    Where's all this intolerance coming from??

    I think it can be summed up as people like to be around others with the same hobbies, passtimes, ideologies, etc. While that's great when it happens in a positive way, like FL, for example. When it comes to people with bad ideas on any side of the political spectrum or at any point in between...

    You know you are getting old when:

    When you find out the flashing lights and floaters that suddenly appeared in your eye meant you might have to have immediate eye surgery for retinal detachment. Getting older sucks.

    Public information films/Public service announcements

    Agony column?

    The Shortwave Radio Thread.

    There's been a whole slew of interesting stations between 5300-7300 kc lately. Pretty sure Radio Cassablanca made a comeback on 6940 but didn't catch the station ID to be sure. There's also Radio Free East Coast (confirmed) at 6935 which seems to have made a resurgence. It's rare to catch BBC...

    Today in History

    Of course, on this day in 1944, the beginning of the end of Hitler's occupation of Europe took place on the beaches of Normandy, in Northern France. However, also on this day... in 1930, frozen food was sold commercially for the first time; and in 1966 on this day, the shooting of James...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Makes a lot of sense. I remember speaking to WW2 vets for a project on D-Day 50th, and the gentleman from Queens had a totally different accent than the gentleman from Brooklyn, even though in modern terms, both would have been seen as New Yorkers.
