G.I. Jane gives a thumbs up! to POW abuse

And now here's a bit of personal philosophy from alpha charlie bravo:

Either one lives according to principles or one does not. One should not espouse a principle and then use the unprincipled actions of others to justify its violation. Otherwise, the principle becomes meaningless and nothing within the ethical realm is not relative. Of course, one may freely choose to advance a model of the world without clearly defined principles. But, that is not the sort of world I would prefer to live in.

I'm looking for this album:

Angola 72 by Bonga.
If you have it will you please make me a copy so I don't have to buy it from some European World Music wholesaler. Damn Europeans.... Or if you see it somewhere toss me a head up. I haven't yet begun to search the brick and mortar.

It's not as bad as you would hope, but it's not good either:

"Mr. Combs is not the wholesale embarrassment that connoisseurs of schadenfreude were hoping for...

Most disspiriting, though, is his lack of variety. Though his eyes gleam promisingly in the early scenes, there is rarely a flicker of transforming feeling on his handsome, self-assured face. You can only sympathize with [director Kenny] Leon, who has come up with various devices for working around this stolidity..."

But, he's eating the eggs!

God save Audra McDonald.
