OT

Why several posters here

are writing stuff like:

"X is Y!"

"Every X is Y!"

"No X is Y"

This is not about

"every post shows poster's opinion".

It's more similar to prevarication.

And...

They don't know jack!

Is this a freak circus?

....How about a poem?

Hot taps, cold taps, wormholes

Left eye

is seeing the blue.

Right eye's seeing red shades.

Another one, apparently,

doesn't wanna talk about it again.

You can read my recent post on Islam and music, religion here.

Came across this.

Take a look and see what you think.

My response was immediate and uncompromising.

"Leave the fucker alone"

Get all your cotton pickin hands off any new age garbage you reckon is arising.

Go watch the vegetables grow, go dance, make love, meditate, whatever, but fer kerists sake stop driving this arrant nonsense of what we as homo-sapiens now have to do.

To my mind it was just this interference that got the whole thing out of whack (if it is indeed out of whack) in the first place.

Just a peculiar thought.

Relevant!

One thing I find relevant about this to the communications here in the Next Right land, is that very often there actually is a bunch of extra 'noise' subsequently acting on the transmitter signal(a message) to vary it from the 'original', in the form of opinions, and statements, and digressions, spin-offs, etc, which interferes with the message, and the original point/challenge gets buried.

There's only one sentence in his space-filling comment that wasn't simply an ad hom.[...]

Just as true...maybe some, if not many of the messages here start out with noise before they even get out the starting gate. "When anything acts on the signal so as to bury it in an unpredictable and undesirable way in a communication system, it is noise." Interesting, yes.
