I get why people would reach out for guidance to those who have weathered tough times alone prior to the current experience. But honestly, sometimes that leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it's coming from people who looked down on you, the so-called strong one who knows how to survive when you were going through it....but now fair weather friends want to buddy up for your help and strength? I know we're all human, flawed and learning as we go, but man that really feels unfair sometimes...

When the Ceaucescus would get nervous about an artist's voice getting too powerful, that artist would be summoned for a meeting with a certain colonel.

They'd be put in a waiting room and wait six+ hours on a bench and then be told the meeting was canceled.

Of course, the bench had a lump of strontium-90 under it, and if the artist hadn't died of cancer in 6 mos., they'd be called in for another meeting.

@artbrau, @brainiac: No kidding -- the "Tro-lo-lo" guy was one of the Soviet censor Lapin's favorites! He was one of the people promoted over the women I wrote to Sheila about. And the song lyrics were about an American cowboy freely riding the range. Of course that was verboten, so they changed to nonsense "Tro-lo-lo"! Can't make this stuff up...

Only caught the last hour but excellent show and I am right with you sister on the judge-mental folk out there. Missed but loved that you played "they're coming to take me" LOL. Thanks Shiela B with one L. Stay safe all.

I think everyone is doing a fine job of warping Sheila’s on air rant that she clearly senses her own doubts into an actual policy that is somehow going to lead to genocide.

Anyway, put them on trial and lock them up.

of course, Jake totally agree with your first paragraph, but as you demonstrate with your second paragraph people think it's right and it leads to division and mob think -there's satire but i don't think this is what that was

Jake, no need to be disingenous. People pointing out that Sheila B. was calling for a reeducation camp is not the same as criticizing her for being genocidal.

I have a bagel store near me whose owner’s son thinks it’s unfair that Nazi rallies are banned and I personally believe is a member of “Patriot Front.”

And just this week spent an evening tearing down multiple home-made posters that compared “Social Isolation” to people being gathered onto cattle cars in World War II.
