I've made a descision regarding the upcoming Dixie Chicks concert. I'm bringing a sign that says, "Shut up and sing!" should Natalie start up again. I don't want my enjoyment of their music sullied by her lameass liberal agenda.
I think celebrities, whether liberal or conservative, should shut the hell up unless they have done a LOT of homework on world politics and history. The great mass of sheeple in America take the opinions of celebrities WAY too seriously, while never bothering to do any research of their own.
Despite what some may think, I'm hardly a conservative, and I'm DEFINATELY not a republican. I just think that a lot of the utter bullshit being spewed by a lot of celebrities these days completely lacks any perspective whatsoever.

You're right, I don't have any basis to make that statement except some inferences made by articles highlighted by the document I offered you. Many links of which are NOT to what you might call 'subversive' publications, but some mainstream ones like the New Yorker or even USA Today. I prefer to be pessimistic and cynical in my choices of opinion rather than optimistic.
I don't feel it is a tragedy at all that we cannot change each other's minds. I wasn't in this debate to do that. I was in it to throw my ideas against yours and to see what came out of it, what was still standing. Look through my posts, I've changed. Haven't you? I'm here hoping to gain something from the exchange. Probably not that much but so what? We need variety in our political views. As long as neither represents too much of a majority then this is a good thing.
Anyhow, good game
