Just because someone doesn't agree with your stance, that it is racially
inclined, does not conclude that the list is NOT politically enlightened.
It just means that the list doesn't agree. I agree that there is racism
involved in the drug war, but that doesn't conclude that the drug war is
racist.

For the record, I do not judge anyone for using drugs. If that is how they
wish to be recreational, then so be it. I do not use drugs, cause I didn't
see the point of focusing my time and energy on them.

Just like it was said before, if we all bought our music based on political
agendas, we would have a lousy if not, limited music selection. Enjoy the
music for what it is, if you don't agree with their message, don't buy it.

Only cause you are taking such a crazy stance on the whole issue of it being
racially inclined. There are many respectable people wanting to see
everyone being treated equal on this issue, black, white, asain, hispanic,
whatever. You can't let some of the supporters on the Drug War determine
it's entire agenda, that would be like saying, everyone ones opinion on what
IDM should sound like is examplified through Autechre's "Confield". We all
know that isn't true.
