Here is a 1998 essay from Greg Graffin on that very subject.

Here is the link to the article: http://badreligion.com/news/essays.php?id=8. He has since become a Ph.D and a biology instructor at UCLA.

To quote from the first two paragraphs:

Recently, I read an article in the paper that related the growing trend of "Digital Demonstrators" (Wall Street Journal, Dec. 3, 1998). It said that "virtual marches" could be an effective way to bring about social change. It stated that "activists can demonstrate with a mouse click...

This really pissed me off! First of all, it is a gross misrepresentation of what motivates social and political change. Ultimately, social change comes from an emotionally based behavior pattern. The reason people change in unison is because we are united by a similar emotional response. We are not moved to change the laws if we don't have an emotional experience that connects us to the political issue.

Get it right we punks are all anti-creationist anti-intelligent design. See Greg Graffin's Punk Manifesto:

BTW Greg the singer of Bad Religion recently completed a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology

Mirecki was beaten up by two rednecks.

FAST FOOD AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

I could go on about how electronic protest barely shows any interest in the topic at all, but Greg Graffin sums it up much better: http://www.badreligion.com/news/essays.php?id=8

To be fair, he's sort of a technophobe in general, but his point on this subject remains valid.

Yup. Bad Religion rocks IMHO. Sucky 120 char limit though limits me giving them a tagline.

Greg Gaffin of Bad Religion fame recently released his doctoral dissertation on evolution vs. creationism. It's not available online in it's entirety, but I ordered by paper copy last week.

Gaffin is an excellent writer even outside of the songs he's written for Bad Religion. If you'd like a peek check out some of the essays he's posted.

Sweet! The band Bad Religion have a song called "10 in 2010"! Although I don't think this is what they were talking about.

Bad Religion Rocks.

They are angry and loud, but the are also deep and thought provoking. I have got to say they (and Nirvana) are my two favorate bands in the world.

but they Suck live: I went to one of there concerts in TO (canada). it was total bullshit. everone at the concert looked like they were between 14-17, and the Greg Graffin looked like they had gotten Real old, Like Rolling Stones old, maybe he was hungover or something, but he had no energy on stage.

anyway they are an amazing band, (on CD at least) and you should check them out.

They have several sample songs on there website for download.

These are probably the best out of the ones that are posted:

Recipe For Hate

American Jesus

but the best albums IMHO
"Gray Race" & "Stranger Than Fiction" don't have any samples, sad really

any way They are amazing and you should check them out

End Ad

I love my computer you make me feel alright
every waking hour and every lonely night
I love my computer for all you give to me
predictable errors and no identity
and it's never been quite so easy
I've never been quite so happy
all I need to do is click on you
and we'll be joined in the most soul-less way
and we'll never ever ruin each other's day
cuz when I'm through I just click and you just go away
I love my computer you're always in the mood
I get turned on when I turn on you
I love my computer you never ask for more
you can be a princess or you can be my whore
and it's never been quite so easy
I've never been quite so happy
the world outside is so big but it's safe in my domain
because to you I'm just a number and a clever screen name
all I need to do is click on you
and we'll be together for eternity
and no one is ever gonna take my love
from me because I've got security,
her password and a key
