Actually, I don't hate Obama and I don't (and probably won't) hate Hillary in any special way. I hold no special hate for Trump, either. Instead, I hate the framework of politics. So in essence, I hate them all.Every president or presidential nominee brings with them a set of tradeoffs and compromises. So I'm prepared to hate, no matter who gets inside.
It COULD be that *hate* is a sort of security blanket for me, I'll have to examine that possibility....

Someone's doing something ... Rite.
When my cellist nephew entered the NEC, he was assigned to the fourth of four orchestras, which among other things met one night each week to sight read (!) through pieces like the Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphosis, which according to my dismayed nephew they would do effortlessly and flawlessly.
My nephew wisely transferred out of there and has decided against a career as a cellist.
I'm having a hard time deciding if you are disappointed by your nephew or think he made a wise choice in giving up the cello as a profession, and if you're upset about the process the NEC (New England Conservatory?) uses or think it's just an elite (in the positive sense) endeavor and he was wise in realizing it would be wasted time.
Is there something inherently archaic about sight reading?
I genuinely want to know. :)
