MN:

It was when the "administration" decided to use the war on terrorists to 
attack environmental activists and drug users, it set me off. I'm not sorry; 
it's business of any intelligent person (and to be a Who fan implies 
intelligence). These guys are scum, bottom feeders. Nazi-boys. This move 
offends me to the core of my being, as it should any intelligent person.

I guess that's why our civil rights have been hijacked in the name of 
"national security." Oh, they talk a good game but the Micropublicans 
consistently engage laws which restrict freedom...not the other guys who 
rhyme with "bemocrats" as you say. Who's trying to outlaw abortion? Who's 
trying to force a certain religion into schools? Etc., and so on. 
And where do you think Pete Townshend would stand on this...on the side of 
oppression? Not bloody likely. Daltrey? No way! John Entwistle, maybe...I 
haven't seen any interviews to give me an idea. But as he's a working class 
hero, I'd guess no.
And Townshend's music is often political...need I mention Won't Get Fooled 
Again?
