Way to go Jon!  I find all sorts of political conservatism [American
style, that is] on the net, esp. in music newsgroups.  I would have
figured there to be a lot of 'ippies, but I guess it isn't the case.
Could be the demographics are a bit skewed due to the fact that
'ippies maybe aren't so drawn to computer-based jobs?
