    Parker, you give the average viewer of Fox News far too much credit but you only do so when it makes you feel better.
    I'd definitely put the accent on the latter rather than the former. With Parker everything tends to vanish in the gooey solipsistic middle, but that is one of the things that makes him a very typical politics poster.

    There's no hairbrushing in tackle football. Parker'll figure that out quickly enough.

    Or maybe, he'll never figure it out.

    i feel better when the truth sees the light of day. and I'll be the first to admit I need help finding it.

    But in this day and age, we know: cant trust media, cant trust big govt, cant trust big corps, cant trust a military solution, cant trust our intel, cant trust armed security, cant trust the two parties, cant trust executive branch, cant trust congress, cant trust the gov, cant trust wall st, cant trust big money, etc etc

    Everybody has an agenda. and when you start to see the agendas, the truth comes nearer.

    in retrospect, spoken like a true conspiracy theorist. Yet we all admit to these points a hundred times over...

    Over the course of 17 years and 14 albums, Rush has gone from doing unconscious parodies of Led Zeppelin, to calculated ripoffs of the Police.

    Nice work, guys!

    I'd say triumph of high acheivement applies without question.

    Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band. Rush also ranks 79th in U.S. album sales with 25 million units. Although total worldwide album sales are not calculated by any single en y, as of 2004 several industry sources estimated Rush's total worldwide album sales at over 40 million units.

    Don't count me in there.

    Your absolutes discount an awful lot of people of good conscience.

    Naked self-interest does exist, but to think that is *the* only thing that motivates people misses a lot.

    mind the language in my statement. I didnt say "they are all liars." I said "you can't trust them." That doesn't mean they are always lying, or always trying to screw the public.

    Distrust leads to smart action.

    Dude, I like Rush. Power Windows embarrassed me.

    And that particular song is truly cringeworthy, 25 years later. IMHO.

    Are you cringing at the music or the style? Either way, I understand.

    But the instrumental prowess was still there, even when it was translated through 0s and 1s.

    The lyrics were still right on as well.

    Big money got a heavy hand
    Big money take control
    Big money got a mean streak
    Big money got no soul...

    Healthy skepticism is one thing, but there is a line between "trust but verify" and "they have to be assumed to be up to no good".

    Time is up. Got a meeting to get to, and a project update to finish.
