  1. The Arcade Fire ~ The Well and the Lighthouse definitely one of my friend Stephen's best suggestions for a band since the Sea and Cake

    Well, signing Campbell is definitely what the 'Hawks were looking for, plus not having to give up players and prospects to get him makes the deal all the more sweet. Likely he'll be paired with Seabrook, not too shabby. If Barker can atleast play his way on the third line we should be solid on the blue line for once in a great while. I dunno, I guess signing Huet is sort of the writing on the 'Bulin wall. Now if we could only get rid of our flaky czechs
  3. Propagandhi ~ ...And We Thought That Nation States Were A Bad Idea "Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!" That's the anthem of the upper-tier (the puppeteer untouchable). We focus a moment, nod in approval and bury our head back in the bar-codes of these neo-colonials while our former nemesis (ah, the romance!): the nation-state, now plays fund-raiser for a new brand of power-concentrate. Try again, but now we're confused- what is "class-war"? Is this class war? Yes, this is class war. ah, lyrics that actually mean stuff and simultaneously rawk out with their **** out, its bona fide
  4. David Bowie ~ Rebel, Rebel
  5. This kind of got lost in the wake of its 2nd Amendment ruling. $15,000 for having your life ruined seems a little light. Funny that Roberts and the liberal judges wanted to either defer to congress or let the lower court's decision stand. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jun/26/nation/na-valdez26
  6. Okkervil River ~ Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe A little bit heavy on whine, but catchy as crap
  7. Oh, I was just kidding, I've fully accepted that Bush won the election fairly as far as the Electoral College goes I mean if Gore could have at least carried his home state it would have been a non-issue
  8. Except when overruling a state court to make a conservative president or something....
  9. well due process is seen more as a right where as gun ownership seems more like a privilege plus it falls to how american soldiers will be treated in the future
  10. nah, not with a 5-4 decision, I didn't read the dissenting opinion but I can imagine what it says.
  11. Arcade Fire ~ Keep the Car Running now this song is bad ass
  12. The Arcade Fire ~ Black Mirror tis not too bad
  13. It wouldn't work, we have to pretend people aren't really specialized primates and they don't need to be protected from themselves, its like a law or something. I dunno, I see where things take a jump in logic most probably aren't willing to make. We make people take on extra responsibilities to drive a car or own a handgun or in a lot of states to get married, I think we could do something similar, take on a bit more responsibility and such and such
  14. Darius Dar ~ Limp Wristed Black Lighted Bowel Movement (Wish You Were Here)
  15. Read a bunch of Dostoevsky and Harold Pinter so I could write up a few test from them. I'm not sure which one of those task had me the most depressed. Luckily someone showed up and pulled me out of it.
  16. Being the son of an ex-marine recon vietnam vet/Game Warden, there really isn't too many guns I haven't fired, from standard issue military and law enforcement stock to target/range rifles and handguns. My father was certified expert marksman in the corp. and still to this day qualifies Game Warden. I have a beretta 9mm I use when I shoot left handed and .40 that I use righty
  17. Gorgon was just taking his position, just about anything American = Badness
  18. The Whitest Boy Alive ~ Golden Cage
  19. Modest Mouse ~ Novocain Stain
  20. alright, someone else? anybody?
  21. F.Y.P. ~ Secret Track I should've cursed this world they put between us. Because when I was nine you were a fetus.
  22. Once again a gun and a pair of shoes obviously aren't the same thing and the fact that our government, when chartered, put specific wording in its Bill of Right pertaining to guns shows that they saw a pretty big difference. If you leave your car parked out in front of you house or a pair of shoes on your front porch and they're used in a crime theres no culpability, but if you leave your gun lying around then you'd be lucky if you just lost your shirt in civil litigation. The point of fining companies isn't to abstract large amounts of money from them, its to make them highly motivated to take an active hand in what happens to their products when they hit the market. That way when law enforcement is like, We've got a Taurus .45 used in a car jacking, they can go to the Taurus and find out how the gun ended up where it did. If the gun company can show that someone else broke the law in the criminal's acquisition of the gun (very likely) then the company wouldn't be subject to fine. This is a pretty tangible responsibility if you're selling a product that allows someone to kill 12-15 people with something that fits into a jacket pocket. Plus doing this way puts up a wall between the information of who has guns and state and federal governments forcing them to show that a crime has been committed before accessing the information.
