TNP has strange constructs like "rights" and "protections under the law".

Who needs free speech? It just causes problems.

The marsupials may freeze their peaches elsewhere, I for one will have no part of it! On this, I am glad my fellow guardians agree.

On this Thank You Thursday I am grateful that our small extension is finished and that we can start using it.

Hey there,
As Soliferria, I am new here!

Mike Oldfield - Sunlight Shining Through Cloud

Amazing grace! (how sweet that sound)
Has sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

And I, want to feel sun on my face
And I, (I) feel a shadow in its place

"Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears reliev'd
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believ'd!

And I, want to feel sun on my face
And I, (I) feel a shadow in its place
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud

Thro' many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

And I, want to feel sun on my face
And I, feel a shadow in its place
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud
With the sunlight shining through cloud
When we're standing free, proud
With the sunlight shining through cloud
Sunlight shining through cloud
Sunlight shining through cloud
Sunlight shining through cloud

Only found out the other day that Mike Pinder, co-founder of the Moody Blues and Mellotron pioneer had passed away at the end of April. R.I.P. Mike and thanks for the great music.

Moody Blues - Melancholy Man

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CxMXDwP7lqM

I'm a melancholy man
That's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man
Doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing
Wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known

Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet, somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known

Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet, somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see

I'm a melancholy man
That's what I am
All the world surrounds me...
I'm a very lonely man
Just doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing
Just wait and see
Wait and see

Let's Go All The Way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85_FaBP3LvE

Sitting with the thinker, trying to work it out
It's a traffic jam of the brain, makes you want to scream and shout
Presidential party, no one wants to dance
Looking for a new star to put you in a trance

Let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, let's go all the way

Working in a factory eight days a week
Try to make dollar, damn what a beat
Cartoon capers happen in reality
Rich man, poor man, living in fantasy

Let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
Oh oh oh, let's go all the way
Wow, thinker

Yeah yeah yeah
Living in New York, looks like an apple core (apple core)
Asphalt jungle, got to be a man of war
California dreamers sinking in the sand (the sand, the sand, the sand)
The Hollywood squares are living in Disneyland
Wee! Ho

Let's go all the way (let's go all the way)
Let's go all the way (let's go)
Ah, we can make a better way
Let's go all the way
Go all the way
Let's go all the way
Yeah

Na na na-na na na na na na na na-na
Na na na-na na yeah

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pllRW9wETzw

I still dream of Orgonon.
I wake up crying.
You're making rain,
And you're just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.

But every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can't hide you
From the government.
Oh, God, Daddy--
I won't forget,

'Cause every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

The sun's coming out.
Your son's coming out.
