    These posts just now reminded me of a conservation I was a part of while broke down (or doing a 34) can't remember. I know that conversation went on for 4 hours. It got started by these words. What is your opinion of what happens when an Irresistible Force meets an Immovable Object? This tree falling part was discussed in great detail as well. Don't tell me that we truckers can't have some in depth discussions!

    Sasquatch Chronicles and the Confessionals pod casts when it is bed time. Driving, Rush, Breitbart and occasionally Hannity and Levin. And WJR in the mornings out of Detroit, best morning show and Frank Beckmann is the bomb from 9 to 12... Even when I was living in Montana I had WJR on... One of the best radio stations in the country, and I have been living out of a bag since the day after I graduated High School and took off for Vegas. I have heard my fair share of AM radio, and I miss A rt B e l l. ;-)

    Rap ain't music!!!
    Its nothing but fast trash talking with some of the words rhyming.

    A bunch of no talent hacks that couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

    The tree falling question at the end of the day is utterly unanswerable. Humanities greatest minds to date had quite a bit of respect for that question. John Locke, one of America's most respected philosophers didn't even try, he seemed to dance around it.

    It takes a rare consciousness to appreciate stuff like that. Those that don't, I don't really blame them. Anything, any basic truth can be argued into obscurity. At the end of the day nothing is certain. But nature created us to trust our senses, obviously, so I left it at that. I'll just live the way I was created to live... trusting sensory input. So, yeah, in my opinion, a tree falling that is unheard still makes a noise.. because nature seems to want us to think that way.

    Although... if it's not heard its technically not a sound, it's just a vibration. Sounds are heard. By definition.. a vibration that is not heard is not a sound. :p

    But then you get into linguistic arguments about what sound means and if we are technically thinking about its definition correctly... again back to a person seeing a color differently but not realizing it because there is no way to describe a color...

    It gets.. complex in a hurry.

    Well a tree that falls will make a sound. People sometime confuse sounds and hearing. That is as deep as I care to go in that one.

    In its definition it says a vibration that is heard by a person's ear. So if it's not heard, it does not fit the definition. It is something else. A vibration that flies off into lonely oblivion unacknowledged, unprocessed. Unloved. :(

    I grew up with AM and Short Wave... It was so cool to listen to radio stations around the world. And of course this was long before the internet... Those were good days, I miss them.
