During a press conference this morning about last night’s mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean was reported to have said (sic), “We have to do something about hate.” Well, we’ve tried legislation to curb, prevent, and outlaw hate related crimes. How’s that working out? It has only made people scared and paranoid that they may be “hating” another person by offending them simply because they hold a different or opposing opinion.
A Visit to Double Decker Records in Allentown PA: A Treasure Hunt for Vinyl Collectors
So I visited Double Decker Records in Allentown today for the first time. For me, it’s a two hour and forty minute round trip to get there, but “somewhat” worth the time. I liked the place, and bought some vinyl and cassettes. Some observations then from my visit.
First, the staff that I spoke to (one guy) was friendly. Otherwise, nobody took the time to greet me, including the owner, who seemed like a fast-talking flim-flam salesman. I observed him in a quite impatient conversation with a customer about something related to cell phones or such.
