10,000 BC Did caveman existed during the dinosaour era?
Ugh 10,000 BC. Great computer graphics. Lousy history. Mammoths are known to have lived until 4,000 years ago. However they were dwarfs on Wagnel Island up by the Arctic Circle. They wouldn't have been used to build anything. Dinosaurs died out 65,000,000 years ago. Modern humans appeared some 200,000 years ago. Get over it. The creationist claim that (pause for spooky music) "Humans and dinosaur tracks were found together" is stuff best used to encourage the crops. In fact a creationist site lists this claim as "Arguments that should be avoided" Reality is the "tracks" are those of dinosaurs and "most creationists have largely abandoned the "man track" claims regarding the Taylor Site and most other Paluxy sites" http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/t...

Did Native Americans once leave the elderly outside to die of exposure?
Two things struck me here. One, elderly are the most precious resource that a clan (tribe ) had. They new all the stories (history) held all the important medicine facts and new all the personnel family history of your family; if you lived a long life it was because you were smart enough to get to that age...you where blessed and revered...you were not even considered a burden but a valuable asset...and you gave and received love. The only reason that I see in taking a person who is sick or too weak to fend for themselves into the elements to die is if they had small pox and that was a genocidal tragedy. If this was true at some point it was for that time in the Natives world where if someone got ill they may infect the whole household...then I could see where tragedy and fear may have overcome a few households but as a practice...never have I heard of taking your strongest and most revered members of the community and treating them as if they were the unwanted burden when they have almost reached the end of their journey. Most people have great insight before they cross over and medicine people see this and consult with the sick and dieing to understand these insights to help the living.
One of Peaches favorite, yet least appreciated bands: JETHRO TULL?
I've been listening to more of their stuff of late. They are a great band, and definitely under-mentioned here, along with Steely Dan. I disagree that they were all *that* solid though, they had a few early clunkers like "A Passion Play" and "Minstrel in the Gallery". Imo, these albums were when they weren't inspired enough to pull off anything ambitious, so they refined it after and improved slightly with more lean, tuneful albums "Too Old...", "Heavy Horses" etc. Warchild was in between the two though, so they were definitely unpredictable. Kudos on mentioning "Broadsword and the Beast", a later gem by the band that rarely gets mentioned. After that they had some *really* bad albums for a while. I was surprised by how solid "Dot Com" from 1999 was though, and the "Jethro Tull Christmas Album" is neat, esp. given the band's anti-christian leanings in the past. I do like KC's post 80's albums, but I guess you could've guessed that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI6OcRvQ4... MQ2: 1. Aqualung 2. Thick As a Brick 3. Stand Up 4. Heavy Horses 5. Broadsword and the Beast (eh, maybe Benefit) MQ3: 1. My God 2. Living in the Past 3. Aqualung 4. Thick As a Brick 5. Skating Away On the Thin Ice of a New Day 6. Teacher 7. Broadsword 8. Look Into the Sun 9. Fat Man 10. Songs from the Wood MQ4: 1. King Crimson 2. Genesis 3. Gentle Giant 4. Yes 5. Camel (Not usually in the top 5 but I'm digging them atm) **Edit: The first two songs on "Minstrel" are good but after that it gets pretty weak, and I can't see "Baker St. Muse" as anything but a big inadequate train-wreck. Also, as for dino-prog after the mid-80's, there isn't much of course. Their heyday had long passed, but I still find "THRAK" (KC) and "The Ladder" (Yes) to be preferable to most 90's and 00's music.
