Too bad. I have to listen to the right-wing crap of "it's ilk" night and day. I don't mind listening to Michael Moore one bit. Typical right-wing reaction, though. Their crap is spouted continously, but when an opposing opinion is stated, they cry, "oh, we don't want to hear this political stuff". Reminds me of the Nazi party's tactics. Faschist-like. "If you're not for us, you're against us", etc. Also, they're are many musicians who are using their art to voice their concerns and opinions. Yeah, I know, "only looper's topics on the board"....
