I think Bush is a yahoo motherf*cker; that's my opinion, albeit a negative
one. Some weeks ago there were some posts about blues hack Eric Clapton
being a 'saint'; a positive opinion. What's wrong with freely expressing
negative feelings, as well as ideas? Our subjects are public figures,
which are fair game. This is cyberspace; all we are to one another (for
the most part) are brittle little sentences, so why not celebrate our God
given viciousness?

P.S. Don Rowe, I just returned from a Xena con, and Hudson Leick (Callisto)
RULED. I've seen many a diva in my time: Joni, Kiri Te Kanawa, Nico- and
Hudson blew them all off the map in terms of sheer attitude!
