I think it's been a few more than 3 or 4 who have stood up for the U.S.'s current choice - but only 3 or 4 have perhaps kept the dialog going! > but for me...i know that like 90% of all americans stand behind the > government's choices today and this list is the anomoly. we are that way on > this list because of the music. but music is only one part of life. flesh > and blood is another. I'm not sure how you mean this - that the list is an anomaly because it is a music list and most people would rather discuss the music, or that the music somehow indicates a certain bent toward favoring one position over another? I hope you don't think that only people of a certain ideology listens to or appreciates certain music. I am on another music list where awhile back the dominant posters were always maintaining that no one who wasn't from the left could possibly ever be on that list or appreciate that music. One or two people would pop up to protest this assumption and be shot down. Finally an anonymous poll was set up for people to indicate their political persuasions. The results were 40% Democrat, 40% Republican and 20% Libertarian, Independent and Other. Interesting how the results pretty much reflected the overall U.S. demographics. Kakki
