[DeTomaso] Politics

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Since the subject line says either NPC or Politics or both, you all have the
ability to not open the files and/or simply delete it.

Personally I like learning from others and have on occasion been swayed by
others who offer new information to help me better understand an issue.
either from working in that field, by education or by personal experience.

Knowing that like family, that we are connected by all things Pantera also
means that we share a common ground, a connection
that centers us, just as some are connected by skin color, religion,
education, career choices, etc.

So, if you happen to be a black, radical, Jewish, PhD who studies hamster
mating, we still have Pantera's in common. Most of you
know I'm a moderately conservative white guy in the south who is by all
definitions, a deist - who used to race sports cars and
now works in the entertainment and marketing business.
We can always skip the BS and talk about ZF ratios anytime, BUT IN THE
EVENT, I have a desire or a need to know something about
hamsters or the black Jewish experience, it always helps to know more about
my friends than just what cars they like.

Most of us are multidimensional, I suggest that if you aren't that you
should read the f#%king subject line and stop preaching to everybody else.
