Meh After what they did to the Dixie Chicks The Country Music fandom can kind of kick rocks Rocket River
History has proven the country music fans correct. The Dixie Chicks didn't support the Iraq War and in the end we all saw how valid that episode was.

I think you have a whole lot of preconceived notions about a whole lot of people (not saying you're wrong about *every*thing/one) who you know little about, and a pretty serious superiority complex that is also pretty baseless.

Of course, then you go 45 minutes up the road to Llano, and they're yanking books out of the library and dealing with lawsuits because of it. So what the hell do I know?
