Virgin America: No Niggers Or Virgins On My Plane
I flew up and back to Seattle recently on Virgin America Airlines. Service was excellent. I only have two questions. Why is the airline called Virgin? I saw no virgins. Maybe Sir Richard Branson thought it would be daring and or somewhat sexy to name his air service virgin? But why? What's any virgin offered in helpful guide or paced overall sexual experience? It would be more likely a virgin would need some guiding hand and some oral instructions from an experienced partner. No. Virgin conjures inexperience. Is that what an airline wants to project? Does the pilot want help from passengers ? I think not. That may be a trifle.But it shows some immaturity or lack of experience. One would think that some enterprising non virgin would have got a hold of Sir Richard at some point into his second million-now he's worth billions- and brought him along to the point where virgins are not where it's at. Maybe he believes in novels more than first hand experienced women. Any way, it's no big deal. But another part of my Virgin America trip went over the line and gave me critical mass for this critique. It was the instructional video on safety.It was a nigger rap, hip hop presentation. I saw no niggers on the plane. There was one black women who was not a nigger. The video was done with rap music cadence . The video made white people look like stupes and the non white players were hip and willing to condescend to whitey and instruct about safety procedures on the plane. The film even took swipes at nuns. One of the lead blacks was a Africa-American preteen young man dressed in suit and bow tie who was the sophisticated lead. To sum up there were no virgins on the plane. And there were no niggers on the plane . I can abide the virgin . But I can't stand the nigger rap.

Jo Stafford vs David Bowie: Metaphor For Population Control ?
Jo Stafford past away last Wednesday at the age of 90. She was eulogised by musical critics ".... as the woman with a pure vibrato-less voice, a perfect intonation that conveyed steadfast devotion and reassurance with delicate understatement". I have an album with her and the Pied Pipers backing up Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Band. I have also heard and enjoyed her singles. The musical critics are correct. But one has to listen to really be informed and moved.
Last night an older David Bowie concert was shown on TV. I looked and listened for as long as possible. It took about a minute for a earful. His "singing" could have been played backwards with the same effect.
I have a theory that there is an inverse relationship between quality music and the growth of population. I.E. the more the people the worse the quality of music becomes. So when the over- due die- back of the human infestation finally happens there will be rewards.

Sonar & Marine Mammals & Rap Music & People
Naval brass are bemoaning the recent enlightened ruling by Judge Florence-Marie Cooper of Federal District Court in Los Angeles. She ordered the Navy to stop using sonar in naval exercises off of Southern California because it causes severe sensory hardship and dislocation to marine mammals resulting in massive deaths by getting beached. Marine mammals include our distant relatives whales, porpoises and dolphins. They stayed in the water hundreds of millions of years ago when we left to slash and burn dry land.
The Navy says the noisy sonar naval exercises are necessary to protect against U.S. enemies. Oh ? How many submarimes does Al-Qaeda have? Introducing loud sonar into the quiet depths of the sea is akin to playing rap music over super-speakers in Yosemite Valley. Some morons might like that, but that's why iPods are available. If marine mammals wanted loud sounds they would have invented them. I predict that any species that maintains an affinity for loud sounds will not last as long as a species that avoids loud sounds. Why? Because loud sounds distract from attaining self-knowledge.
If you're trying to find people you used to know then using some kind of online people search engine for finding people could be helpful.
