So Scelsa - I guess you no longer want to asscociate with the Rolling Stones considering they are Bill Clinton supporters and wrote "Sweet Neocon". Perhaps you should give up your Halloween ticket as well . . .
And FYI - The William J. Clinton Foundation, which is what this fundraising event is for, provides food and medicine for the most needy worldwide. How would you like to spin that one.
Let me guess:
"They buy generic drugs for poor people, and don't provide the billion dollar drug organizations the money they deserve . . ."
or
"Why should we help poor people. It's their fault they're poor. They should pick themselves up by the bootstraps . . ."
You have every right to be Republican. Free speech is still allowed in this country (I think . . .) But to buy tickets to a fundraising event knowing FULL WELL what the event was for, then claim on a ROLLING STONES message board that's full of fans who would LOVE to go to that show, that you will not attend because "that person" will be there is pathetic. (When "that person" is raising money for the most needy worldwide). And then when people respond to your statement, accuse US of beng intolerant?!
In the future, when you're social security is not there for you, and there is no middle class, and there is no separation of church and state, we have no allies left in the world, and oil prices are over $5 a gallon, and global warming is out of control, our water, air and forests are polluted, guns are everywhere, and the press can be a mouthpiece for a political agenda, and goverment positions are held by political allies, and women have no right to choose, and there is no welfare, a huge budget deficit that your kids will be spending their life trying to pay off . . .
Don't come crying to me.
