I know it sucks when lists such as this get over politicised and none of us should broach these highly sensitive issues for fear that our little community might implode, but things will be said and i want to add my 2 cents. Firstly i'd like to say that being anti-war does not mean that you are anti-American. There are plenty of very intelligent left wing thinkers who are american, Noam Chomsky is a favourite of mine. People should not mix hatred for a regime (the bush regime) with the kind of xenophobic rhetoric that seems to have become synonymous the much of the anti war movement. They are completely separate issues and should be left that way. It is just as sad to see some uneducated redneck kid dying fighting for a jingoistic world power like AmeriKka as it is to see and uneducated kid slaughtered in a market place in Baghdad. Its all so senseless and sad and every life lost is too many at the hands of these profiteering criminals who push buttons and give orders from their chairs. I think it was summed up beautifully by a great writer Arundhati Roy a couple of days ago in the guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,927849,00.html Also i think that people might ease up on Stine a bit i believe her comments were human and not political. *********************************************** i am really digging the new white stripes album. I just got f#a# infinity by the mighty godspeed you black emperor on vinyl with the pressed penny and the silk screen drawings, it is lurvly. My only complaint about it is the train sounds are different to the cd and really difficult to listen to. I was wondering can anyone recommend any acid mothers temple &melting par........ records, i have new geocentric world, but i just bought the one on alien8 records and it is awful. Its just all of the freakout stuff with none of the chilled refrains. richard*end of the land sadness/ end of the world gladness +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
