[Fmpro] Yes We Can

[chris@alpiar.com]

Why's that? Surely as we need air to live we need new ideals and change in politics as composers before all is lost. In case you havent been watching, we are on a ship that has been sucked into a huge cyclone about 10 years ago and while it fights to stay afloat it teeters on the brink of complete and utter *permanent* destruction. While I dont know if Obama is the change we need or not, we should absolutely be discussing politics on this list. An administration in favor of positive change for the people, one that supports the arts, one that is liberal and social-program oriented is one of the key things we need to save our ship. If you think its inconsequential then you need to move along to another form of work or prepare for life to be over in the next 10 or 20 years
