Have Audiophiles lost their CIVILTY!

Yes spectacle like taking a chainsaw to the US government that people depend on. Who likes that really? Besides Vladimir Putin and now apparently Elon Musk? Our President?

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”

“They won't listen. Do you know why? Because they have certain fixed notions about the past. Any change would be blasphemy in their eyes, even if it were the truth. They don't want the truth; they want their traditions.”

“There is no belief, however foolish, that will not gather its faithful adherents who will defend it to the death.”

― Isaac Asimov

I'm just here for the pie..

Honestly I'm here because no one in my personal face to face life is like me, a music and hifi junkie. Years ago I gave up trying to talk to my peeps about music and hifi, the usual response was eyes glazing over and a quick subject change. Here I get to hang out with folks who share my passion (or sickness).

I'm not interested in feeding energy vampires. A healthy back and forth is one thing, getting into a derogatory exchange over who's is bigger is another. I have a choice in what I'm going to invest in. ten out of ten times, I'm going to pass on the latter. 

Life is too short. I'm in my second title fight with cancer and it's taught me for sure what's important and what is not. I'm choosing fun and joy. I'm choosing to be polite and respectful, it costs nothing. Walking away from a conversation that has turned vile, and literally means nothing in the bigger picture is just so damn easy.

I love you guys

Great posts, and sadly all too true for where we are in this country right now.
