about elcid89
With all of the complaining that goes on here (some of you honestly seem incapable of doing anything else BUT complaining ...), GoLo has become depressing.
With the general trend towards the banal and inane, GoLo has become a waste of my time.
What is it about this place, which has so much promise of bringing people together to discuss ideas and learn from one another, that it brings out the worst in people instead?
You'll forgive me if I take my leave of it.

It means you can choose to vote in either primary, but only one or the other.".....I may be wrong, but years ago when I was more active in local politic machinery, the Republican primary was open to Independentsas well as registered Republicans, but the Democrat primary was registered Democrats only. Now, I don't now if this was county policy or if it is a state mandate. Have a good day.

Frankly, that's nothing more than trolling by a coward. If he won't open his profle page for personal, private exchanges of views and ideas, he deserves no response at all. Hiding like that is the behavior of cowards with weak arguments in my humble opinion.
That is why when he 'goes drive-by', I don't post ANY responses to him. But, I don't delete his comments or block him either.
Just a suggestion for your consideration. :-)

I can't blame anyone for not seeing this as sarcasm, elcid. As ludicrous as many of the blogs are on golo, it's just as reasonable to assume that I was completely serious. That's the frightening thing!

I completely and totally agree with Elcid......"
LOL, don't feel too bad. I imagine there are more than a few people out there amazed that a 70 year old even knows who Pink Floyd is, much less listens to them. elcid89
I have a very good friend, probably my best friend who loves Floyd. He was born in '37, and gets into more things than I do! I have always loved their music, the haunting guitar, ingenious riffs, and the lyrics that tell incredible stories. David Gilmore of Floyd has gone solo, his new album is called On An Island. If you get a chance look up "Where we start" and "On an Island" on Youtube. Great songs, but knowing how you are you probably already know this. Have a good Day!

Amen to that, Elcid! I've been saying that forever, but their newer fans just won't listen!
But I have to disagree on the Stones, unless I have my dates wrong. Exile On Main Street was arguably their masterpiece; didn't it come after SF?

Interesting trivia on Exile; thanks! I never knew that. Still my fave, though.
What do you think of the Beatles? I've heard many people say it has to be one or the other, but that's never rung true. I like them both, although the Fab 4 are definitely tops for me.
Would love to talk to you some time about having watched all of that music evolve during the 60s; I was born too late. :(

First, I want to say I agree with you whole-heartedly. I think there is no excuse for those actions. However, it raises a couple of questions and perhaps you (since you have a legal background) could help me answer them.

Had to do a handsome heartthrob and I think they got it quicker than we got your's, but nonetheless it was really fun. You have a wonderful Friday, and if there are any old movies out there I've missed you just let me know.;)

Thanks for answering my questions on the blog. I personally feel that sometimes, a person's "rights" extend too far. And this was an example of those times. However, I do not favor a strong gov't interference so my concern comes from the fact that when gov't gets involved, it seldom stops at the approp. place and it keeps pushing for more control. As I said, I do agree that the parents should be held accountable for the death of their daughter. I do wonder why no one pushed for intervention on her behalf? Sad.
