   Anything can be played too loud, but nothing should be.

   Change is bad if bad is the direction of that change. And why do you call   
   Lifelessness and Phoniness 'progress'?

   We're Catastrophically Overpopulated, which means Billions of excess people   
   aren't needed right now!!!

   Because there are simply too damn many people, in other words, they're a De   
   Facto Nuisance!

   And they get neither, because excess people, i.e. STUPID people, i.e. FOOLS   
   are literally asking for a RIP OFF 'economy'!

   Not Real bands, only those who also play recordings as part of their   
   'performances' - at least DJs are more Honest about it and play recordings   
   entirely.
