Actual lyrics:
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS
Sharif don't like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettle drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sherif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as Sharif was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as Sharif was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

Sharif don't like it
Rock the casbah
(He thinks it's not kosher)
Rock the casbah
Sharif don't like it
Rock the Casbah
(Fundamentally he can't take it.)
Rock the Casbah
Sharif don't like it
Rock the Casbah
(You know he really hates it.)
Rock the Casbah

"An analogy would be that you and I decide to do something together, such as pick fruit from a tall tree, in which my participation is necessary for your safety, let us say I am holding the rope you are hanging from. I have the right not to get involved, or to back out while we are getting the ropes ready, etc, but once I am holding you 50ft of the ground with a rope your moral relevance overrides my freedom to abandon you. You do not have a right to have me hold the rope, but I do not have the right to let go either."

You are missing a very, very subtle concept which is critical to the outcome of your example. In this situation, the two people made a social contract: that one would pick an apple while the other held a rope. To violate this contract is to commit fraud. Verbal contracts of this nature are made on a daily basis. When you walk into a fast food restaurant you pay them money on the terms that they will deliver you food shortly. If they took your money, but provided you with no product, they would be committing fraud or theft. The same is true of this example in which one agrees to pick an apple whilst the other agrees to hold a safety rope.

Thus, if you follow my viewpoint, the apple picker has the right to be supported by the rope, and the rope holder has a moral/legal obligation to hold the rope--precisely because both have entered into this voluntary, social contract.

If you follow your viewpoint, the outcome is inconsistent: the rope holder is obligated to hold the rope, but at the same time, the apple picker has no right to be supported by the rope.

It was an interesting example, and really took a very subtle nuance to logically work through.

Suicidal jumper my ass! That guy is a murder suspect. I remember seeing/reading it about it last year. He barricaded himself in a hospital room after evading the police and perched on the window. That's when the police decided to ask the fire department use the cherry-picker and the water gun to blast him to the air cushion. I will look around see if I can find the article.

Who writes this shit???? Oh yeah....code monkey, nose-picker cheeto-eatin', no life-havin', pasty sun-starved mothrfckrs do.......AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Please tell me where I said the Taliban were a bunch of peaceful daisy pickers? Please quote me. I hate the Taliban. They're ignorant fundies.
But if you truly believe that the US is in Afghanistan becuase of 911 then you are a retard. If that were the case then the US definitely had prior knowledge because they were ready to invade before sept 11.

Thank you, you lovely bastards, (Kronos's verbiage, not mine). I am, in fact, a rock'n'roller who grew tired of starving, a converted finger-picker and hopeless fish-head who dreams, at least every other night, of casting a dry fly to a brown trout the size of my leg, and a political conservative, (contrary to the drift of the Sift), but one who, instead of thinking he's always right, knows he's always right. There's an important difference there. So, when I do comment, don't try to refute it, unless you're my wife. In her eyes, I have only two faults, everything I say and everything I do.

So, I'll keep posting my lovely acoustic guitar videos, so I can continue to fill my P-queue. I'll continue to rain realism on your idealistic world views. And, I'll........Yes honey, I'll get off the computer now so you can play solitaire. I'll be back. Beware.

Nit pickers, both of you (though I can't account for my bad spelling)

Finger-pickers rule.

Like I said, finger pickers rule. I've seen Doc at least 10 or 15 times. I went to school in Boone. He lives in Deep Gap and he used to come over and get guitar strings and stuff from Dixie Music now and then. A national treasure he is.

Thanks
