Gygax, there was no "generalization" in that point, and there need be no long grueling debate because I don't think this point is debatable: a vote is a tool you're given to affect political leadership, and has not until very recently been viewed as an opportunity for the expression of self. I respect whatever personal ideals you have to vote only for candidates you near-absolutely endorse, but I think inserting those ideals into a voting process that's not built to accommodate them (i.e. a non-proportional one) is a bad and counterproductive idea that accomplishes nothing apart from giving you the satisfaction of having expressed yourself:

Gygax's mother: "For dinner you can have either soup or poop."
Gygax: "I register my objection to both: I would prefer potatoes."
Gygax's mother: "Enjoy your poop."
Gygax: "I shall."

Y'know those little things that dangle at entrances to parking garages with "CLEARANCE 7 FT" written on them? In high school I had this stupid thing I liked to do where I jumped up and grabbed onto them with my hands & feet and swung around on 'em. Once I did this and broke the chain and fell 7 feet flat on my back on the concrete, and the thing swung and hit me right in the nutsack. Worst. Thing. I. Did. Ever.

Trying to compare it to a "I'm more indie that you" thing is bull because when you ignore indie rock bands, they don't go and massacre the populace.

Rick Rossovich, best remembered for his gritty portrayal of "Slider" in Top Gun, greasing himself up before his Volleyball Match against Thomas F. Wilson..best know for his work as "Biff" in the Back To The Future movies. He's overheard trying to psych out Rossovich before the game Wilson - "Hello, Rossovich, anyone home, hello....why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!"
Rossovich - "Who's butt did you kiss to get in here?"
Wilson - "Well the list is long and distinguished."
Rossovich - "Yeah, well so is my Johnson."

>>That "throw-in-everything-and-see-what-genius-falls-out" type of songwriting screams punk to me.<<<

"Throw in everything and see what genius falls out" has more to do with disco (or even prog rock) than punk (which, as often as not, is more like, "Leave everything out that other punks say we're not allowed to put in."). (Though, LOOK AT US, MOMMY, AREN'T YOU IMPRESSED BY HOW WE'RE THROWING EVERYTHING IN THERE AND SEEING WHAT GENIUS FALLS OUT may well be more punk. Or at least "punk." Which is maybe where Atari Teenage Riot fit in. Though they were okay at it.)

The easy way around that is to instigate a sexual encounter every time she asks you what you thought of it. She'll be pleased because she'll think you REALLY liked it and you'll be pleased because you're having sex. (This strategy is not recommended if you are in a fast-food drive-through.)

I resent being told how much we do or don't like music, I think it's obvious lots of people here really do love music, from the type of personal questions continuously asked as well as from the fact that people actually want to write about it for a living. It's a shitty job the same way it's a shitty hobby, I can't speak for anyone else but I'd much rather if I enjoyed watersports or jogging or accountancy because life would be far easier.
