man I love this group!!!
this is the only one where a joke about napster discussions can result in a
death-penalty tangent....
how about we wrap this up in a tight little blanket and say that there is
good and bad in everything and leave it at that. Chocolate is good but it
can make you fat. Money is good but it can make you greedy.
Drugs are bad for you but feel really good. The only thing I can think of
off the top of my head that doesn't have any negatives is eating to many
vegetables...(well asparagus can make a mighty stink 8^)
I agree with Jeff on the VHS point...it didn't kill movie sales. MP3 and
napster won't "kill" album sales, The death penalty will not lower the crime
rate, religion is not hurting the porn industry, and as far as politics is
concerned...lets please not get into that....
so whats everyones opinion on "lipswitch"................8^)
