  1. This is the first time I have been back after my suspension. I have 11 notifications over there. I'm not going to look at them. 

    I have Scrapper Blackwell playing in the background. 

    Nobody wants you when you're down and out 

    That's not a statement about where I am. It's just happened to be what was next on the list. Somehow I guess it fits the thread. 

    We've been struggling with the blues in every generation. We had various means of dealing with it, but they have been ever present since the dawn of time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is sometimes found in the strings and strains of music 

    Now here's Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs and his boys at Doc's place. All sitting around picking for the camera and unrehearsed. Earl is in a suit and tie. Doc put on a coat, because I am sure she made him. It's the early seventies or late 60s and the gray has only begun to caress their temples 

    One of his sons will die at his own hand. Tears and heartache await. Though they know it not. This is the way it is.

    If I hadn't gotten notifications from this pit of sin that things were happening in this thread I might not have returned now. I felt compelled to say to those lurking and to those commenting and to any that may stumble into this collection of misfit souls.

    Stay the course. Do the next right thing you know to do. And if not that, wait, be patient and persist.

    Lao Tzu was riding off on his mighty steed, the jackass that carried his old ass where he wanted to go into the wilderness because it was time.

    The soldier stopped him. Before you go and depart. You must tell us what you know. Write it down.

    Well, that's so far back in the mists of time it's hardly worth mentioning it's a legend. But, we have these strips of bamboo. This record left by some old as the hills person.

    I'm not saying anything new. I'm telling you the same stuff someone else said God knows how many years ago.

    It still applies. So I keep saying it.

    Y'all have fun. Take care of each other.

    This thread is for developing stories and information related to the event. 

    At this point it's the reactions to the event that are the story. We ain't gonna know shit about the search until something happens. This fucker might go Eric Rudolph and hide out for years. The only reason the Unabomber got caught was the fact his brother recognized his writing in the manifesto. The one sure thing we know is that there are going to be opinions and they are going to be loud.

    You can police the thread and squelch the discussion here, but it's not going to make it go away.

    My thoughts are it’s a shame Kirk didn’t live through the shooting. It would have been better if he had lived long enough for his George Wallace transformation.

    Have you ever listened to the Drive By Truckers sing about Wallace?

  4. Get a permit. Hire security. Cover all the bases and you can be Illinois Nazis and block the road. Might get some protests but it's legal. The Mormons had to fight it out in court to build a tall spired temple in Fairview, but it's going to be built. If the very fine people in Charlottesville can have a hate parade they can have one for Ganesha up in DFW.
