   Oh, go fuck yourself.  Really.  Look at the subject line.  The question was,   
   "What was Natalie Thinking?"  I answered that.  She was thinking she had the   
   right to speak her mind.  She did and she does.

   No, they are not.  I am astonished some people question her patriotism,   
   that's all.  Anyway, I doubt they were buying her albums because of her   
   politics.  They liked her music.

   Very true.  I cannot believe some people are alienated by common sense, but   
   whatever.

   Did I say they were?  Did I say hers were?  No.  I didn't.
