Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
I'm just glad everyone now realizes what is growing inside a woman for 9 months is a person.
Re: “Amid Concerns About Heavily Processed Wheat and Gluten, Twin Forks Farm Bread is Worth a Try”
I am a huge fan of their bread. We use their Pain Au Levain on the menu at Mason's for a couple of different dishes and our vegetarian kale and mushroom stew. Try their Lemon Rosemary bread. They only bake it on Saturdays but it is divine!
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
Yes, Men's magazine gave us a ranking we can be proud of: 3rd in the laziest cities listings. That's behind Jackson, Ms, and Charleston, WV. That survey supposedly has nothing to do with race or class. Maybe it's the late sleeping musicians that helped out, or the large number of State and Metro workers within our population, or the Belle Meade loafers, whatever! I say let's go for number 1 in the next survey. I'm starting on my part of that today.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Well, he wouldn't be the norm, you're right. But neither would he have had a slew of clients eager for his services if abortion were more affordable and readily available. In other words, perpetuating a situation where abortions are increasingly difficult to obtain makes it more likely that a Gosnell can set up a business and succeed in it.
I also think that Gosnell was much more motivated by money than by dealing death. One thing that has been underreported on is his sideline of prescription drug dealing, working together with various pharmacists in the area. He made a LOT of money that way and enjoyed spending it.

"Trying to make public policy based on the actions of a serial killer is foolish. There aren't that many of them. How serial killers act tells us nothing about how the majority of people who have superficially similar traits to them."
You are talking about gun control, right?
Re: “Haslam Vetoes Ag Gag Bill”
While I'm very pleased the Governor vetoed this bill, I was sorry to see that
his remarks left open the door for another similar bill next year.

Just saw a story on Yahoo, Nashville is also the 3rd laziest city in the U.S....

"Humanity now has the option to become successful on our planet if we reorient world production away from weaponry- from " killingry" to "livingry".
But can we convince humanity in time?" -R. Buckminster Fuller
A Measure of the Sin!
Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
"My heart was heavy, for its trust had been abused,
its kindness answered by foul wrong;
So turning gloomily, from my fellow men,
One summer Sabbath day I strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial-place;
Where, pondering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level;and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,
Whither all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself and pitying my race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and trembling I forgave!"
- John Greenleaf Whittier

Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
I like how Mark says the place with the most restrictive zoning laws in the state is the best governed. I thought zoning was the mark of the Agenda 21 beast!
Williamson County is what they are now because they built a mall that half the state shopped at for 15 years. They took in a lot of money that came in from other counties and used it to build a pretty little suburb. They use that tax money to put into schools and public services. Imagine that.
But yes, it's still a redneck town. It's run by old money. It's pretty much all white. They drive as many trucks and SUV's as any other county in the state, if newer ones. They passed resolutions of hate against the gays and the Muslims, and accused our Republican governor of not being Republican enough to suit them. They elect the redneck con woman Marsha Blackburn to Congress, and she tries all kinds of redneck tricks in Washington.

A Measure of the Sin;
"We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time. God manifests Himself everywhere, -in everything-in people and in things and in events...The only thing is we don't see it...I have no program for this seeing. It is only given. But the gate of heaven is everywhere. "- Thomas Merton

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion-all in one."

Re: “Third Man Records to Release Sun Records Reissue Series, Beginning With Rufus Thomas, The Prisonaires and Johnny Cash”
And even more on the Prisonaires if I may engage in a little self-promotion:
http://nashvillepublicradio.org/blog/2013/…
All of Carl Perkins including his first record on the short-lived Sun subsidiary "Flip Records," Harmonica Frank Floyd, Warren Smith -Miss Froggie, Billy Riley - Flying Saucer Rock'n'Roll, Miller Sisters - "Ten Cats Down," and even though its from the Shelby Singleton Sun era as opposed to the Sam Phillips era, the complete Orion on 45, baby!
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
Daisy Deadhead, Bob Jones is full of Holy Rollers, which are not related to the Redneck. Rednecks are partial to Natural Light , "Natties", which is disdained in Holy Roller culture. Holy Rollers are closer to Hillbillys, note that Bob Jones is close to the Smokies/Appalachia where people handle snakes in religious services and have often been described as Hillbilly Holy Rollers.
