"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:
Dial 0 by My Robot Friend

My Robot Friend: Dial 0
Soma 5/29/2006

Available at Emusic

My Robot Friend, aka Howard Robot, offers fun and frivolous electronic dance music. Nobody could credibly accuse My Robot Friend of taking itself too seriously, as the subject matter vacillates from the sublime to the absurd and back in the same breath. Drugs, orgies, break-ups, bears (of the large, hairy, gay variety) and the decline of Western civilization are some of the most prominent topics tackled on Dial 0. Like many John Waters films, Dial 0 handles these subjects deftly with a perverse, and often juvenile, sense of humor.
