  1. Blue grass music is my favorite kind, but I would not want to have it played loudly sites away from me.   I guess someone is trying to share, but that is not a sensible way to do that.

    Hope ice cream was tasty.

    They are pushing to remove "The Eyes of Texas' song from University of Texas because the phrase 'the eyes of Texas are upon you' came from a UT leader, who heard 'the eyes of the South are upon you' from another leader... and that is racist.  Also, it's possible that the song 'the Eyes of Texas' was originally sung by a group of students in blackface. 

    While there's nothing that can be confirmed, I'm ok with changing the song.  In fact, I am in for drastically changing many of the traditional songs / chants out there to new ones.  

    We need to create a new culture in the USA, one that can be a new culture for all races, and is uniquely the culture of the USA, so that people coming here to live can be happy and proud of their new culture, and not want to bring along their old one, just because they are comfortable with it, and try to introduce the bad parts of that culture in the name of 'tradition'. 

     

    YES!

    They should look at popular fantasy / sci fi.  That is where the money is.  Dragonriders of Pern would make a great franchise for a more adult movie set.  The alternative lifestyle in the weyrs is a decent fit for today's crowd, anyway. 

    My favorite book series.  When the ability to make dragons look real on film started I said , Oh boy Pern!   But then I read that Anne McCafery was not in favor of her stories being put on film.  Think it had to do with being able to control the story line. Too many books I've enjoyed reading left a lot to be desired when put on film.   It would take long films to create most of her Pern books.

    But wouldn't it be wonderful to see all the people and dragons we've come to love.

    I'm re-reading my Pern books during this lockdown, very nice.

    Unless you stay on Disney property, how would they know if you are there within 14 days of entering the state?  And even then you could say you were at the Motel 6 for 14 days before arriving to the parks/resorts.

    I really doubt Disney is going to ask for proof of your travel itinerary and hotel receipts.

    I agree.  Don't see how WDW could know all that about guests.  Maybe will need to supply receipts from their stay?
