I know the all powerful group mind has banished me from political discourse on this list, but hell, I'm a rebel! I was initially a supporter of the proposed...
Since you asked... I think MMP is a better alternative to the current system where a party that gets 40% of the votes gets 60% of the seats in parliament which...
But this is coming from a flawed perspective of the political system. Parties work for themselves and not for the public, it is INDIVIDUAL MP's that fight for...
I'm reluctant to address this topic on this list, but this post of seephalus's demonstrates a very common misunderstanding of one aspect of the proposed MMP...
Yes you are correct. The way the official election Canada page is written up is conspicuously vague, but the Citizen's Assembly site which I was just made...
Okay, reading this http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.cgi? ubb=get_topic&f=31&t=000663 assessment of the proposal from someone involved in the citizen's...
enuff politics... was mpw the best drummer? was he the best producer? did he have the best facial hair? was he the best keyboard player? was he the best ...
Careful Mikey, the last time I dared say that MPW wasn't the world's greatest drummer he whined on stage because his feelings were hurt. He was the world's...
Hey. Here's a question that's been bugging me for years. Why doesn't my original copy of Whale Music have anything after Dope Fiends and Boozehounds? Just a...
... Geoff: My original copy of WM had nothing after Dope Fiends either. I too was shocked to hear the banter (though the line that goes something like "in the...
Thanks. Deep down I was kinda hoping I had a CD version of a Honus Wagner baseball card. Even so, that album has enriched my life more than any amount of...
It is with great sadness that I inform our Rheostatics group here of the loss of one of our members. On Sunday, Tim, aka the third courier, passed away. I...
Jesus christ. RIP, Tim. ... Only when the last tree has died, and the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught, will we realise we cannot eat...
My condolences...didn't know him personally but I fondly remember his posts. Long may you run Tim... ... ==== The world is, the world is... Love and life are...
Spiced Tea: I'm a little stunned to hear this news. With a few exceptions, we, of course, know very little about one another aside from musing postings but ...
I was watching a documentary on spam (the email kind, not the Hormel product) on Newsworld last night, and in the end credits I noticed that the song "I Am...
Wow, I was listenin' to The Blue Hysteria this morning and thinkin' how much The Third Courier probably liked that record. As someone said, we dont know...
... albums.html ... Arcade Fire at number 8???? Does anyone seriously think they are better than Leonard Cohen or Blue Rodeo? I know these lists aren't the...
Yeah, but Robbie Robertson is a giant douchebag, so...while I see him point, I refuse to agree with him in principle! I agree with you though...Arcade Fire is...
What is wrong with Robbie Robertson? _____ From: rheostatics@yahoogroups.com [mailto:rheostatics@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rich Sent: Saturday, October 20,...
Robbie, while being a great guitarist, is the dude who busted up The Band, because HE felt it was time, and also the one who sorta slyly managed to take sole...
I was one of those fortunate to have met Tim. I didn't know him well but we chatted a few times at Rheos shows and he even gave me a couple of shows he had...
... I don't see how any of that makes him a douchebag. If we want to judge musicians on things other than their music, then most of our 'rock stars' are a...
I have no stated opinion on robbie as a human, nor do I care, but musically, I agree he was by far not the most important member of the band in my mind. They...
