No, I don't think that is a correct inference.  Obviously people have
different capacities for pain, and the same person has different
capacities at different times or in different circumstances. I never
said, or implied, that people are all the same.

But I think what we have here is a religious disagreement, ultimately.  I 
am pro-choice, and you--it appears from your posted articles--are anti-
choice.  Those are not matters of fact, they are matters of opinion.  

If you hold it as a deeply felt conviction that no pain is incurable, then
of course you must be anti-choice.  I can't imagine how anyone could
doubt for a moment that there is such a thing as incurable pain; but as
I said earlier, the matter is not susceptible of objective proof.  Since
you hold the conviction you do, logically you must take up an
anti-choice position as you have done, and no one can persuade you
otherwise since that flows from your conviction.

Since I hold it as obvious that some pain is incurable, of course I must 
be pro-choice.  I'm not sure what more there is to say at this point:
Since we are arguing from contrary premises there's really no way for us
to reach agreement.

No one? <hehehehe>
Dwelling on pain is (to be sure) a kind of pain that no good can come from..
That's a good point you highlighted, though.. I never believed that pain
was a 'healthy' thing. Living a painless life sure would make you sheltered,
naive, and far removed from reality, but it's already tragic that reality
includes so much pain.. <sigh>

When I was a kid, and everyone hurt me every chance they got (peers, parents
telling me how stupid I was, etc.), it made me strong, but in a bad way. It
was not healthy. I spend the next oh.. 12 years of my life planning a most
devious revenge, which boiled down to: "It's me or them.." DEFINITELY not
a good thing. Now I'm emotionally damaged beyond repair, so sure.. There's
LOTS of things that are inherently bad.

  That's interesting.. I used to think the same thing, except my bad winters
started long before I was 7. I only used to like Summer.. Nothing else.
Then one day, I walked out into a FREEZING day, took a deep breath, and 
all of a sudden I enjoyed winter. Thinking about it, all the seasons are
nice, each in its way (of course). Don't you ever find a little joy in the
way the snow sparkles different colors?

  Whatever floats your boat.. Pleasant memories are pleasant for different
reasons to different people. As a child, I used to spend each day in
anticipation of another episode of Battle of the Planets. Oh yes..
That was *THE* highlight of my day. Trivia is cute. No problems there.

My apologies to those who sent me mail after my previous posting on this
subject.  My news/mail connect was (and still is) in flux ie I can receive
stuff ok, but there are some bugs in the outgoing.  Anyway...

Inuit Throat and Harp Songs
Eskimo Women's Music of Povungnituk
Canadian Music Heritage Collection MH001

is an outstanding recording of Eskimo throat singing.  As you might have
guessed, it's also out of print.  Apparently has been so for quite some
time, as the most recent catalog listing I've seen for it was in the
1984 NMDS.

All, however, is not lost.  Canadian Music Heritage Collection was a label
produced by Music Gallery Editions, which in turn came out of The Music
Gallery, a Toronto performance space.  All of their recordings are out
of print, but I spoke to a fellow there a few weeks back, and he indicated
that they could provide cassette copies of this disk for $10 + $2 postage.

I don't even have an LP of theirs. I've got a dubofadubofadub thingy.

Yeah. Lots. What does that have to do with Deux Filles though? They don't
make "space music." They make "Ethereal Weirdness Music." Just judging
by the albums I have, "Hearts of Space" wouldn't touch them with a 1000
foot pole. Can you honestly picture MftHoS playing a song like, or titled,
"Albert the Mud Fish" (sounds exactly like you might expect a mud fish to
sound, only more ethereal)?
 
Thanks in advance for any information you can obtain. I can't tell you
how much I'd appreciate it. Deux Filles was one of those groups that
I thought would forever be in my "NeverOnCD" list.

Perhaps he's been slacking.

I was just reading of an art exhibition organised by Peter Greenaway

Apparently the theme is human attempts at flying and combines all the

Was watching Joe Bob's Drive In Theater last night on the Movie channel,
and I have to say that Stuart Gordon's "Pit And the Pendulum" <not really
based on Poe, but Poe influenced> is one of the sickest movies I had seen
in the last couple of months. Nice witchhunting drama, with the usual
torture, and mutilation. Great tongue ripping tribute to "Mark Of The 
Devil" too.
Might not take top honors, but it is the grossest thing I have seen lately.
Made at a castle in Italy, and with very nice cinematography.
This kind of stuff almost gives you hope for Full Moon Entertainment, following

No, I don't buy that. If Gaff was just some kind of wanna-be bladerunner,

Haven't heard of any new projects, but I was wondering what you thought of  
that supersonic high-pitched singing in "Prospero"?  I went to see it  
after a bottle of red wine was beginning to wear off and it significantly  
contributed to my headache.  Other than that, I thought the film was  
visually AMAZING, esp. the Bottecellian sets and the artwork in the  
"books" themselves.  
You've got to see "Drowning By Numbers" (if you haven't already) its  
classic Greenaway.  Large, overeating men and strange pervading  
themes--plus lots of roadkill.
