    “Democrats are the first to believe elite opinion and editorial-page opinion represent America, and they don’t,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
    and republicans are first to believe any opinion as long as it has no basis in fact.

    “The 49 Senators who voted ‘No’ on Kavanaugh represent 181.8 million Americans,” he continued. “The 51 Senators who voted ‘Yes’ represent 143.2 million.”

    Which, of course, is an opinion.

    I saw the Missoula tour poster depicting the white house on fire & the vultures pecking some dead people out in front of the White House. My 10 Club membership is up at the end of December.  I will not be  renewing.  You can all raise a glass to that.
    I'M DONE WITH PJ.  PJ should take some lessons from Dead & Co.  I saw them two nights in a row this last summer phenomenal shows.  Good old fashion fun and camaraderie.  Everybody left their politics at home.  I'm sure they are liberal as hell but they do not flaunt it or preach it during their shows, Bob Weir and dead and Company have tremendous class. They play great music everybody puts politics aside and leaves there troubles behind and enjoys the show together. 
    Eddie can't go 3 songs anymore without stopping to preach his politics to us expecting all his fans to be nodding in agreeance like a bunch of bobbleheads.  No thanks.  No way can I continue. No way. 
    I have loved Pearl Jam for 25+ years as of lately they have lost me. I will always love their music but I can no longer support them.
    And so you won't be hearing from me anymore and you guys can light your own cigars and raise a toast to that.  Unemployment is at its lowest in the last 50 years.  I have to watch this rally now in Topeka Kansas
    Good bye, and so long.
    Wait a minute
    PJ are a liberal band that supports Democrat politics, candidates, and beliefs?
    Supports women?
    Supports a womans right to choose?
    Believes in stronger gun laws?
    Supports some socialist  type ideals?

    Wish someone  had told me this 27 years ago when I became a fan and a couple of years later when I joined the 10club.

    Sheeeesh

    Their politics aren't new and the way they speak out and actually ACT to support change is not new either. So, I don't understand your rationale over being done with them because of a concert poster. If that is the standard that you're setting for yourself, you may want to boycott movies & tv shows by your favorite actors/directors/writers, stop buying products whose owners may also support change, stop being friends with those that have different political beliefs, and so on and so on. It's a never-ending boycott.

    I don't agree with a lot of my friends. I don't agree with the politics of some bands I love. I don't always like the opinions of actors/directors/writers whose work I enjoy. That being said, they have the right to their opinion. If we disagree, we disagree.

    I like the fact that we have differing opinions here and in our daily lives. It's a constant to find a balance that is beneficial for all, and one that we probably will not see in our lifetime. Sure, sometimes those opinions irritate me to no end. That's when I know I need to take a step back and focus on my life and make sure that I am doing my best to treat everyone with the respect that they deserve, whether I agree with them or not.

    I personally like the poster. But, that's my opinion. Best of luck to you.

    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Probably right.

    Higher level thinking is not typically associated with mainstream America. I would think it is more accurate to suggest Pud comic strips and National Enquirer more represent America.

    But Kavanaugh swore he wouldn't overturn RvW. He wouldn't lie to Susan Collins. Such an exceptional person!?

    People who do not have wombs sound creepy speaking about them. Obsessed with something they don't have. 

    The comeback is sadly spot on.

    When I'm at work, I try very hard to not talk politics.  It's a bookstore.  I don't want somebody walking out and saying, "Well I'm not going there again, that place sucks."  The more people read, the more they have a chance of learning some things.

    So today, I really had to bite my tongue.  A customer came in asking if we still carried automotive manuals.  I noticed right off his hat with a patch on it that read, "Don't step on my freedom". 

    "Hmmm", I thought, "Better stay on the subject of automobiles." 

    While we were talking, another customer came up to pay for his books, looked at the dude with the MAGA inspired hat patch and said,  "I really like your hat.  Yesterday was a great day in America." 

    "You bet it was," the dude with the hat replied.  I sat there biting my tongue, imagining blood running down my face and shirt from biting so hard, but I kept my cool.

    But now I'm home and can speak my mind freely so, excuse me, but I really need to say what I wanted to say to those two dudes;

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!!!
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    There are laws. The murdering babies anarchy myths are bullshit right wing talking points that Fox News viewers eat up. For example:

    "Illinois law prohibits abortions once a fetus is considered viable (which is around 23-24 weeks gestation), except in cases of risks to the life or health of the pregnant person."

    Reminds me of a bookstore in my town that recently closed.  It had been focused on kids for years, probably wasn't doing the greatest...maybe breakeven if lucky.  It went up for sale and someone else bought it.  They kept most of the kid theme but added a lot of adult books....unfortunately they were mostly right wing books from Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.  Not a good way to greet your new clientele when most of the people coming to the bookstore lived in the downtown area and were more than likely left leaning.

    I think they lasted about a year....probably long enough to wait out their lease, then they closed.  It's an antique store now.
