Wow...Not music related, but I can't believe I heard one of our allies utter those words:

Blame culture I call it, our politicians way of getting out of it as they always do.
Did they ban morse code when the two world wars were on??
Of the millions of people who use, Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry this is a snall minority who have created a monster who are penalising the rest of us.
Anyway it is a big subject which may become out of hand so I am calling it a day on this subject

The free flow of information can sometimes be a problem. Yes, it can. And that's a price of freedom.
They that can give up essential liberty to
obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it. - Thomas Paine

The problem are those who choose violence for no good reason other than to feel powerful. There are protesters who may have legitimate gripes, put there seem to be a large amount of punks whoi have a priviledged life in comparison. Values do count, not only when it is convenient. What amazaes me is how many who have enjoyed free speech to their benefit but seek to limit others from having it i.e. John Kerry recently.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of our posting guidelines, which can be found .

Posting plans for violence, vandalism, etc is evidence. I kind of think it would be stupid to use message boards, Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, etc to plan criminal activity. Expressing your opinion is one thing.....

Dave..thanks for the reminder..I think we should keep it to basses, amps, setups and music.
I have been repremanded in the past for my own stupidity!!!
Of course motorcycles and other self indulgent pastimes should be discussed freely as well

I'm offended, Terry! Modders, I propose the guidelines include something about leaving out guitars

I'm with Terry - motorcycles . . . however I usually get my fix at the XJBikes site. It's community has a similar cool vibe like here at Alembic. :-)

+1 for motorcycles! This is one of mine (and it's for sale).

Talk about hijacking a thread... oh well, bikes are more fun than politics!
