Hi everyone:

This is my first post...been a huge Oils fan for about 10 years now.  I've lurked on this list for a while but have never posted.  I've noticed the anti-Bush sentiment on this site, and while I appreciate everyone's right to his or her opinion, I feel compelled to defend my President (yes, the one I proudy voted for), unpopular as that might be.  

Todd wrote:  "gosh please except my sympathy bruce..... being a car salesman is one thing 
but a coke snorting, fund siphoning, draft dogging, dui driving, planet 
polluting, big business bribe taking, weasel faced car salesman should never 
be a president!!!! "

Let's see...
- I don't see how 'Coke snorting' and 'DUI driving' are even relevant, especially regarding the last President we have.  Last I heard, these were problems Bush dealt with over 20 years ago.  Todd, I suppose all mistakes you've made in your life have rendered you incompetent to perfrom your job, whatever that may be.

- 'Draft dogging' - I believe the word is 'dodging.' In any case, Bush volunteered his services to the Texas Air Guard during Vietnam war, but was never called overseas. I think you have Bush and the former President confused on this one.

- 'Fund siphoning' and 'big business bribe taking.'  Maybe I'm not watching or reading the same news sources as you, but as of today, I've not heard that proof has been found of either.

- 'Planet polluting' - I hope you're not referring to drilling in Alaska.  I suppose we should save the caribou and depend on foreign sources of oil.  Or maybe you're referring to that Kyoto treaty business again. Sorry if it just isn't what's best for America.

And lastly, 'weasel faced car salesman'?  Please....   

You know, I almost can't believe that this is my first post to this list, because really, Todd's remarks do not deserve a response.  However, in the spirit of debate and freedom of expression, I suppose such sentiments are legitimate, but is mere name calling (some of which if flat-out untruthful) the best way for us to submit our opinions?  I hope not.

This is getting long, so I'll stop.  Hopefully, when and if I post again, it will be on the topic of the Oils and their musics.

Matt
