    Everybody has an agenda these days. If that's true, then what you watch is kinda like picking the agenda you subscribe to, right ?

    Most of MSM pushes a socialist agenda, Fox doesn't. Which is why they remain tops in all cable news.

    "My uncle worked for NOA over 20 years as a climatologist. Anybody ask he gives a simple answer "the climate has always changed and it always will". Then he will go on a pollution rant."

    Exactly what I said back a bit.

    Most of us will agree, real journalism is all but gone. Why ? It's become too politicized, too partisan, mostly opinion with little to no facts. Instead of being a tool for information, they've become a tool to control peoples thoughts.....and it works very well.

    Same can be said for out education system, they tell kids WHAT to think instead of HOW to think. Like the MSM, they've become a tool to control, rather than educate.

    We are drifting away from the fires though, but as you can see, solving problems has become a convoluted mess, of which in the end little gets done or band aid solutions. We've lost the ability to simply identify a problem and fix it using common sense.

    That has more potential to do damage than the fires itself.

    It's all fun and games until you've been up for 3 days without eating, everything's a fast paced blur, you're out of money, and you're starting to feel sick with a cold sweat.

    When eating isn’t the only thing you can’t break away for - don’t laugh, some hardcore gamers go this far...

    ^^^^^^ Nothing like taking something to the extreme level and I'm sure there are people out there that think the same about some of us with our audio hobby. Case in point with an incredulous look on someone's face "you spent how much on those cables???" :D

    It's either this or he's in a whole bunch O' trouble....

    Seriously, he and I disagree on everything....and I do mean EVERYTHING besides music but he's still our "Bud". I'd just like to know that he's okay... along with any family he may have out there.
