Isn't the whole problem that, since nobody openly talks about providers, nobody knows who the originals are? Of course, everyone can claim to be the guy at the top, but who knows?
This is kinda how I operate. Just listen to pandora while I'm doing other tasks and see if new songs grow on me, then every few weeks, I put all my thumbed up songs on spotify playlists.
Yeah, I really don't understand why people always repeat the line that "Jews and Muslims have been fighting forever". This conflict is a direct result of outside interference, and it seems difficult to understand why things were set up the way they were. I need to do much more reading, because from what I understand, there doesn't seem to be a plausible explanation, other than the powers that be wanted endless conflict. Generations later, you can't ask Israelis to give up everything they've known, but the Palestinians were made to do the same thing, already. It makes sense for Israel to do most of what it does, now, in defense of itself, but it doesn't make sense that we're here, in the first place. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are screwed over and over. There doesn't seem to be a way out of this that doesn't involve one group wiping the other group out. Nobody is going to come along and say "screw ethnic and religious histories, let's just be human and share the land".
Meh, I was upset with the rise of the extreme right, but it seems like the US is passing the test. People are being tried for their crimes, election tampering, etc. Just because you build something doesn't mean people won't try to tear it down. It's certainly not perfect, but it's also not a finished product.
Late 30s. Hell yes I drink the milk. That's the whole reason I ate the cereal.
