RTP-area local music and culture

What rankled me a bit was that the first letter sounded like "I'm not 
going to do it anymore, and neither should you." Like Jason said, it 
made a dichotomy- either you're with us or you're agin' us.

"I'm not going to do it" is one thing... none of us are perfect, and 
everyone has some moral gray areas in these things. It's pretty much 
impossible to be any kind of consumer these days otherwise. Seems to me 
that most people interpret that as "I'm going to try my best not to do 
it, but I'm human so I might fuck up sometime."

"I'm not going to do it, and neither should you", however, requires a 
higher standard of personal actions and comments if one wants to avoid 
accusations of hypocrisy. That's all I'm saying here.
