Capuchin, I agree with and admire a great deal of your post, but I must disagree with the implied thrust of these two statements specifically. The first because liberalism, historically, is the practice of government (or, more generally, of Power) gradually granting certain rights *that it has historically reserved for itself* to the population as a whole in order to retain the greater part of its power. In this sense, Magna Carta a perfect example of the first great, post-dark ages liberal document of the western world. Unless you are only looking at the middle phrase "gradually granting certain rights" and ignoring the rest, the question "is this organization's goals liberal or not?" would appear to be irrelevant as applied to the NRA. As for your second claim, again, from a socio-historical perspective, rascism is irrelevant unless there is power involved. If, for example, Native Americans start making decisions based on whether or not the parties affected by their decisions are white, you and I, Jeme, you and I aren't going to give a damn. It has, literally, no effect on us. But if you and I were Native American, and if white people start making decisions based on whether or not the parties affected by their decisions were *Native American*, you're darn tootin' we'd take notice. The reciprocal is NOT equivalent to the original. I understand your frustration with language, of wanting to make words conform strictly to the precedents set for them by their roots, "liber-" and "race-". I come from a math background, too - -- it sure would be nice to be able to sit down and formulaicly hammer these things out. But language and linguistics don't work that way -- in order to communicate, you have to meet the recipient of your words halfway, and that *especially* means allowing those connotative meanings to take a place at the table. Ultimately, your only frame of reference with your conversational partner is the world around you, and it's going to seep it's way into your conversation, on one end or the other, whether you are conscious of it or not. - -Michael Wolfe ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 21:10:54 -0500 From: Eric Loehr Subject: Re: Political Literalism At 12:16 AM 2/28/01 +0000, Michael Wolfe wrote: >I understand your frustration with language, of wanting to make >words conform strictly to the precedents set for them by their >roots, "liber-" and "race-".

Well, once again, Godwin's Law (hi, Mike!) rears it's head as these arguments reach a certain point, and someone has to drag Liberace into it. And so it goes...

So, poor me and all, but I would like to ask the musicians on the list if they have found any online forums for that sort of thing. The closest I've seen are a couple of newsgroups that seem only interested in electronica of one sort or another. Then there are the trade publications that will evaluate music (sometimes for a fee) in terms of its commercial value. None of that's really very interesting to me. I suppose I have this utopian vision of the net spawning communities where somewhat like-minded people can share their work, and maybe learn something about how it's received by others, completely removed from considerations of commerce. Anybody ever run into anything vaguely resembling that?

Add this to the list of the famous Soft Boys song covers: Goo Goo Dolls Uncle Tupelo. The Goo Goo Dolls' attempt is achingly true to the original... that is to say, they didn't do anything interesting or original with it or even try to do it in their style, if they have one. My guess is that a fair number of Goo Goo Dolls fans (if there are such a thing) think it's an original B-side. Uncle Tupelo's cover appears to be live and acoustic. Very country sounding. I kind of like it. It doesn't feel like the whole song though. By the way, I got these using TekNap and was connected to about thirty servers simultaneously (but I'm pretty sure they were all OpenNap servers), so I can't tell you whence they orginated.

Just to follow up on what Michael W. wrote, there was also this bit: >Fighting new opression is conservative... it is an attempt to >conserve the freedoms we once had. Fighting vehemently >would make you "ultraconservative" in my book. But if the freedoms you're fighting to "conserve" were originally taken away by people claiming to be conservatives, themselves fighting to preserve "values" or "traditions" or what-not, what then? If you're trying to *restore* freedoms that you once had but have no longer, then I think your political alignment relative to them has to depend on that of the opposing side who took them away in the first place. (If any...) While I agree with the part about political labels being a form of laziness, I'm afraid I have to agree with Michael about the other stuff - language is too haphazard and chaotic in and of itself to try to impose strict etymological rules, especially when politics is involved. It's much better to use more direct, time- tested forms of interpersonal communication, such as body odor, pheromones, and threats with blunt instruments.

THere are numerous live versions, but "I Wanna Destroy You" was officially released in 1991 as the B-side to "Gun," arguably Jeff Tweedy's first really *good* song. I think it was Tupelo's second single? It was still in print not so very long ago (Rockville Records) and shouldn't be too hard to come by. Mine skips, unfortunately. The Goo Goo Dolls were one of the best of the bands ripping off the Replacements through _Hold Me Up_.
