That really isn't the issue as the sick will mainly stay home. The issue is if they are not sick with COVID. Last movie I tried to watch was Power Project - really couldn't get through it.

Don't get why anyone would buy season tickets. Basically throwing money away as you can get almost any seat on a weekly basis at a significant discount.

Does your wife speak Korean? One of the reasons I thought Train is the best is because it is still really great even though I have to read sub-titles. I can imagine how good it is if you can speak Korean.

The sequel, to the best Zombie movie of all, is out. If it comes close to the first one we'll all be happy.

Ok that makes sense - thought his was one of the statues that Pelosi was having removed.

Then they shouldn't take him down or at least not take him down for that reason (Tennessee replacing him for someone they like more would be ok).

You never did answer the question about your ggg grandfather. Did they put the statue there for his work as a confederate or for establishing the bar association?

Still wearing Redskins gear - Good for him.

Apples and Oranges yet again. Was your GGG Grandfathers statue submitted because he was a confederate or because he helped found the Bar association?

You think he will un-retire the name? I wish I had that kind of optimism.

Rumor Intelligence (RUMINT) is a core feature of this board.

Well there goes a couple (few) of billion dollars.

Given what is being targeted now even 1500 teams wouldn't enough (Not by a 10th).

You kind of proved my point.

You guys ares still missing the point - It wasn't even confederate stuff I was talking about - I'm pointing out the Jacobin inclinations that have taken control off much of the protest and this board.

Hey, I guess the Whitney Plantation should be added to your the lists. You all are missing the point of why it was preserved and are acting like a bunch of Jacobins.

""where you come dangerously close to flirting with 'white power' Ahh - the old accusation of racism move huh? Other times in history you'd have been saying I've come dangerously close to wrecking. You have joined the US equivalent of a struggle session (Look it up). Think you may have gone off track here we were discussing historical artifacts where events actually occurred vice putting up monuments to celebrate individuals defending slavery.

Yes, you can move artifacts and sometimes you have too, but they are more effective as historical artifacts in the place they were used (The whippings happened at that location and it would give added context to people viewing the post). I don't like the thinking that has people believing that this was an insult minorities to leave it in place, when the exact opposite is the case.

Oh probably for the same reason the Andersonville and Alcatraz prisons are still around, the execution block in the Tower of London is still around (as are the Tower's torture equipment), the Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps are still around. There is a difference between monuments and artifacts. It's a pretty minor artifact but I don't like the thinking that went into removing it. It wasn't a celebration or a tribute to previous punishment, it was an artifact that showed what had been done.

By Andrew Sullivan ".......The movement’s destruction of even abolitionist statues, its vandalism of monuments to even George Washington, its crude demonization of figures like Jefferson, its coerced public confessions, its pitiless wreckage of people’s lives and livelihoods, its crude ideological Manichaeanism, its struggle sessions and mandated anti-racism courses, its purging of cultural institutions of dissidents, its abandonment of objective tests in higher education (replacing them with quotas and a commitment to ideology), and its desire to upend a country’s sustained meaning and practices are deeply reminiscent of some very ugly predecessors......"

There are three of us that work together on a contract - one Trump voter/supporter who thinks Trump is not as bad as the left claims him to be (He also concedes that Trump is not a conservative), one never-Trumper and one Dem (Actually is part of the Kelley campaign). I have another acquaintance who worked in the same building who always asked me if I changed my mind because of all the great things Trump has done, - there is a distinct difference between the 1st guy and the last (the majority of Trump voters are of the 1st variety - they are still wrong about him but are not cultish). These cultish guys actually hate Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham nevermind the Haley's, Martha McSallys and Collinses. The Republican party is in serious trouble because of Trump and he will be handing the country over to the Dems this fall and it may be a while before they can recover. In effect Trump in 2016 was the best thing that could have happened for the Democratic Party.

Some of them honestly think he is great - it is cult like.

Just watched Da Bloods. Pretty disappointing given Lee's previous work. Predictable and amateurish, something you might see from a first time director and script writer. Acting didn't help either. It's a long and boring movie that the wife and I gave up on before the end.
