<< And exactly which part was exaggerated? You're probably not old enough to
remember it, but Reagan was a disastrous president <snip!>

Erm, "disastrous"...?!? Needless to say, Chris, there's a sizable body of
historians, politicians, intellectuals and everyday citizens who might--for
any number of reasons--take issue with your rather "zealous", shall we say,
one-word summation/assessment of Reagan's lingering impact on our country.

But you're right. I'm pretty much a leftist. I accept that. But I'm not
voting for Nader. This is important.

To you, perhaps; not to me. And certainly not so important that we--all
*1000* of us-- need to hear about it on an *IDM* list. I'm quite glad you're
impassioned. I'm quite glad you're not voting for Nader. I'm not terribly
excited you felt the need to spew on this list. Find the right forum to vent,
friend. This ain't it.

I just wanted all of you Intelligent Dance
Music folks to see that it's not unheard of for young people to actually
care and know about politics.
>>
Righty-o, Chief. And some of us young snots actually *do* both know and care
about politics, and have also taken considerable time to carefully exam
relevant issues--and we're still planning on voting for Bush!
<gasp!>

Go out and, um, vote for the intellegent one.

The, um, "intellegent" one, eh??

Likely the only registered Republican swaying (*conservatively*, of course,
with appropriately dour countenance) to Funkstorung at the Justice League in
SF two weeks ago,

*only* one on this list who thinks it tops _L'usine_?!?)
