    What did your grandparents pack for personal protection in the Golden Era?

    Good point Feng. Some of the most ardent advocates for personal ownership are more recent immigrants from places with far tighter controls. They know the reality of living under such tyranny. One of the better spokesmen for US gunowners is Oleg Volk, a young artist who grew up in the...

    Jane Monheit--New CD (sort of)

    So, since she does fine on the ballads and standards, as far as the album's problem goes, we can "Blame it on the Bossa Nova"? :D

    The one style appreciation that dare not speak its name...

    Sefton, That's a good question. I think one thing we can look at is how Western art evolved. Rome quite liberally stole from Greek art and philosophy as did everyone they came in contact with. Even after Rome fell, the barbarians who remained became Romanized, keeping many of the...

    "Most people come from the creator equipped with 2 hands. One to reach out to the fallen, the other to hold the club should he come up with a knife."

    Favorite Contemporary Singers Singing Classics.

    Spitfire's right. I'd add k.d. Lang's "Drag"*. *Warning, this album has been rated "R" by the Motion Picture Association of America for "Glamorized Smoking".

    The loss of occasion

    When they are hosting the event, they can dictate the dress code. Barring that, respect states one wear the traditional, "respectful" dress. If they don't want to set aside their convenience for other people, maybe they should just stay home. It isn't all about me all the time. Not when...

    The loss of occasion

    Pictures of breadlines. The jackets and hats were battered, but they were there. You are right though, there's a big difference between the very few people in this countrywho are homeless or near homeless due to no fault of their own and folks who just don't meet some arbitrary government...

    A Lot o' Mottos: What are your words to live by?

    Demonstrating self-assurance doesn't take wearing a "war face". Anyway, predators can read false signals, it's their livelihood. From interviews with criminals on how they choose their victims, making yourself an unattractive potential target can be as simple as walking erect, shoulders...

    A Lot o' Mottos: What are your words to live by?

    Weakness and strength don't necessarily have to be "against" or "towards" others. They just have to recognizably "be". If you are visibly strong, self-confidence / self-assurance is as big or bigger a factor than size, it deters those whose nature is to prey on the weak. You don't actually...

    The loss of occasion

    Care to look at the actual dollar amount that defines poverty in this country is? In 1997 by your link it was $15K. Care to price a suit or slacks/jacket or dress is at Goodwill in comparison? It's about $20 as of last week. Heck, care to look at what proportion of income that defines...
