People, I wrote everything I did in the first paragraph because at the end of the day I think the government does not have the right to tell you what you can put in your body; that the drug war has criminalized innocent people; and that its effect…

There are a few ways to look at the drug debate. On the one hand the current enforcement and laws are designed to punish the lowest rung of the drug retail market and have disproportionately placed minorites in jails with violent offenders. Because …

I'm a sixers fan, but i always liked the guy on the left.

On the strength, Linda Thompson Jenner's lyrics to Voices that Care, the celebrity benefit song for Operation Desert Storm. VOICES THAT CARE Warner Brothers (1991) Lonely fear lights up the sky, Can't help but wonder why You're so far away. …

This is a bit like asking your favorite sushi restaurant in Kenya, or best bartender in Saudi Arabia. But three words come to mind: Bachman, Turner Overdrive. honorary mention: and never: my definition of a whack ass rap group.

So, Led Zeppelin destroyed the US auto industry? but with a whole lotta love.

What drugs were the makers of the Trabant and Yugo on??? A) Zing! Nice one Sabadaba. Don't let the politburo get you down. B) In the interest of common reason, I accede to funky man's basic point that hard drug use was not the only caus…

I know it's crazy to think that the use of hard drugs by factory workers might result in shoddy production. Burden is on you funky man to explain how widespread drug use would not effect productivity. And Led Zep is perfect rock music.

With the exception of great music and cinema, the 70s were a disaster for America. This is the decade of massive social engineering like bussing, wage controls, price controls and all manner of public policy that exacerbates stagflation, or the ris…

Guzzo is the soulstrut MVP in my book. But just a note on labels. I consider myself a paleoliberal. I have no interest in cutting capital gains taxes, have no quarrel with activist judges if their activism is aimed at correcting social injustice or …

agreed on mcgriff's soul sugar, basically all his groove merchant is nice. Jimmy Smith's Sit on it, produced by eugene mcdaniels is quite good, it's on mercury. bluesmith is also good as is paid in full. For the earlier joints, check out the chicke…

No I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying that terrorism is a choice made by opposition groups fighting for a political goal. Palestinians for example in 1988 (at least the ones living under Israeli occupation) chose to make the first intifadah nonvio…

taking a break is different than running away. It's a time suck.

You are referring to Iraq, no? But here is the problem with this analogy. To start, most of the victims of terror in Iraq are Iraqi. Furthermore, a good chunk of them are fighting for the return of a family run tyranny that occupied Kurdish peoples…

why is it that civil rights organizations in America were hugely succesful following a nonviolent path? Indeed, I think the *threat* of a violent faction forming was what enabled the nonviolent progress to be made. For whites in power, it…

If this was a communications class, then the professor was probably referring not to the agenda or plan of the panthers, but rather their image in the rest of America--which was negative. A reason for this is because the panthers gave press confere…

Seriously. How the hell did this woman become the face of the opposition to the war? Having a picture like this in newspapers and on the evening news does not exactly portray a serious, grave opposition to the war. I mean shit, couldn't you…

I know they are few & far between on this board but they are out there. On my already infamous talk with my play-grandma yesterday we both realized we don't have too many Right wing friends and don't know what their current opinion is of Bush, …

That South African comparison is about as weak is Vitamin's "the insurgents are like the KKK in the Jim Crow American South" bullshit. Violent vigilantes who used to be in power targeting ethnic groups who are trying to vote. The comparison i…

4) Big Spliff, come on. When you wrote that people who disagree with you are no better than pro-Kremlin Soviets, you are yourself betraying a certain Leninism. You are essentially accusing your opponents of false consciousness. It is this logic, I…

3) Cindy Sheehan's crowd*, Medea Benjamin, Michael Moore etc.*, are among the slimiest frauds who oppose the war. There are many noble arguments for opposing the war and even for pulling out our troops. But Norm Solomon and Michael Moore are not …

A couple of observations. 1) J Paycheck and others are correct that this war was woefully planned from the beginning. And there is no point in blaming anyone except the president. And as much as I agree with the reasons for going to war, it's now …

Okay, I just listened to this. Vitamin, straight up: you and your friends are pieces of shit. Your callousness made me literally nauseous. I don't even have words for you. Does this mean we can't hang out and listen to Houston …

Guzzo, Thank you for piercing the sanctimony of the rest of this board with some much needed reason. People need to leave you alone. To the collective eracism seminar, Calm the fuck down. As I remember most of you urged me to post this. You…

That too, to a certain extent. But you have to listen to "Indian Sunset" off of Madman Across the Water. It's brilliant. The whole record really.

no way is this meant to belittle the legitimate grievances of Native Americans I guess it's hard to buy that, with you and your listeners laughing and giggling throughout the whole thing. Seriously, dude. I'll spare us all another look at Brian …
