to beatbo~~Thanks for that post on Pete Townsend! Like Rick, I don't normally read long posts like that one, but read every word this time. I'm glad his 5 years on the SO list is over & done, I believe Pete. It seems his main offense was being a little stupid and a lot naive in going about his research on child porn/abuse. "Research" is actually a healthy way in dealing with one's childhood traumas, as Pete thinks happened to himself....he just didn't go about it the right way. And I realize that the experts in all those agencies say that many of the pedophiles & abusers use "research" as an excuse, but then that makes me wonder if any of those same experts aren't guilty of the same thing.....using their job/position to get at the child porn. So I try to just have faith in, and believe the best of, people until they prove otherwise.
to JethroTull~~Yes, Yukon is Rick, not Joel. Not that it matters because I've found them both to be very nice, helpful, informative guys who are fun & enjoyable to talk to, unless they get provoked to wrath by idiotic morons. (will probably get put on quite a few shit lists for that statement!)
to all~~Did anyone else watch the Kennedy Center Honors? I loved the tribute to Daltry & Townsend, especially the woman who did Love Reign O'er Me. Jack Black's speech was both funny & moving, it nearly had me in tears. Until the camera panned over to President Bush and he was giving one of those monkey looks of his, that took away from the moment, LOL.
