So, what do we have now (especially if we attack Iran, as the neocons are "itching" for)?

Do entertainers have any business commenting on matters of state? I want to remind everyone of this actor named Ronald… we referred to him later as Mr. President. And there was this signer named Sonny… we later referred to him as Representative. Now there is this actor named Arnold… we call him Governor.

You never know what the future could bring…

I'll admit I don't buy the Dixie Chicks after their comment, both because I felt it was distasteful (I happened to be on one of those aircraft carriers in the gulf at the time waiting for us to send planes into Iraq) and that she said it more to rile the crowd then to "just express her views"(this isn't to say that she doesn't actually feel that way). I just don't like people playing up negative political issues just to sell more stuff. I support her right to say it, I just don't see why other people can't accept that I have a different opinion than her, and therefore choose now not to provide the Dixie Chicks with more money. I still listen to old Chicks' songs. Some of their songs are pretty good. I just don't feel like giving this group anymore of my money. And personally I think anyone else who feels like they want to support the Chicks that's fine. I don't think they should get a Grammy in country music categories if they don't even truly consider themselves country music anymore. That seems a little dumb to me but hey c'est la vie. I didn't watch the Grammys anyway. And it was horrible for anyone to threaten her life over that comment, but not everyone who stopped buying their stuff feels this way, and there are plenty of stupid people out there on all sides of all kinds of issues.

This is definately one of the well thought out opinion, compared to the namecalling etc of other posters.
