What worries me the most (looking at this from outside the US), is that some guy is called a TRAITOR for voicing his opinion.
That is not only a strong word, it reminds me of George Orwell and brainwashing and stuff…

Well, do you know if he has seen the film? But you're right I don't know much about him. Rock artist speaking again'st politcal figures......that's pretty typical.

Yes, but any insult from a right wing dumbass is an inherint compliment when you think about it, because it means you don't have something in common with them, and that's a good thing.
Well, I cant sit here and talk to you or argue with you about Maynard because you evidently havent heard any of Tool's music, if you did youd understand what all of us are talking about. I would strongly suggest you look into that before coming up with comments about him.
Maynard has a mind of his own, and his grotesque but very artistic videos and clever metaphoric lyrics prove this.

WindDancer> "Freedom of speech!" is a line abused so much by right-wing freaks, claiming it their GOD-given right to make racists, sexist and other outdated remarks about other people.
You miss my point. Calling someone "A traitor" is a very strong accusation. Why not say "I disagree with your remarks, because so and so…?"
BF> Oh, good you're around! You always make me laugh… Thanks.

No problem , glad to see you're still posting here, making your great points as usual, I was afraid you'd leave us for good after leaving the moderating team, as so many people do. I'm glad I was wrong.
BF> Nahh! I'm just so busy these days with work I felt I was letting the Matrix Forum down... Now I can browse this place when I do HAVE time

Thanks and likewise... As long as we don't discuss Matrix we seem to be in perfect agreement.
Carry on
