   Too vague to apply to just one theory. However, in general, the idea that   
   the universe is electrical in nature is a plausible *idea*.   
   But of course, now we have to *define* what "electrical" Really IS. The   
   usual concept is that it's something as simple as the *idea* of a + "plus"   
   or - "minus" "charge" - but that applies ONLY to the Electron Theory, or at   
   least *used* to, which itself depends on the Atomic Theory.   
   And since the term "charge", which used to be applied only to the Atomic   
   Theory's concept of "electrons", is now used to apply to other things,   
   namely magnetism, gravity, and even mass, it's obvious that there's a LOT   
   More to the "big picture", which is Infinite....which is why I've Always   
   *believed* in the  Steady State Theory myself.   
      
   > Yeah, now that you mention it, I know a lot of people like that :-)   
      
   Yep, everyone gets "PMS", and I've found that it's usually men who get it   
   the worst ;)

   That part is well known but the issue is with SAVAGES Lying to the effect   
   that they're 'civilized' even though history Conclusively and Clearly Proves   
   that they're Not. Like Practically Everything else about them, they're   
   Phonies - they *Pretend* constantly, and when they *claim* they're   
   'civilized', they Always use *Ancient* savages as their 'bad' example -   
   because they're Modern Savages, the  Very Worst kind!!!

   No, it wasn't like that, but even though I'd established a Proven track   
   record, it made no difference - they Refused to trust me even though I'd   
   provided a Proven, Positive basis for doing so.

   Plain, simple Disgusting Immaturity.

   That's pretty much what it takes, and I was in no position to do that at the   
   time.

   If all is going well, it should be a pleasure to show up and play the gig,   
   Not stressful.

   Foul-mouths are Immature. They swear because they're Not in control and   
   Resort to it out of Lack of Discipline rather than a more intelligent and   
   Mature response.

   I'm like that all the time, and I don't care to go to bars, even to play,   
   because of the Foul-Mouthed, Boozed-up Idiots.

   I've already tried it with open mic events, and have found that I don't like   
   it - TOO LONELY!   
   Music is for sharing, and that means with other musicians, not only the   
   audience...and just a piano and mic...play and sing, no bass, no drums, no   
   guitar...LONELY! That's what I already do at home, and that's Too Lonely   
   too!

   Of course. It never does, or else they'd FIX that Problem!

   Yeah, I noticed that effect too, which is why I'd at least like the gigs to   
   be at better venues ;)

   It's just slightly over 50 percent for women, otherwise, it's pretty   
   even...certainly not uneven enough for that to be a problem ;)   
      
   > Go find another one. "   
      
   Oh, just like that?   
      
   The ratio may be very close to 50/50 but each and every one is an   
   Individual, totally Unique unto him or herself!   
   And what if that Special person is Extra Special? Then what? I'm always   
   saying that Soulmates don't grow on trees!!!

   The problem wasn't the divorce issue, it was the marriage issue!   
   Marriage isn't only NOT for everyone, it's NOT FOR MOST!

   I'd be offended, to say the least, and tell them that we don't play for the   
   government! ;)
