"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

My recommendations 2006:
Be He Me by Annuals

Annuals: Be He Me
Ace Fu 10/17/2006

Annuals make me wonder whether they are a "band" or a "collective". There are moments when I picture a bunch of bearded patchouli-wearing neo-hippies playing improvised melodies on instruments chosen at random and having a great time doing it. Other times, fully developed sunny pop songs that resemble Oranges & Lemons-era XTC emerge with choruses and vocal harmonies like hundreds of golden helium-filled balloons being released simultaneously. Either way, the result is highly appealing.
