I match you and raise you one, Martin. I am deeply troubled about what Bush and his cohorts are doing to the freedom I love here in the still pretty good-old U.S.A. But, I am thankful that I can protest (in a free speach zone?... irony) in this country without getting my hands chopped off. I love most of the people in this country like Bobert does. I love the beauty of America, and the diversity, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Now, MG, here's the challenge. Let's see you say something positive about anything other than bluegrass and Bush. And of course, yourself.
