His prolific career and work included conducting great orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic, teaching those who became great conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Michael Tilson Thomas, and John Williams, and composition ranging from classical symphonies to religious (Chichester Psalms) to Broadway (West Side Story) to jazz.Did you have the pleasure of watching/hearing Bernstein speak and/or perform, live or on TV? Do you have a favorite from among all of his great work? less

Fast forward to the US Congress today. Eunuchs that a man (the prez) can trust to be servile obedient docile. How did he do it? Does it matter?

In it he attributed the saying to CHILON of Sparta, one of the seven 6th Century BC philosophers and statesmen revered for their wisdom. So it's been around a very long time.Which would mean we could not speak truthfully of Hitler or others who did evil things.

I think those folks should move far away, change their names and prepare fake resumes. Unless they know of companies owned by folks who would welcome them with open arms. They probably do.

Both of whom are definite Democrats. There may be others too. He wanted Joe Lieberman to be his vice-president when he ran for the office of president but for some reason he was not allowed to have whom he wanted and so he got stuck with Sarah Palin. I don't know if he would have won with Joe Lieberman but Sarah was a definite albatross and sunk him. Joe Lieberman became a good friend of McCain's long ago. Lieberman used to be a Democrat. I don't know what his political affiliations are today. I wonder if there is any Republican who will reach across the aisle and work with a Democrat in any capacity ever again? I know when George W. Bush was prez he appointed Bill Clinton(DEM) and his dad, George H.W. Bush(GOP) to work together on various projects and thus Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush became very good friends. Politics aside. Political views... less

He declined by telling Human Resources (paraphrased), “You all have ignored my suggestions and legitimate grievances for my entire employment. Why should I begin to have any faith you care what I have to say now? If you truly care you would have listened to me a long time ago. I’m not wasting my time.”
