you can make a post about green sox if you want as far as i am concerned
BECAUSE
there is a reason in the constitution of the united states
written oh in the 1700's
and amended to include the bill of rights later
was inclusive of freedom of speech
wonder why those crazy white guys would give a crap about that?
the ones in power now seem to understand just how crazy they were
believe it or not
(as there are way too many boring - academic - repetitively rehashing old
crap films in the supposed experimental film world)
experimental film is an inclusive genre of art/film
if you don't like the posts in a given subject use your civil rights to not
read them
control freakism is boring and lifeless
unfortunately some people are interested in such things
