And if you do, great. Lets work towards fixing the mass incarceration problem in our country. That way, many more people can be given the same second chance that allowed Patton to attain a material wealth that vastly surpasses the overwhelming majority of humans on the planet.

I completely agree though, the metre/rhythm plays a huge part in a poet or rapper's flow and you don't get the full story without incorporating it. The issue is that I haven't found a way to programmatically pull the metre from a song, and rapper's don't generally keep track of their metre, let alone put it online in a machine readable format (though I'm sure you could find ones for hugely popular songs like 'Lose Yourself' online!).

I am interested in figuring this out though, and have been throwing around ideas for people to simply generate metre for songs by having a tool that simply allows users to match words to times in a song. Though I'm not sure how scalable that is, or how to create such a tool that is drastically simple and fast to use, because otherwise it defeats the point. My hope is that there'd be a way to algorithmically parse the audio and look for inflection points in a song for where words might lie but I've done no research towards that end. digression: This kinda tech would probably be useful for generating 'sing-a-longs'

A utilty for finding and exploring internal rhyme schemes in poems and songs. I made this in order to better show people just how complex a rap artist's rhyme combinations can get. This was created with CMU's pronunction dictionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMU_Pronouncing_Dictionary)

The screen shot shows a subset of the rhyme combos found in the Eminem song 'Lose Yourself'. You can view my work in progress online at http://reasonedrhymer.com (Click on a combo or word to filter the results)

What I wanna do eventually: - Permalinks to analysis for specific songs (and which current combo's are being viewed in that song) - Speed up the core algorithm - Allow people to add new words to the pronunctiation dictionary - Move away from the barebones bootstrappy look - Explain the process visibly on the site

I think the idea of infinitely nested lists are useful for many things. The tree structure is quite powerful.

You can link the same post as a reply to multiple items. This allows for complete flexibility. Posts that are relevant to more than one section can live in each of those places

I agree that there are many problems that are cultural and psychological, however technology can be part of the solution.

The nested threads idea is pretty neat, I've been working on something similar and it's also very alpha. (The site doesn't even have a real domain). Check it out here: http://ec2-50-16-106-77.compute-1.amazonaws.com/0

I had to highlight the text and drag downwards in order to see the content. But it was annoying having to do this for every slide with a lot of content.

Otherwise, these libraries seem really useful. Thanks for this.
