I am longing for the rational, the creative, the imaginative, and the loving. Can’t find it in the news right now, but I can always find it in music.
Here is Sheryl Crow, singing “Love Is Free” with The Malloys:

Thank god for music.

Yes, and thank god for more than one copy of the same video. It works now.

There is no god.
D. E.Rodriguez
And thank God for F.T.

It's a figure of speech FT. In any case, neither of us knows whether there is a god or not - nor does anyone else here (whether they can be honest with themselves about it or not). There's a reason why they call it faith. This isn't to say there aren't many godlike attributes humans are capable of employing (when they decide to step up to the plate), or that we aren't capable of experiencing love, wonder and amazement that can knock us off our feet, and it certainly doesn't mean we don't exist in a godlike creation, i.e. this planet, and the universe, etc. - an environment that contains all the realtime heaven and hell anyone could ask for - especially when you factor in the human imagination. Anyway, as I said, thank god for music. ;-)
D. E.Rodriguez
I honestly believe that there is a heart of gold beneath FT's grouchy demeanor, and that he is just auditioning for a role in this Christmas' Bah Humbug play.

F_T,
Relax. Chill out, man. Let go of all that tension. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the music, F_T. This is such a great song. Can't you just enjoy it?

You are absolutely incorrect.
Father_Time
You are absolutely correct.
Father_Time
You are wacked.
kathykattenburg
1. Yes, you are.
2. I'd rather be wacked than be you.
3. It's not as if you don't know that condition.
D. E.Rodriguez
"You are absolutely correct."
Wow! What a breakthrough, we agree on something.
(However, post coming in the next few days, when our harmony, I believe, will cease :) Stay tuned)
Father_Time
Oh surly not.
You just need a nuugee!
Father_Time
Uh...well....you think maybe I'm trying just a bit to hard at disagreeing?
I.....uh....thought that was the point here...*...??
Why would there be a political blog if everybody agreed politically?
I'm sorry Mr. Rodriguez, I seem to have made a terrible mistake. Revelation just in time too, as I was about to sell out a buy a house next to Kathy....
....but knowledge that arguing is not the endearment I had expected.....well....its over.

You just need a nuugee!
Maybe, but not from you.
Watch this space. The next musical blog post is dedicated to you.
Father_Time
Oh Kathy thats very kind of you, but I'm not into modern music. I'm sort of a Shubert, Motzart, Joseph Haydn kind of guy. Quite a bit more practical really.....have a you tube on me.......
