Two points. Firstly this is the most valid statement I've seen on this argument so far: "steve /k/./F/": >i don't believe many of us on the list can get a decent perspective on the situation >when we get our information from Sky, CNN, NBC etc. which are basically the >machinery of western propaganda. Secondly, Bryn Jones obviously believes that the Palestine/Isreal situation is a war, and regardless of whether you agree with that or not, it should be possible to talk about the destruction of an occupying force in a war without having your views dismissed as racist and fascist. And if I wanted soundbites interpreted out of context, Steve has already pointed out where I can get them. On a more cheerful note. If anyones feeling a bit depressed by all this heavy politics, and wintry February cold (Out southern hemispherical chums excepted, of course) do yourself a favour and get the Dimitri from Paris mix CD from Mixmag. Normally of course I'd slice my own fingers off before buying anything from Mixmag, but I'll make an exception for Dimitri. So ignore the cheesy sleevenotes by a guy who can't even recognise a sample from Breakfast at Tiffany's when he hears one, and ignore the fact that sad IDM muso geeks don't like house music, put this CD on and its summertime in your living room. Que le force soit avec toi, Andrew C.
