I thought Larry Bird said that the PACERS were supporting Artest. (Also thought he was in the top 12)

That brings up a good question - Who are the whimps in the MBA?

When did players start laying down on the floor and tables, instead of sitting in their chair? When I saw the video clip, I was wondering why Artest was laying down on the table? Was he hurt? Was a doctor tending to him? Maybe the commissioner should have some rules on laying around too.

I don't know, was Spreewell suspended for 73 games after his choking incident? If so, then I would agree the 73 games for Artest is about right. As for the other Pacers? I couldn't figure out why O'Neal and Jackson were jumping into the fans and throwing punches.

I didn't see any ass-whooping? Some wild punches. Course, he probably hit the wrong guy too. I'm not sure why Artest hit the second guy. Maybe some words were exchanged? I'm sure if this goes to court, Artest will plead that he went mental after he was shoved by Ben Wallace. Let's see, when movie stars hit people (paparazi? I can't really spell) do they get away with it? Usually in the court system, what happens? What happens in the court system when a music star shoots someone? Now you think the court system is going to do something with a basketball player? What happened with Kobe?

How much jail time do you want for a couple of punches? Gee, lets lock everybody up. Let's sue everybody. The courts and jails are pretty full. I'm not saying he does NO time on suspension. But there have been WORST fights in MBA history. Broken jaws.... Some real hard hitting. Ben Wallace shoved Artest in the neck. Ben didn't take a swing at Artest. Usually, a swing is considered worst than a shove. 5 games???? for a shove. Like I said, he didn't BITE. Artest threw some wild punches. WILD, he didn't break a jaw or cause serious injury. IMO Where's the blood? Just like I don't think it's equal for a drink to cause a fist in the face. Artest should have throw gatorade at the fans. He was wrong to jump into the crowd. We're only talking about it beacuse it's entertainment. Sports is entertainment.

I think the sellers are increasing (people are passing away and others are getting rid of their LP collections) and the buyers (the older buyers are passing away and younger folks are mainly buying CDs) are decreasing.

Yeah, usually you find some of these Keynote CDs for about $5-8.

I thought about the suspensions and game of basketball. This is entertainment. I really don't want to see Artest out for the season and mess-up the Pacer team because some fans got him excited. I think he should be FINED millions, but let him play. Supposedly, he'll lose about 5 million, since he won't play the rest of the season. Why not FINE him 4 million and let him play. We still want to be entertained. Play basketball. It was only a small fight. It's not like Tyson, where he bit someone's ear. Same with the O'Neal and Jackson suspensions. Just FINE them heavily. They will get the message. 30 games and 25 games??? Way too many IMO. Why wreck the entire PACER team. The fans from Detroit will love the fact that they were able to mess-up the entire PACER team. How does this help the sport? Key player don't play - so who wants to watch? This is just entertainment. It's not the OLYMPICS, where honor and pride are at stake. It's a tough sport. We watch, because the players are tough. If a movie star gets in trouble, does the industry ban him?

How many minutes are on disc #5? I see it priced at $43.75 at vh1.com (free shipping) taxes apply.

With all due respect, if someone has never been to a Wal-Mart.... And Wal-Mart is one of the biggest retailers in the USA. That might be like someone who doesn't have a computer talking about Microsoft.

Well, let's see, is the cup half full or half empty?

If you can't make up your mind, bid on the ebay set. It'll probably sell for less than the retail price.

Boy, I'll bet those folks are making at least 75 cents a day. Well, maybe that's a little high. I wonder about the wages in Egypt, too. The whole picture stinks. So you want them to lose their job too?

Some of my accounts offer all CDs (single) for $5.99 (free shipping for 5 or more CDs). If you buy a box set (like the DOORS studio) that has 5 or more CDs, there is no shipping charges. Some box sets are priced below $5.99/CD. Like the Doors Studio (7-CD) set is priced at $39.99. So you can get it delivered for $39.99 plus tax. (no shipping charges) You can get the complete Simon & Garfunkel studio (5CD) set for $18.xx plus tax.

25% off used CDs - I don't blame you.

The seller reduced the price.

An 'eye' for an 'eye'

I think that already happened.

Oh yeah, 40-22. Poor, poor, Patriots.

I ordered this set from Mosaic in late October and it seems to have all the replacements. (since we're keeping an eye on production controll ) Numbered in the 700's

For those of you interesting in packaging - Just received the Joni Mitchell THE BEGGINNING OF SURVIVAL and it came in a paper digi-pack. (Same as at the brick & motar stores) Also, there were NO BMG label markings on the cover.
