Silverman) To: email_address_removed Subject: Gotta get mine in before we all get kicked off the 'Jam! :) Message-ID: OK, I feel as though I should give something back, in grateful return for all the laughs I've gotten from this nationalism thread (if members of DT are reading, I hope you've learned your lesson about taking more than 1 month between new releases! :) ) About people coming to the US to study. . .the US has the best universities (not to say there aren't great schools elsewhere, of course). They simply have the most money and resources. The public schools, on the other hand, are a joke. It's the same as anywhere, you get what you put into them, and for too many people, education is just not a priority. In other countries, kids put way more time and effort into their own educations, and that's why they're better educated (for the most part). For those of us in the US who motivate ourselves to learn, there is as much opportunity for a good education as any other country. Unfortunately, people are not brought up to respect school and their parents do not instill them with the desire to learn. The best teachers all end up burning out from frustration. . .I've seen it happen too many times and it always makes me sad. And to those of you putting down memorizing state capitals. . .it's a badge of unity, like starting to applaud before the national anthem is quite finished. It's a US thang, you wouldn't understand. :) And do I think that the US is #1? I do. And I have a reason! (Besides DT, even though they did borrow a Canuck after a while. . .) Variety. Go from Miami to Honolulu to New York to Anchorage to Fargo to Houston etc. etc. etc., and you will see that there is no other country in the world that has so many different things to offer. There's a lifestyle for anybody here. But don't tell my wife, she'll beat on me. (She's from Osaka. :) ) Of course, this is also why our government has so many problems. . .they continually want more centralized power in Washington, and what works for someone who's never been outside the Beltway of DC just ain't right for someone on a farm in Nebraska! Some smaller countries have had success with some level of socialism, but it just won't cut it here. There are too many diverse ways of life. And finally, for those folks in Parts Unknown who are curious about the answers to whoever-it-was' trivia quiz (at least the questions I remember): Alaska is the largest state by area. Nixon is(was?) the 37th president. NBC is owned by RCA, which is owned by GE (unless it's changed recently). Ted Turner owns a bunch of cable stations(including CNN), and tries to get an NHL franchise in Atlanta. Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. (Capitol is the name of the building where Congress meets.) Elvis' house is Graceland and it's in Memphis, Tennessee. (smack!) (smack!) (smack!) OK, take it to email. . . DJ Kuul A PS Oh yeah, Capitol is also Iron Maiden's former label! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Apr 1997 04:06:03 GMT From: email_address_removed (Rick Terry) To: email_address_removed Subject: Drummer comments and bass abilities (WARNING - CONTAINS HUMOR!!)

It's an absolute shame that he died (car accident, BTW), but if you had to have an album as your memorial, this is the one. An absolutely great piece of work. I HIGHLY recommend it. I don't think it's available in the U.S., so any of you dumb U.S. jammers are gonna have to order it as an import. :) Do it - it rocks. The first >track "Against The Grain" and track-5,6 "Thunder And Rain" (dedicated to >Chris Oliva (Savatage)), track-7 "No Fate" are some kind of "Rock master >piece",don't you think that? I love Thunder and Rain, I just wish it was a little longer. Both pieces together are only about 6 1/2 minutes. It leaves me wanting more (Of course, with DT, I'm spoiled with longer songs :)) > The latest one titled "Something Burining" are fronted by Geoff >Thorpe,well he did it well, it's very hard to perform as the replacement of >Carl, but somethingmissing. Don't ya think that,too? Yeah. That's not the only lineup change, and the band's sound has undergone a major overhaul. Geoff Thorpe, who was the co-lead guitarist, is now the lead vocalist as well. He sings with a growly tone that can be a bit of a letdown for Carl Albert fans. The other guitarist (Mark McGee) and the bass player (Dave Starr??) also left and were replaced. If you get WOM and like it, Then you can get any of the 3 albums before that that Carl Albert sang on - Digital Dictator (yes, that's where I got my IRC handle from), Vicious Rumors, and Welcome To The Ball. Their first album, Soldiers Of The Night, had a different vocalist (maybe it was Charlie Dominici, who knows. :)), but featured Vinnie Moore on lead guitar. So any VM fans may want to check it out. OK, enough VR ranbling by me for one day.

Strange as it may seem, I agree with Lars. Don't get me wrong, our education system is great and is there for everyone who wants to take advantage of it. The biggest problem is that alot of those with the chance to grasp it won't do it. I saw too many kids back when I was in high school who were just counting the days till they were 16 so they could drop out. It's really sad, too. I actually liked going to school and kinda miss it. I think I'd have actually taken the chance to learn more than I did. In the sense of people bashing our education system, I really don't think it's fair. Not at my high school at least. It's the person's resposibility to learn, not the teacher's. The teacher can only do his/her best to motivate the student. It's real hard to motivate a close-minded student. Sometimes it can be impossible. I really don't think it's fair for anyone's education simply because of a few chance meeting with some negligent people. Unfortunately that's the additude alot of people are going to take regardless of the situation and this is going to turn into a huge international flame war like the FIX boot thread did. Let's look for another thread, this is just a fuse. Someone lit it and is just waiting for the jam to explode.
