    RTFA. It's in Queensland, actually if you'd RTFB(blurb) it says Australia. But don't let that jump to your conclusions. And I never saw anything in the patriot act that would allow something like this to happen.

    has begun. But there's not much that we customers can do, is there. A boycott will be of no use unless its on a global scale. And then, we like our music; how can this music industry monopoly be broken; itunes is the right way out, but not substantial enough.

    You "hate everyone equally". What does your prattle about politics, your prissy self-censorship, failure to punctuate, and misuse of the simple phrase "I couldn't care less" matter, nihilist?

    imbecile: see Anonymous Coward

    Learn to parse a sentence, dolt. I allowed you the chance to dislike Clinton based on ethics, which is at least arguable, while trivially denying your charges of "imbecility". Are you really sticking to your asinine assertion that Clinton was stupid? I feel only contempt for your futile failures to frame this discussion in your own distorted terms. You'd have to say something meaningful to make me angry.

    Come meet me here in the streets of NYC, where we know that "I could care less" is a feeble attempt to sound even more smug than "I couldn't care less", while just sounding like a moron. Sarcasm requires an apparent contradiction between the remark and the condition remarked upon, while this clown's ability to care is beneath notice or contempt. Now that I've schooled you in irony, toddle along and use it on some other Anonymous Cowards - it'll at least keep you children from playing in the street.

    again....

    Like tell me, how the fuck do you plan on defending yerself against like say, the pure brute force tactics of a DEA raid, which in LA include tank like objects with battering rams, choppers, SWAT teams.. A whole host of firearms?

    Then there YOU are.. 'MeriKKan sitting on the front porch in a rocker with your double barrelled shotgun?

    mmmmmkay..

    We cant even get into the NON possibility of you taking out the national guard, etc..

    So what the fuck is it with you gun nuts, besides from the fact you're just that: Nuts?

    I mean, guns are cool, I guess.. I'm not into them, but to each his own.. But this I will defend myself against the greatest armed forces in the entire world thing simply has to go.

    It makes you look like a bunch of kooks.
