I was once a folk singer (I made two LP's) but never had
that kind of dedication. I know Les Voix Bulgares(?) but hearing them and trying to follow the lines
made me think of the difference between chamber music and orchestral. Clearer. I wish them a record
contract and an appropriate reward for their artistry. Incidentally do I know your relative, Richard Saul Wurman?

Not the custom here. Nor the way our president is elected. Although the 19th century saw occasional fisticuffs and even weapons in Congress, even then, they were directed to other congressmen or senators - not the President. (There was, of course, VP Cheney's unfortunate linguistic slip.....)

He can comment all he likes on how odd he finds it that Americans were shocked to hear the president called a liar in Congress - but he should first provide his listeners with the appropriate context to understand why.

By the way, when do you stop calling Palestinian refugees, "refugees"? After 60 years? By this definition 1/2 of Israel would be considered refugees as the Jews expelled from Arab lands and their offspring make up this proportion of the the population. In the rest of the world, refugees are the first generation. Their offspring are not! Please note also that the Palestinians have received over $50 billions from the UN, the US, Europe and some Arab countries and yet they are still considered refugees?? By contrast, the Jewish refugees from Arab lands and Iran got nothing from the UN, not even a resolution condemning this crime against humanity.

There would not have been a refugee problem---Jewish or palestinian--had the Palestinians and Arab countries accepted the UN Partition Plan in 1947 of one Palestinian state alongside one Jewish state. Instead, the Palestinians and 5 Arab countries attacked the new Jewish state to "Throw the Jews into the sea". Even today the Palestinians teach their children to hate the jews and israelis instead of teaching them tolerance, understanding and respect for other religions.
Palestinians could have become a prosperous, independent, successful country with their own capital as Jerusalem if only they accepted the 1947 two state solution.

The only value that the May 8th podcast of Planet Money, featuring Elizabeth Warren, has is to illuminate for the listeners the character and ethics of Mr. Davidson.

I can't trust him, because he distorted the truth in the past. He created a slanderous piece against Elizabeth Warren. He exhibited some characterological problems that I found troubling...whether it is his ego or gender bias or something worse at play I don't know. His complete lack of humility and contrition (in spite of the fact that the show generated around 1,000 postings on the NPR website) makes me believe that he would do it again if he was given the opportunity.

This American Life has done a great job in helping us to understand our current economic trials, but, unfortunately, I'll never be able to trust any broadcast in which Adam Davidson is a contributor. I hope that This American Life will minimize the contributions of Mr. Davidson in their broadcasts. I'd hate to walk away from This American Life too.

I look forward to This American Life each week, but I've been dreading the June 6th program. I'm not certain whether Mr. Davidson will be a part of it, but it will ruin the experience if he is. Also, I won't be able to trust any of the information provided in it, if he is a contributor, since I've heard him intentionally distort facts in the past.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2600393 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2600393 GMT "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

Ranger was a six-week old German Shepherd puppy when a friend gave him to us, but he was a member of the family until he died at 12 years of age.

Among the funny things he did was watch my son and I wash the sea-water off our diving gear on the driveway after we returned. One time, I mischievously put the buoyancy compensator around his neck and a pair of goggles and snorkel on his forehead, and took his picture. He sat patiently, but he had a real hang-dog expression on his face.

Another time, during the Jewish holiday of Passover when we open the front door to let the mythical prophet Elijah enter, in walks Ranger, who had been lying quietly at the front door. He had a very quizzical expression on his face, wondering why we were all sitting at the Seder table laughing at him.

There are many other funny stories about Ranger I could recount. Suffice to say that despite hip dysplasia he liked me to take him on a walk every evening after dinner, and he did so the night before he died. ]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2581757 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2581757 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2578884 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2578884 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2576043 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2576043 GMT http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2575416 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/pri/posts/list/817210.page#2575416 GMT

I wished to start a conversation with Mr. Edwards about the many examples of so-called "silly" spending/earmarks mentioned in responses to the proposed bailout and FY09 Omnibus bills. Many of the examples given pertained to environmental or natural resource issues that are real and important - but easily made to sound silly. Since Mr. Edwards is not as tied to the short-term news cycle as some others; and since Mr. Edwards is a well-educated and informed person who likes to explore lesser-known topics, I thought he might want to work with me and colleagues on exploring why funding for honey bee research, for example, is a wise expenditure of public funds that will benefit all Americans who eat.

Being that our people are traditionalists, basically just doing what others did before and being that the intellectuals tend to stay above the masses but still unable to penetrate beyond their musings into the area of Transcendence, I suggest very highly that you interview someone who is beyond the worldly spell of ignorance and steeped in God-consciousness.
Such persons of course would be hard for you to find since being conditioned by material laws you have no way to fathom someone above the actions and reactions of the world.
