However, that doesn't prevent anyone from spouting their *opinion*.<BR/><BR/>Here is one of my all-time fave quotes:<BR/><BR/>"Opinion, whether well or ill founded, is the governing principle of human affairs"DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388181995761411616.post-72232712212450377252009-04-02T23:11:00.000-07:002009-04-02T23:11:00.000-07:00Ahh, here's one of the cons of Web 2.0: the inevit...Ahh, here's one of the cons of Web 2.0: the inevitable spill of "anonymous" negative conversation into the comment section of any blog, YouTube video, or social networking site. It's a shame that it ended up on a great video of yours. It's going to happen regardless of the positive messages sent out, but you'd think that people would be more open-minded and respectful when tagging a public page with feedback. It's like virtual graffiti.<BR/><BR/>Music obviously doesn't directly influence (or end) war, but can't politically-charged lyrics play a role in shifting a culture's ideologies just as much as a great novel, painting, or a civically engaging speech? More often than not, it produces Che Guevara t-shirts and passionate yet uninformed blog rants, but I'd like to think that they can expose flaws or create awareness. (Or, just give us something to dance to!)<BR/><BR/>Tom G.Tom Gearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283584624224998381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388181995761411616.post-88323025842720291752009-04-02T23:10:00.000-07:002009-04-02T23:10:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tom Gearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283584624224998381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388181995761411616.post-23840679378885089482009-04-02T21:40:00.000-07:002009-04-02T21:40:00.000-07:00and yes this is nicole again and "dude where's my ...and yes this is nicole again and "dude where's my ability to spell?"
