We missed you, Bubba. It has gotten alarmingly quiet around here, to the extent that Rus and I are keeping busy by comparing notes on music, social norms and pharmacological products (yes, Shadowfax, we’re stopping now).
Re: Casca: I don’t have any issues with what he said. I do have issues with both the approach and the tone. You can disagree quite strongly with someone, but still maintain respect and decorum. If one feels that they are so above everyone else in the discussion that they cannot handle themselves appropriately, then they should leave. This “dear fellow” and “dear boy” nonsense coming from anyone is condescending and rude, and it is an obvious device meant to establish distance and superiority. The same goes for the constant employment of $6 words. Unless this guy is the reincarnation of Bill Buckley, stow it. I have this mental vision of some pontificatory pinhead in a tweed jacket with elbow patches stoking a pipe while he lectures the proles. Sorry, Bub, that s**t don’t fly. I’m well past the point of having to deal with a clown like that, and as a peer no less. Go polish your hakenkreutz (and I’m sure that Casca knows full well what that is).

ParticipantRus: Casca is the enigma.
I like Puccini fine, but the German stuff, especially Wagner, is too martial and ponderous for me. I had to sit through Wagner’s entire “Ring” series with my dad and uncle once, and that did it for me.
“Opera for the Truly Provincial”! I like it. Puts it right on the label, huh?
