Alan Bean chides CBF for lack of "political preaching"

I like Bean's phrase "making a virtue out of grim necessity." This is the CBF's position, seems to me, although individuals identifying with the group take many partisan positions. Tough to do anything that would reduce the money flow. We all feel that at times.

...and the CBF is master (mistress?) of the grand statement of principle: "individual and systemic, global and national, state and local, relational and non-partisan.” A masterpiece signifying not a whole lot.

I agree with Dave.

But without the shapes, how can you tell where the la's are that prove it minor?!

[Dave Roberts]

OK, I used a faulty analogy. Not the first or the last. I like several minor keyed pieces of music.

Maybe we could create a forum for musical debate to break the monotony!

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah."

From "Hallelujah" by Leonard Norman Cohen
