Good point.  People are far more important than an opinion.

Jon:

Yeah! I don't see why so many people get so worked up by an opinion in the 
first place. And Hell, the more opinions the better the discussion. What's 
the point of a group with messages like:

"The Who rule."

"Yeah, they're the greatest."

"Uh huh. Who's Next is the best album of all time. I love it."

"Me too."

Etc. etc. etc.

I never said "bad" but merely "worse than the CD analogy."

What are you talking about, Willis?

Alan:

"Money is the root of all evil." I didn't write it, but self interest has got 
to be the lowest motivation and that I believe. There was a time, you may not 
recall, but I remember President Kennedy saying "Ask not what your country 
can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Now we're stuck with 
the politics of "I didn't have anything to do with Enron!" Sad. Bush is such 
a loser compared to Kennedy. He states the obvious like it's important news 
that we all need to know and don't already.

Both have to do with charging more than usual for an item.

Good for you! You're a realist.

I didn't say THAT! But money is not my main focus in life. I don't see 
anything wrong with that. I'm not going to make myself miserable trying to 
grub a few more bucks. When did being selfless become a crime? Oh yeah, 
during Reagan.

You can thank Kennedy and NASA for our computers. But good for them, I'm not 
inventing anything. Just selling CDs. If I can enlighten someone to music 
that moves them for a low price, I'm happier than if I made more money. This 
is just how I pay the bills while I write novels.

How's that? Just because I'm not drooling to fleece my customers?

With a title like that book I'm not looking at anything but a biased account. 
I'll pass, thanks anyway. I remember what happened when it happened. You 
don't find me recommending reading material that's biased the other way, so 
don't expect me to join the stupid "blame Clinton for everything" book club. 
Those people have serious brain damage. Really. They need extensive therapy.

Oh, THAT'S accurate. The media finds out anything EXCEPT that. HA! See, he's 
already lost any credibility he might have had. No thanks. I don't need to be 
told what to think.
