I have some questions for everybody. Just kind of a quandary that got me thinking, because it has happened more than once. And this is not to be cynical or offensive in any way.
Why is America always doing the work for other countries when they have natural disasters??? The donations, the cleanup, the housing people from other countries who don't homes any more. Why don't other countries pitch in? Do they always expect us to do it? Are we always guilted into doing it because nobody else will????
And for the people in other countries. What do you think about this situation??? Do you think your country should do more or do you think they do enough, or do you think they shouldn't have to?
Let me know what your opinion is. I'm kinda curious. I know it sort of a heavy thought for a light and happy Friday, but this wasn't meant to turn into a debate. I could name at least three debates we've had within the last year. Everybody knows how tense they get. One thing is said and BOOM! Everybody's up in arms. But, if you guys want to debate, that's fine. Because debates are pretty fun.
P.S. It's probably the best Friday in months. It's supposed to reach up to 70 degrees here in NJ. Everybody in NYC knows what I'm talking about

Hi joe
It bothers me not being able to enjoy the music and your music.
I'm sick of schizophrenia
I overcome
And I hope to meet you someday, when you return to enjoy the music and composing my music.
Greetings from Spain
Alfredo

Oxley- Why indeed. Although it's not limited to disaster cleanup; the last two wars are a shining example. I know we've had help from other countries, but clearly we have taken the brunt of it. There are other countries helping with the situation in Japan as well, but I see what you're saying. America has to be "big brother" and spend the most even though we are beyond broke.
**I think it just means all of the other countries are smarter than we are...

Anyway, in guitar news, I found a used JS100 on craigslist for $300 yesterday. The owner e-mailed me back this morning and it is still available; I'm trying to set up a time to go look at it. I may try to bring him down on the price, even though he's come down from $350 already, because he bought it in 1999.
[link url="http://boise.craigslist.org/msg/2266694927.html"]Here]/link] are a couple of pics and the description from the original post. He told me that it has spent most of its life in the hardshell case. He also said that it has been professionally set up to Joe's specs, but haven't gotten clarification on what exactly that is yet. I'm assuming it's the string height adjustment, etc..
It has been posted since Tuesday, and I'm honestly surprised someone hasn't bought it up yet.... hmmm

Oxley-
If USA didn't help out Saudi Arabia?? that is in charge oils for our gasoline for our country? we be without gas for auto in our country.
As for helping out in natural disasters? we don't have much choices because we are using other country goods and trades for our country, hoping this clears up on why our USA help out.

Got Bonamassa's new album, Dust Bowl, in the mail yesterday... Giving it a listen right now. He says in the liner that this is the best album he's put out. I'm only halfway through it, but I'm impressed. I think my expectations were pretty low after I heard the title track a couple weeks ago; it is my least favorite so far, but "Black Lung Heartache" is on its 5th or 6th run-through right now. Can't get enough of that one! Lots of nice guitar work so far..
If you haven't ordered this one yet, I recommend that you do so!
I still need to pick up a copy of Sammy's "Red"....

*EDIT Slan- I said the exact opposite of that in my post..
And I don't know why anyone would say radiation is good for you. Why do you think they put a lead apron over part of your body when you have an x-ray taken; and the technician stands behind a lead wall before they hit the button. People that work around radiation are technically supposed to wear small dosimeters that measure the amount of radiation they are exposed to on a daily basis. There is an annual and a lifetime limit. At least in the U.S.

Has anyone aside from Tracie and myself read Red (ha!)?
oxley11 - The US is the third largest country in the world based on population, and when you combine that with something like GDP it's well above the two other larger countries (China and Japan).
The US is by no means the only country to donate money to Japan (or Haiti or Chile or wherever), but its total will almost always be the highest because of population/GDP.
While I'm talking about Japan, here are two links that people here might find helpful:
Nuclear Energy Institute
Brave New Climate
Contrary to what you're reading/seeing/hearing in the mainstream press, no, the world isn't ending.

Turbo..my bad, sorry man
Austin:Good post.thx just to reiterate from Sun night
Japan's nuclear safety agency has said there is "no possibility" of a Chernobyl-style disaster at the Fukushima 1 plant, local media quotes national strategy minister Koichiro Genba as saying....
And they expect people to believe them now? dont think so
