If you're going to pick a new word to describe Democrats (since "liberal" is taboo), it should be, maybe, "conservative" and then the Republicans can reclaim "fascist" and call it done.

They're both discretely measurable phenomena with no provable link to personality type. I think they both fail under exactly the same amount of scientific scrutiny. Sure, it SOUNDS more scientific because it takes more complex equipment to measure one than the other, but they're both just arbitrary characteristics that could possibly influence personality. (Now, I'm not arguing that the possible influence of one's astronomical sign has ANYTHING to do with the stars and their gravitational pull... obviously, the furniture in the room at your place and time of birth have a greater gravitational effect than the stars and planets. But I've contended in the past that there is some possibility that one's "sign" could just be an indicator of the type of people one's parents were because they were fertile and sexually active at a particular time of year. -- Hell, it makes as much sense as blood type.)

Odd...I just bought this yesterday, and finally crossing that off my "list" was partially what motivated the thread. And Michael wants this too! I bought four secondhand double-CDs at once, which may be a first. For some reason, the store's new-arrivals bin was full of them. Especially stuff on Columbia. I also bought Stevie/Songs in the Key of Life (which I've owned for awhile on *very* used vinyl), Miles Davis/Big Fun (a somewhat spontaneous pick -- I skimmed it for "research purposes," and liked it more than expected) and the deluxe version of the Who's My Generation (which I've also owned for awhile on secondhand vinyl). > Richard Thompson/Henry the Human Fly Ooh, we're twinsies! > The Wild Swans/Bringing Home the Ashes This is collectable?

I kinda feel the same way. "Suicide" is one of those albums which is acclaimed more for being "first" than for actually being *good*. I do have it (on a Restless two-fer which adds the second "Suicide" album), but it's more out of historical obligation than anything else.
