A tribute to the legendary Terence McKenna who passed 10 years ago this April 3, 2010.
This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wide ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of a unusual characters---including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter---and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.

I recently found some very good and thought provoking videos about the fleecing of America. They really got me thinking, so here is my two cents worth: How can giving more money to the greedy foxes guarding the hen house be good for this country? Seems to me this is the problem, not the solution.....sure to the foxes getting the money, it's the solution, but to the poor hens getting "screwed", it's the problem! The scales of fairness are so tipped, it's sickening....Why is someone who runs a company, and takes most of the profits, considered an important person? They are just fat, glorified criminals in my eyes....shielded by money and power...they get so comfortable taking and taking, they can sit around joking and laughing at fancy parties, all caught up in their cushy lifestyles to even see the long term damage that is being done....then their companies go under, and they cry for more hard working American tax dollars, so they can keep their over-inflated lifestyles!.....hypocrisy at it's finest!... No sense pointing fingers..better sense firing all the greedy louts(in business as well as government) and starting over, giving better cost of living allowances, and health care, retirement, etc.....to the hard working folks working their asses off....tipping the scales of fairness to a more level playing field...that is the only way to long term growth! This is just my opinion, of course....... :)
These are the videos i found on the subject.....
Your Natural, God-given RIGHTS - Judge Napolitano tells it like it is AGAIN:
Napolitano is unrelenting with his valiant championing of our NATURAL, God-given RIGHTS as they are enumerated (listed/described) within the U.S. Constitution. In just a few minutes he illustrates the difference between items that are innate rights based on your property (your physical body) and items that are goods/commodities, vis-à-vis HEALTHCARE.

Many Roots musicians do not consider themselves to be folk musicians; the main difference between the American folk music revival and American "Roots music" is that Roots music seems to cover a slightly broader range, including blues and country.Roots musical forms reached their most expressive and varied forms in the first two to three decades of the 20th century. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl were extremely important in disseminating these musical styles to the rest of the country, as Delta blues masters, itinerant honky tonk singers and Latino and Cajun musicians spread to cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. The growth of the recording industry in the same approximate period was also important; increased possible profits from music placed pressure on artists, songwriters and label executives to replicate previous hit songs. This meant that fads like Hawaiian slack-key guitar never died out completely as rhythms or instruments or vocal stylings were incorporated into disparate genres. By the 1950s, all the forms of roots music had led to pop-oriented forms. Folk musicians like the Kingston Trio, pop-Tejano and Cuban-American fusions like boogaloo, chachacha and mambo, blues-derived rock and roll and rockabilly, pop-gospel, doo wop and R&B (later secularized further as soul music) and the Nashville sound in country music all modernized and expanded the musical palette of the country.The roots approach to music emphasizes the diversity of American musical traditions, the genealogy of creative lineages and communities, and the innovative contributions of musicians working in these traditions today. In recent years roots music has been the focus of popular media programs such as Garrison Keillor's public radio program A Prairie Home Companion and the feature film by the same name.

Roots of Blues -- The Mississippi Sheiks:
The Mississippi Sheiks were a popular and influential guitar and fiddle group of the 1930s. They were notable mostly for playing country blues but were adept at many styles of United States popular music of the time, and their records were bought by both black and white audiences. Country blues is often seen as being the domain of individual musicians, a stereotype propagated by the way such delta blues performers as Robert Johnson and Charley Patton have entered the popular consciousness. Of the smaller number of groups playing at the time, the Mississippi Sheiks are among the better known and most influential among their peers.
