I don't give a fuck,
and I certainly don't give a fuck
about anybody who does give a fuck.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
Why not have TWO threads on a subject that required none?

I worked in Audio/Video Presentation Services for several years. I've set up many events just like that one, and even ran the Prompter Software, so I am just basically speaking from experience. Trust me, if you saw all the power cables, and Mic cables, lighting cables, speaker cables, stand legs, uplighting and stuff on stage, it's a miracle that anyone doesn't get hurt walking around on stages. Of course all the cables get taped down with floor tape, but sandbags get thrown around, and things are moved around by the customer after we installed them on stage. I've seen many incidents of falls on stage. I've even tripped over stuff myself.
I am also a Certified Rigging Engineer, so safety is kinda' my thang!

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Possibly an apocryphal story, but Darius wrote a letter to Alexander the Great before an important battle in which Darius called Alexander "a mere boy."
Alexander replied, "You have insured that you will be a loser. If you win the battle, it will be said that you beat a mere boy...but if I win, it will be said that Darius was beaten by a mere boy."
So...MAGA world continues to call Joe Biden an incompetent, much too old, dementia patient...and Joe Biden keeps handing MAGA world its ass.
You people would do better extolling Joe Biden, so that when he next kicks your asses...it will seem you were up against a formidable opponent.
He will kick your asses...and I am sure it is okay with him if it were recorded by history that MAGA suckers got beat by an old, dementia ridden, incompetent.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
