@corbe staring BS threads to pad your thread count in order to catch up with @Right_in_Virginia (#5) will not be tolerated. You can do better.

Uncle Kracker - "Drift Away" (good cover)


www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLK9fbk4Lp4
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

    I miss Mod8, she usually gave me the benefit of the doubt.  Which may have led to her disappearance.    888mouth

ActuallyI I think the idea of a thread called Drift Away would be great. Ideas and songs to relax and get to sleep.

   I started this Thread because twice in as many days I have 'Drifted Away' on a particular Topic (got off topic) as I am most app to do and it was brought to my attention.  I certainly agree that Threads should not be derailed, particularly in their infancy (unless incredibly stupid) but once a Thread has matured and people have vanished I think should be open game. 
   Briefers do need an avenue to escape. 
   My problem is I have a lousy sense of timing in determining when a Thread Qualifies, hence my admonishment and my butthurt.

   Been a good weekend. 
   Robin seems to make them, more often than not, Enjoyable.
   Hope my Briefer Friends also enjoyed this end of July 2021.

So what would it take to derail THIS thread?  Mentioning something substantive?
If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion,
mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
