My philosophy balances individual rights and the common good. Social equity, universal human rights, justice for all, freedom of thought, rational inquiry, evidence-based decisions, economic balance, and environmental stewardship.
Liberty cannot exist without Equity.
@GenXGrumpy@FutureHOF3@ABC Priest? Are you referred to Catholics? I’ve been in several churches, none of whom issues certs.
A church does not have to marry anyone. No one’s rights are being violated.
This is about civil marriage, not religious.
@VolsAF That what evangelicals used to say about interracial marriage. You sound more like the Taliban than the Founding Fathers.
If your religion requires you to control other people to survive then it’s not faith in Christ. It’s 10-ply snowflake weak.
@FutureHOF3@ABC You have serious flaws in your understanding of legal history. If it is strictly religious, why does the state issue marriage licences? You are not legally married unless you have a state issued license, therefore it is civil.
Christian nationalist pastor Brian Sauvé says women should not have access to social media unless "some competent man is curating and blocking and directing and taking a look at what's going on." https://t.co/MUg0khUQIy
@funkatopia Parliament/Funkadelic are legends! I was a kid when this came out and couldn’t buy the record, but I remember it. As a bassist, they forever influenced my playing style. One of a kind greatness.
KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?
SCALISE: Look, Joe Biden removed the press credentials from over 400 different agencies
KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the White House. That did not happen.
SHOW YOUR LOVE! A super happy birthday to an amazing dude, Mr. Jerome Benton born on this day in 1962. While his career may have started as background vocalist, percussionist, and infamous mirror-holder, he became a household name with his scene stealing performances in Purple Rain, Under the Cherry Moon, and Graffiti Bridge. When he's in the frame, he demands your attention and still does today! Happy birthday to Da Man!
SHOW YOUR LOVE! 44 Years Ago, The Time dropped 777-9311 as a single from their 2nd studio album What Time Is It?. It would forever traumatize musicians, as drummers around the world spent an inordinate amount of time trying to replicate the drum track.
It was widely believed to be a stock drum track in the Linn LM-1 drum machine by Tower of Power's David Garibaldi. However, David debunked that myth in an exclusive Funkatopia interview (https://t.co/wm6DYYSeb6) indicating that he had nothing to do with that drum pattern. He noted that while the drum sounds may be his, he did NOT create the drum loop featured in the song.
777-9311 was also an actual phone number that belonged to guitarist Dez Dickerson and Prince loved the lyrical flow of it and didn't even bother consulting Dez, who was forced to change it once the song got released.
Even though Prince wrote and performed the instrumentation on the track, he was not credited. The B-side for the single was the cult classic Grace, which featured a fake interview with Morris Day over an instrumental loop from 777-9311. But her name was not Grace.
