If we agree Obama is doing a bad job.will that stop the leak?...No? You mean ranting and raving about it on a Rolling Stones message board will have no effect whatsoever on the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico?
Right on. Just as our ranting & raving about Macca, or Springsteen, or Peter Wolf has nothing
to do with the Stones as well. Or the contstant pummeling of Ron Wood, like anything we say
is ever going to change how he acts, or that what we say is even right? Or do other people care
about the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc? It's a message board, some people are passionate about everthing.
It's a very small world SCL, with lots of items impacting it. Do you think I enjoyed when I paid
good money to hear the Boss pontificate about Bush, when much of it was not true? Or that I
should vote for Obama? Shut Up & Sing is my mantra. I told Kris Kristopherson off one night
in an Austin club over his blabbering about Bush being wrong & had most in the club cheering me for it.
As long as there are discourse allowed over
world items, I see no reason to not talk about
events which effect all of us. Some of the posters
here will be financially impacted by what happens
in the Gulf, people are concerned.
Last I checked it's a free society.
So, if the admins want to limit this to
music only discussions, I would completely
understand & abide.
