i'm in the odd position of being a born again patriot, not of bush's ill won 
america, but of the wounded city in which i live, the wounded lives i see 
daily and the country that has responded to that. 

i believe in defending my city and my country, but I do not accept lthe 
collateral damage as acceptable, nor is revenge.

i find no problem w/scott conn being an observer. he does not intrude or 
opine, and his interest is in doing a good documentary, which is legit.

i am a bit aghast that this issue has stirred up such a war. there is a much 
bigger one that i am committed to and think my time is better spent 
volunteering than wasted on this guy. i have no objection to new blood, only 
more hot air. it is annoying enuf when it comes from my friends, but i 
basically know and respect them, agree or not. but not for some guy who 
wanders in off the street. nyc is filled w/ranters. i do not want them in my 
home. nor do i want martha stewart for that matter. laird as previously 
explained,  i remain neutral on.

for those really wishing to observe "creative" endeavors of our group, vh1 
used a bunch of my photos in their 80's documentary, most of which will be on 
tonight in the indie rock section, at least i assume from the choices. a few 
tomorrow as well.
