You make some very good points. I suspect that politicians using "common sense" is the last step before resorting to "name-calling". As in you are a "insert your favorite pejorative name here." Who could disagree with a common sense point unless they were a "insert your favorite pejorative name here."

Bobby Tony's idea of Labor Day (plagiarized from 1963 John Wayne McLintock)back when life was simpler I guess.

Devlin Warren: Just one minute, Mr. McLintock. My father died last month, that's how come we don't have a homestead. I've got a mother, a little sister to feed. I need that job badly.
George Washington McLintock: What's your name?
Devlin Warren: Devlin Warren.
George Washington McLintock: Well, you've got a job. Go see my home ranch forman. He's over by the corral.
Devlin Warren: Step down off that carriage, mister!
George Washington McLintock: [Swings and McLintock and gets thrown to the ground] Hold that hog leg! I've been punched many a time in my life but never for hirin' anyone.
Devlin Warren: I don't know what to say. Never begged before. Turned my stomach. I suppose I should have been grateful that you gave me the job.
George Washington McLintock: Gave? Boy, you've got it all wrong. I don't give jobs I hire men.
Drago: You intend to give this man a full day's work, don'tcha boy?
Devlin Warren: You mean you're still hirin' me? Well, yes, sir, I certainly deliver a fair day's work.
George Washington McLintock: And for that I'll pay you a fair day's wage. You won't give me anything and I won't give you anything. We both hold up our heads. Is that your plug?
Devlin Warren: Yes sir.
George Washington McLintock: Well, hop on him and we'll go get your gear.

How do you know the ? In the blue shirt is not a guy. Careful now, you may be stereotyping. I think there is an article on BCN about that or snakes, I forget.

How can you legitimately determine diversity when everyone can self-identify as xxxx. I call BS on this because it does not cover the mixed_idenity crowd which I think includes almost everyone.

Do they use a DNA test to verify diversity?

Now, I could be wrong but I think to properly play this song you need a certain special ingredient. Look at the lead singer. This is a classic studio song that is hard to lip sync and sing along.
Hey man, dig this.

I'm just wondering. Did anybody really get through the whole four minutes of that video? Now, that is fluff, i don't care what you say.

Okay I'll admit it. I actually had to research Soylent Green. I don't think I've ever seen the movie all the way through.

Even though the movie was 1973 I should've got a clue when one of the characters actually lived in the building call Chelsea Towers West. Its a small world after all.

The manufacturers of Soylent claim that there is no people in it, but you know how those darn Capitalist lie. They also have dropped the green which makes me wonder more

Now here is how to merge both style and substance. As you know, I'm am slightly to the right on matters of importance.

Believe it or not, I am trying hard in not turning BCN into my personal Hard Drive away from home. I am waiting for the private message telling me I am almost out of Gigabytes and need to buy more storage space.

I tried to cover that in item six but that "writer" part stuck in my throat. Readership numbers would indicate that it is not a proper description.

I do remember that movie. Steve was a real social misfit who often played the anti hero, a role that matched his character. He was a anti-authority rebel in real life as well as movie rolls. Of course my favorite McQeeen movie was Bullitt mainly due to the car chase.

Thanks Sabe,
Video 1 gives one room for hope.
Video two requires some thought and reasoning. The alternative to Alinsky thinking.
Video 3 makes me wonder why we are paying tuition for out kids to be indoctrinated in something that used to be common courtesy. i.e. Bias Incident Response, give me a break.
I am in hopes that many will take the time to watch all three but in particular number 2.

I will follow Clint's advice about knowing your limitations. I am aware that my BT persona projects a "greater than thou" façade which does more to alienate than build consensus. I am afraid that both the BT Persona and the real TA piss off all the people including the right and all the others.
