My children really enjoy Bruce Springsteen's album The Seeger Sessions, and I believe it has helped re-introduce traditional American folk music to a whole new generation. Any thoughts?

pacodecabra I think that treatment for AIDS will continue to improve, and people with HIV will be able to live longer without actually developing AIDS. But just as we have searched for decades for a cure for cancer with no success, I'm afraid a cure for AIDS is probably...

pacodecabra Che was a man ahead of his time. He cared about Argentina, but he saw that Argentina could only prosper if the oppression that existed in the rest of South America (and Cuba) was overcome.

Have you ever wondered why some people are so very quick to join the military and serve their country while others are simply not interested at all? I've often wondered. I'm so proud of my dad, a Navy man, who takes such pride...

pacodecabra I think people joined for any number of reasons. Some need the GI Bill to pay for college, some do it to get out of a bad situation (in my platton at Basic Training we had several ex-gang members from LA trying to escape that situation). I joined during Desert...

pacodecabra Still don't know yet what the script will be about, but I'm sure I'll know by April or so. As far as publishing the first book, I've had trouble even getting agents to read some sample chapters because it's not in the same genre as DaVinic Code (D*mn that Dan...

pacodecabra Howard definitely deserved it, and should have been chosen by the coaches originally. I would like to see Jason Terry replace Iverson, but I don't think the Comish will do it.

pacodecabra I am disturbed by the fact that such a poorly written book with so many historical inaccuracies has been accepted as fact by so many people. And the more people condemn it, the more money Dan Brown makes.
