Guy's like buckethead and Ynwie Malmsteen and michael angelo batio all are at unbelievable levels of skill but influential? barely. Tobe unfluential you need to chahge the game guys like Van Halen and Hendrix are always named and Dimebag of course but that's because they chnaged a lot they wrote riffs that changed music. Let's mention Tony Iommi (dude's missin fingers for god sake)

 Anyways, if i have a tiny week magnet it can pick a paper clip off the table easily. So why is magnetism so much stronger then gravity and is there no way to harness this energy?

If you ask me if Beethoven or Wagner were alive today they'd be shredding like Eddie or Dimebag.  

By this theory is god omnipresent? In a way yes as it is with everyone and everything at all times but it is not a singularity. All knowing? not as far as material facts but as far as knowing the best and most moral decision to make in a perticular situation i think yes.

Rage Against the Machine? The Tragically Hip?

Some names are really memorable like the butthole surfers you laugh when ya first hear it but hen it's hard to take them seriously cuase the surfers you would assume are a really dumb band who'd a known they make quality music?

I'm thinking that this election if Nader wins he'll get a good chunk of the vote especially if Clinton gets the Dem nomination. But if people who want this change really get their word out what election will it be? 2016 before it get's talked about? 2020 before there's a chance?

There are way too many variables in this equation to make a acurate prediction. but I would like to hear some opinions.

This arguments for this are that with the tax bracket system you can get a raise at work but if you jump into a new tax bracket you could end up making less money. Also it would be taxing the rich more then the poor because the rich buy more (imagine a 35 percent sales tax on you're fancy new BMW?). Also it would make criminals also contribute because even though htey're getting their money illegally they steall need to buy food. If cars were suddenly even more expensive then maybe people would be more likely to use public transit, or maybe the tax would be much lower on Hybrids and such). Also it may encourage people to buy stuff at places were there are no taxes (instead of going to the supermarket go buy your fruit and vegies at the local farmers market, there are countless great benefits of buying produce locally)

Arguments against it would be that if people were to buy a lot of stuff abroad then obviously they wouldn't be contributing to the pot. It may also encourage people to buy stuff illegally. I think that white collar crim would go up as far as bussisness honchos buying stuff under the table form their bussisness honcho friends but i think that laws could be put in place and strongly enforced.

Opinions are very much appreciated. Are there more downfalls I am not seeing ?

I think that fundamental Atheism is as dangerous as fundamental christianity, judaism or Islam. It is saying that I'm %100 right you're %100 wrong. Personally I've adopted agnostic views. 

I've heard that it is impossible for a human mind to grasp the concept of eternity. I however believe it exists wether or not I can fully comprehend it.  

 Has anyone ever thought of the whole "god created erth in 7 days" IF THERE WASN"T AN EARTH THERE WERE NO DAYS!

When in discussion with friends about many poitcal issues 1984 comes up a lot. Does it with you?

Juat this week a bunch of fancy widescreen tv's have been mounted all about the walls in my school. They've been blank so far but apparently they'll be looping ADVERTISEMENTS! (like the telescreens inOorwells Oceania (1984)) This was a very exagerated example of how these books although most of them written decades ago are still very relvant. 

However it will mean the demise of the local record shop, the death of an industry. Simply tlaking to other music lovers, recomending stuff he/she will think you'll like.

I have a favourite record shop called Lyle's Place, I have bought countless records and other music related stuff (posters, t-shirts...)

I know that the whole internet thing has the social element but it doesn't compare to physically buying something, unwrapping it and examining every bit of packaging, pictures and words while anticipating throwing it in the player (or computer) the second you get home.

This record store has been a fixture in my city for years and the most intersting people work and shop there and it's a place i can go and enjopy m,yself when the burden of math class isn't worth it. I just want others after me can expereince this but it seems unlikely.
