Re: today, the moment of truth



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"....

Regards, Paul
