Being parents of teenagers themselves, I think the band
members might decide that while their work gave birth
to the list, and they have a vested interest in seeing
how it develops, the choices we make as individuals -
what to support, agree with, act on, rage against, etc.
- is at some point beyond their control and
responsibility.

BTW, regarding the recent textual intercourse between
Matt and Todd: a heated political/philosophical debate
resolved like civilized men - thanks to Matt for
speaking up and to the Wulfman for the interesting
links.

ANd to think the whole thing got fired up over a
misquote of George Castanza! NOw THAT'S the essence of
chaos.

cheers all,

bruce
