Guest Strick sez:

    Lynchings? Vigilantes? The primary method of captial punishment
    in the United States and most of Europe for many, many years was
    hanging. Wasn't the last person executed in England in the 60s
    hung? If the song's mentions rope and villians, that's the
    logical conclusion.

Guess you didn't read the lyrics. Keith wasn't hankering for the
good ol' days of trials.

    If you want to complain about the song being pro captial
    punishment, that would make sense. Who ever thinks this is
    about lynching just has a vivid fantasy life . . .

Translated from foamerese into English:
    "a vivid fantasy life" (n): Takes time to read the lyrics.

                                           . . . or a hardon
    for Toby Keith (an ugly image). . . .

An ugly image for you, perhaps. Don't look now but your
other prejudices are showing. But FWIW, I don't have any kind
of "hardon" for Keith.

    . . .Two and two do not make five, Mr. Langsetmo. You have
    no credible evidence for your position; . . .

LOL. Certainly more than you've brought to the table here.
I'm beginning to wonder why there's such a string of people
going out of their way to jump to Keith's defence here. . . .

    . . . you try to prove your case with facts that are
    undoubtably true . . .

Horrors!

    . . . but for which you fail to estabish any connection to
    the issue. . . .

I pointed out in a prior post that Keith either doesn't
know the history of "all the rope in Texas", or he simply
ignores it. I'm willing to conisider him an idiot (but I'd
note that idiots are by no means immune from prejudice; quite
the contrary). Fair nuff?

    . . . You've just made up your mind to arrive at the worst
    possible conclusion, that's all.

See above.
