Does this mean don't listen to the Bee Gees either?

I'm sorry but I had to make a crack like this.  The song "Massachusetts" often sticks in my head.

Massachusetts is a neighboring state for me.  I incidentally go there fairly often.  I have a step-aunt who lives there as well.

I rebuke the activities of the Judge Rotenberg Center.

judge rottenburg center

Maybe I will talk about my trip, but that would get off the topic of this thread. I'll save it for when Ana bashes me. Mmm War.

I'm curious.  What are the activities of the JRC that you rebuke?  I'm unfamiliar with this place/organization.  Thanks.

Bash away ,it would not be something unexpected. Probably will be ignored. But if you need something to type about, go right ahead.

I would be more interested in Lizzy`s trip to Mass.

In due time Skyblue. Maybe I'll PM you the details. I rather stay on topic.

For Ana, I was just being sarcastic for when I said, "Mmm War. ". I hope I can purchase that sarcmark soon, then I can put it to good use.

Anyways I'll just sit back and enjoy the fight/show/thread/discussion.

Although I shouldn't I'm going to have to disagree with you Ana.  This may sound bias but I'm from Massachusetts and being from here I think I have abit more insight then you do.  Many people have opinions about this state but actually we pretty much rock!  Its a historical state with many sights to see: the Museum of Arts, the Science Museum (with the new Harry Potter exhibit), Fenway Park (One of the oldest baseball parks to this day), the Freedom Trail, etc.  Gay marriage is legal in this state which is great...I'm all for gay marriage!

Texas however...well all I have to say is George Bush! Thanks a lot Texas! hahaha

Hey,

George H.W. Bush was born right in Milton, Massachusetts; pretty much the municipality "next door" to where the Adamses were born.

Other things to cite about Massachusetts:  Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island and the Mohawk Trail are all great places to visit.

In terms of music; in addition to Boston (I'm assuming the rock group Boston is indeed from Boston); Massachusetts gave us Arthur Fiedler, Leonard Bernstein and Ray Conniff.  Arthur Fiedler and Leonard Bernstein were both born in Massachusetts.  Arthur Fiedler; conductor of the Boston Pops from 1929 to 1979; made the Boston Pops a legendary orchestra.  Leonard Bernstein's career included composing and being a conductor for the New York Philharmonic.  Only recently, did I learn Ray Conniff was from Attleboro, Massachusetts.  (Ray Conniff was ba conductor for a soft vocal orchestra; he produced many albums in the 1960's and 1970's of contemporary pop songs).

Back to Arthur Fiedler; I'm an avid Arthur Fiedler fan.  I have many Arthur Fiedler CDs and 8-tracks as well as cassettes and records.  I have some pretty rare Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops recordings as well.  I must not forget his Massachusetts buddy, Leroy Anderson.  If any of you are familiar with the Christmas song "Sleighride"; the music was composed by Leroy Anderson.  (Somebody else wrote the lyrics).  Leroy Anderson also composed instrumental tunes (1950's-ish) such as "The Syncopated Clock", "The Typewriter", and "Blue Tango".  Perhaps some of you are familiar with these tunes.  Leroy Anderson often worked closely with Arthur Fiedler including medley arrangements.

I beleive Norman Rockwell was also from Massachusetts.

Thanks Lizzy

You're thinking of the younger George Bush.  He was born in New Haven.  (I suspect the senior Bush was probably a Yale student at the time; I would have to confirm it.)  The elder George Bush; 41st. President of the United States; who is now 85 years old; was indeed born in Massachusetts.  Since his son became the 43rd. President, the elder Bush is commonly known as "George H.W. Bush" instead of simply "George Bush".  Speaking of Massachusetts, I remember in 1988 he was running agains the then Democratic Massachusetts Governor; Michael Dukakis.  I saw George (H.W.) Bush say his famous words "Read my lips.  No new taxes." during one of the 1988 debates with Dukakis.

Sorry!  I should have a bit clearer you misunderstood what I wrote...I was talking about George W Bush the former President!  Nothing against his dad...its George W. Bush who I worry about.  I have no problem with his father being from here...thats fine...his son on the other hand...yeah no thank you!

Judge Rotenburg Center. Claims to have a drug-free way of dealing with children but in reality the children are tortured (example, the children are shocked by electrodes).

That includes ONLINE businesses. I buy on eBay and if I see an online store fro Mass. I plan to write then an email explaining why I won't buy from them even if they have the lowest prices. The funding needs to be cut off! Someone should make a list.

Finally, I am getting noticed on this forum.

Anyways, I doubt a boycott with only two people would work.

State senators or congressmen would ignore this. They aren't for the Asperger's/Autistic rights movement. It's hard to get political people on our side. Especially when some of them are ignorant and unaware about what the issues are.

All we can do is educate and inform.
