I saw the whole season, Zita... Yeah, the last episode was a gut check wasn't it? Can't wait for the next season.. ) We really like Boardwalk Empire on HBO, too.

mannie - altie ... i don't know how much you've seen of the third season ..... but the two hour episode i just watched was shocking!!! i can't believe who just died. i don't want to give it away in case you haven't seen it yet. i think it would be great fun to get together in costume and each play a downton abbey...

[Mannie] Love it.. One of the few shows I really look forward to seeing.

I think it is mankind's manifest destiny to evolve. I think that is how the universe works I think consciousness is a third system in the universe, after inorganic and organic. Just as organic evolves out of inorganic, so consciousness evolves out of biology. And one thing I find very interesting is that where kil...

master koan- it's hard for me to relate to such a narrow focus on life. one reason is because i spend the winters in guatemala where US politics is very close to irrelevant (for me). the other reason is because i spend a lot of time observing other milieus like the animal and plant kingdoms and also the galactic bit...

The wingers are just riding an illusion, like a leaf down a stream. The libs are to, but they examine that ride a bit more and in the context of self actualization, compassion and planet responsibility. The country has been run by the wingers for half a century and is the reason we keep getting swept into the rocks....

Percentage of women who feel it is their personal responsibility to help the worse off: That is why we have something called direct charity. Wanting to help someone does not require a government mandate to enforce your wishes.

We'll have to buy them from scalpers for prolly $2500+. If the Niners go, maybe 1/4 of the season ticket holders will get chosen. I had tickets in '84, and we ended up partying about 2 miles from Stanfurd Stadium, where the game was, which was also where we partied in '82 and '83 and '85. I think each team gets 1/4 of...

Well, I was stoned when I watched it, so who knows.? A telephone book is interesting when you are stoned-lol. I thought it addressed some sophisticated ideas.
