Oh, get out. Its just a cd cover. Do they ban them? Like Sniff the Glove?


Of COURSE they ban them. Here's how it's done "No thank you, we have plenty of copies of that left to sell already".


Isn't it about the music though? I can respect the artwork (though I honestly don't like it for reasons that have more to do with my opinion of the actual situation at Abu Grab at the time of the pics than my opinion of the war in general. In short, except for the pure pop media propaganda effect, it has no legs....people will associate it with a private who was kicked out of the Army carrying the baby of a dirtbag-of-a-Sergeant, and their dirty mischief) on its own right, even linked to the music/band, as you obviously must, but in the end, for you, was it not about getting the music out for people to hear -- or was it the whole "scene? (i.e., the combination of the music, the attitude, the dress, the style, the controversy, etc...)"
...and I'll have you know I had to go back and correct every single the from the teh I typed. I must be semi-dyslexic or weak-fingered, or somethin'. :)

I have a sister-in-law who works for the feds and did her training at Quantico. She is totally brainwashed into believing that us "civilians" are totally clueless about the inner workings of our governement and she is somehow more enlightened then the general populous. In my opinion she has become narrrow minded as she is constantly spewing the "party rhetoric". If the feds, i.e. US military are good at one thing it is brainwashing their "troops" toward their way of thinking.

After reading your posts for some time now I am beginning to believe you may have been drinking the same kool-aid...

What a fantastic attitude for an employee of a government that is, ostensibly, "Of the people, by the people, for the people."

If she firmly believes that the government is that opaque is she doing anything to open it up to public scrutiny and understanding?

:shock: If that happened she may no longer feel superior to us lowly civillians.

"No no. The Truth would surely drive you mad. You are far better off leaving it to the professionals. Do not worry your pretty little head about it. Go shopping! That infuriates the terrorists. There there."

Once again, I am sorry you feel inferior. Maybe your sister knows what she's talking about? I don't know. Maybe not. But you obviously let it get to you. Next time you get together at the family get together try offering up informed arguments to counter her brainwashed rhetoric. If that doesn't work, try slapping her and yelling "DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!" over and over again. If nothing else it might help make you feel less inferior. If all else fails, join the "Feds" and change it from the inside.

Maybe I should have put "us lowly civillians" in quotations as I was only trying to paraphrase her perception. I happen to have a healthy ego, maybe too healthy some times... I do like your idea of slapping her and yelling "DEVIL GIRL! DEVIL GIRL!", no doubt a holiday to remember. As for joining the "Feds", I don't think I am cut out for that role as I "do not play well with others". In the past, I have found that I lose my patience with the group I am supposed to be working with when progress moves too slow especially if things move away from my vision (again the ego thing).

Actually sister-in-law, not FBI, my brother-in-law thinks she is hot, yes she does carry a gun. Thanks for reminding me about the gun, maybe it is not the best plan to call her DEVIL GIRL while slapping her.
