Randomness (part duex...or 'the redux')
Laissez Faire Capitalism should placed right next to Communism in the 'failed ideologies' dust bin of history.
The last I checked a majority is still anything over 50%.

Living in a free society is inherently dangerous, but that isn't a license to do harm.

The oligarchy has hijacked Libertarianism.
If 'greed' is one of the Seven Deadly Sins I sure hope there is an afterlife.
Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. (Please see: The Great Depression & Prohibition.)

If this is my brain on drugs I think that explains why I am hungry. Maybe some hash browns instead of toast?

Oooooh...I can see how that could cut close to the bone. Hopefully none of yours were sacrificed to make that message.

Good question. I wouldn't bet on it.

I am leaning to your way of thinking on that question...

Made me laugh, in spite of it all, mate. As a good friend of mine says, "keep smilin', it'll make them wonder what you're up to".

Make me smile also. Fine

Well I am glad it brought some smiles dd and miguelitoh2o...because it is a proven fact that it takes less muscles to smile than it takes to frown. So why exert yourself anymore than you have to. ;-)

Great one libertine!
just... what's with the disco hate on this site? Not that I'm particularly a fan, but just sayin'. I find it to be a dangerous tendency - first the disco, then the glam-rock, then they'll come for Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet...

I dunno...it's 30+ years later and as a music genre it is dead and buried but I still have antipathy towards it. At the time I really felt it allowed untalented hacks to call themselves musicians without really playing any musical instruments. It just really go well with the other stuff I was listening to at the time, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, etc. ;-)

Untalented hacks, eh? I don't know, my knowledge of disco at the time was limited to this

and it seemed pretty groovy at the time...

First I meant to say 'it didn't go well with the other music'...It's early for me, not enough coffee yet.
So that is your only recollection of disco? Yeah Bwak got it right...and you're a fortunate doggie for that fact.

Naw, but "fiat money is just dandy" should be.

Libertine is Rotwang.

Hehehe...well not that I know of. But with the internets being anonymous and all I can't be sure.
Herr Docktor is much more talented than me...even if on some level our thought processes seem very similar in nature. Besides I haven't yet built a robot wife...that is too cool.

There's something suspiciously similar between Libertine's Randomness and Rotwang's Ruminations. That's right, they both start with "R" and end with "s." Very intaresting.
Still, Lib, you are hear-by awarded the Medal of Musical Valor for going above and beyond mere ear-candy listening pleasure, group-think, conformism or opportunities to wear albatross-sized wing-collared suits and high heels, thereby providing invaluable assistance in the victory of Rock 'n Roll in the Battle of (fake) Funk vs. Punk.

Thanks Don... 8-)
But the silly clothes can't be pinned on the disco crowd. It was really an invention of the glam rockers, like these chaps.
But still disco had to be killed for the sake of humanity...but the damage had been done. Disco still managed to destroy from thereafter all rock and roll as we knew it to that point. And ironically Pink Floyd had a role in killing rock and roll with their album The Wall. After that record companies stopped caring about the music per se and started focusing on how many ways the music could be used to make more money.

Okay, Bowie, Lou Reed, even Iggy was wearing make-up. But what about those little silver baby spoons the Disco-ers wore around their necks? Kind of childish to wear some little nostalgic baby trinket like that (and they couldn't hold their beer; had to use the restroom all the time, because they had the sniffles, I guess).

Yep, those groups, The Sweet, Queen, MC5, T Rex, etc...
Hehehe...the Coke spoons? Which of course explain the bathroom breaks and sniffles. It wasn't music, it was a status symbol for the beautiful people who didn't like down and dirty rock and roll and its fans. It was all style with no substance....a real life Saturday Night Fever.
I don't know how I would classify Iggy and the Stooges. That band and MC5 are considered proto-punk/garage rock bands who paved the way for groups like the Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Ramones, The Clash, etc and the 2nd wave of punk bands in the 80's like the Dead Kennedys, The Misfits and Suicidal Tendencies.
