I am no pundit. I reserve the right to be wrong. I reserve the right to be persuaded by arguments merited by logos, ethos, and, in certain cases, pathos. I reserve the right to change my mind. I am seeking Truth, not necessarily rectitude; and pride very rarely leads to enlightenment. I am seeking Truth, and I admit to still being only partially fufilled. What I present are opinions and enthusiasms that more or less approximate truth. When I passionately believe in something, I will passionately defend it; when I am unsure I will admit uncertainty; when I am wrong, I will remain silent. Those who love Truth must be passionate and principled listeners as well as speakers. 6:28:26 PM    comment []

"We now have cultural machines so powerful that one singer can reach everybody in the world, and make all the other singers feel inferior because they're not like him." ... "Once that gets started, he gets backed by so much cash and so much power that he becomes a monstrous invader from outer space, crushing the life out of all the other human possibilities. My life has been devoted to opposing that tendency." [by way of the New York Times] —Alan Lomax 6:19:31 PM    comment []

Now that JG is back in the office, I can start getting a proper feel for the client. For the most part, their group in MM&J (alias supplied to protect the innocent) is fairly laid-back compared to other sites I’ve been on, but my impression is that their group is much more active than the standard MM&J employee, even after certain events last year. I believe that JG and BP are the cause of this; they seem cut from the same cloth, and in fact they worked together before JG jumped aboard MM&J. and brought BP aboard. 5:00:20 PM    comment []
