Rush – The Trees
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

What a band!!
Neil Peart in my book the best drummer in rock n roll and probably all genre. Neil also wrong much of the lyrics as well.
To see the type of person Neil Peart was take a listen to this interview:

Neil Peart in my book, the best drummer in Rock n’ Roll and probably all genres. Neil also wrote most of the the lyrics as well.
(not in the original post) I believe Neil led the “Burning for Buddy” tribute to Buddy Rich.

I was listening to a late-night sports talk show shortly after Mr. Peart’s death, and the host took an entire segment to talk about Neil Peart and his influence on the genre, and his influence on the host. This had zero to do with sports, or anything remotely related to them.
Such was the influence of Neil Peart.
Rush was a pretty good band, too. In truth, though, my favorite (favourite?) Geddy Lee turn was on “The Great White North” album.

It’s been some time since i suggested this to Bob, long enough (which is not very long at all anymore) for me to forget why, but i vaguely remember there was some current (at the time) political news. i think it was something about how governments enforce equity, which recalled the last line in the lyrics:
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
