Well, that’s one advantage to coming here first. Sometimes the original article isn’t worth the time. :-)

IMO there is no definitive mainstream any more. Hasn’t been for a decade. There’s just too much music out there for you to know all the “popular” stuff.

It was always a pipe dream, my friend. If you stop smoking, you might see reality… In other words, your only mistake was sobriety.

Look, if we’re serious about having transparency and accountability in law enforcement, it’s going to take a lot of work. The starting point would be to require these officers to have their names in large text on the front and back of their shirts, like professional athletes do. They need to be named openly all the time, not just when they’re arresting someone, not just in tiny text on a badge that you can’t even see when you’re 6 ft away.

And most importantly, they need to be locked up or massively fined when they violate their own policy or people’s civil rights. When cops are not accountable for their actions, of course they’re going to behave like rat bastards.

Some men you just can’t reach.

So … Pay the Americans more. That is why they are leaving, my farming friends. It really is that simple.

And maybe that’s okay, isn’t it?
