wow - I go off an celebrate St Patrick's Day, and I miss out on all this fun! I don't know where to begin ...

Yeah Rick, maybe it's a tempest in a teacup. I'm already over it. Truth is I like the Chick's music - not a fan, but appreciate their work and their style - I don't suppose this'll make much difference to me down the road.

michaelr - I never talked about the war with Brian, but I don;t see this as an idealogical issue. I believe, as most Americans do, that we can wait for this war to come to us, or take care of it now. That is not an idealogical point-of-view.

anyway - lots of other comments here, but I'm not bothered about the subject anymore.
