So yes, clear thinking induhviduals are boycotting Dixie Chicks music because one of them spoke her mind. What a terrible thing to disparage George Bush.
It's so heartening to see that some will react so quickly to penalize the Dixie Chicks who did no harm save to speak their mind.
I wonder if these same people would boycott Saddam's oil because he's such a vicious monster. Why would we want to buy oil from his country? Certainly, we're not doing it as a whole, since we're his biggest customer. But why would we choose to go to war to kill people, instead of aggressively pursuing fuel alternatives so that we could, in fact, boycott Saddam, and not purchase his oil. Where would the Middle East get their power if we didn't need their oil?
Just a thought.
