You guys? What guys? You jump in with this after one guy said his voice was raspy and another told a joke? You jumped this pretty quick. Any comments that follow your post about "You Guys" is a reaction to the soup you stirred. No, there were two. That made it guys Hmm, recalibrating... Oops, point taken, comment withdrawn. I was the gun jumper. Sorry. |

On what grounds do you guys simply dismiss the RFKjr speech with mockery and derision? What did he say that you know is false? Are you making the case that because his voice is raspy he's lying? It is positively damning. You guys? What guys? You jump in with this after one guy said his voice was raspy and another told a joke? You jumped this pretty quick. Any comments that follow your post about "You Guys" is a reaction to the soup you stirred. |

In Jack London's story, Buck was a St. Bernard living happily with his family in California when he was Dognapped by dog thieves hoping to cash in on the shortage of sled dogs up in Alaska during the crazy ass gold rush in the Klondike. Buck has to survive dog fights, rotten owners, and mean Malamutes to survive. Which he does. Eventually, Buck finally finds a good owner and becomes a trusted sled dog, until his good owner is killed. After chewing up the bad guys real good, Buck runs off into the Wild with a pretty she-wolf he had met earlier and becomes the leader of a wolf pack, hence the title London gave his book, "The Leader of the Pack!".
(Call of the Wild)

There are always those who stigmatize. Hee Haw appealed to a culture so comfortable with itself it enjoyed lampooning the stigmas of others by playing freely with their, um, stigmatizing.
I spent most of my bachelor life on the farm, and I had the confidence and the comfort with myself and who and what I was, that come Saturday night, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Hee Haw, and then, dressing up as a woman and heading into town. No stigmas attached or concerned with. Stigmas are for stigmatizers.

"Sent $50 Kamala's way this morning. She emailed me back. I am now on the TEAM!" I followed your example. She hasn't emailed me, though. Maybe she's tied up at a rally or something. Not a fan of out of state money... but as long as the card was out, I sent $50 to that guy running against Kari Lake, as well. Just because. |

True, but there is a huge cultural difference, and country most definitely carries with it the stigma of low IQ. While Pop stars are the ginchiest. That depends on who you ask. Country is wholesome and upright while Pop carries the stigma of drug addled and body odor. To quote a great country song, "You're looking for love in all the wrong places." |

... According to my limited research, decaf has the benefits of regular coffee, that is a large dose of antioxidants, without the negative effects of caffeine. Well, that depends on how you feel about the copious amounts of cow urine they use in making that stuff. Much does remain in the final product. (if you notice your nipples swelling and some breast enlargement, get off the stuff immediately. Well, unless you like the look. Nothing wrong with it.) |

Oh, 2. There is indeed much intolerance to be found among the Righteous. And great Righteousness is found in both the Left and the Right, on Campus and Church, in Art and Critic... but not in the farm fields and small town bars of this Great Nation! Seek wisdom there.

There is a lot of ground being covered here. As I am limited, I will limit myself to two sincere, non-teasing, comments:
1. I do not believe there is more "art" to be found in Pop music than in Country music. Same amount of art in both. And Musical Theater blows both Pop and Country out of the water ten times ten over in terms of both art and creativity. Bock and Harnick, Frank Loesser, Webber and Rice, Lerner and Loewe... There is a Fab Four! Or seven depending on how you reckon this stuff.
2. I just forgot what 2 was.

The Beef? Kamala was fresh, vibrant, funny, animated, charming, and smart... while Trump comes across as a stale, musty, mummy caked with orange preservatives (for the same reason a tree comes across as a tree).
Kamala is a threat they are unable to deal with as she keeps blowing every crafted aspersion they would paint her with out of the water. So, the hapless spin machine is flummoxed and reacting the only way it can, by spinning all the more wildly and desperately.

I just did a little run through in my head. Farmers are a diverse bunch politically and culturally , we don't need no stinking quotas. We're fine. Don't mess with us.
