1 - Depends on how committed I am to the subject.Firscherscherling said:Interesting. Seems to me that some of us have a larger voice than others. An opportunity to express an opinion that is heard by many rather than just a few.
1 - So the question becomes, if you were one of those people with a larger voice, would you use it, or would you simply "shut up and sing"? I'd like to think I'd use it. And, based on my experience in concert going, I'd say 90% of the people I've seen choose to use it as well.
2 - So, is the issue that he expressed a political opinion on stage, or that you disagree with that opinion?
2a - If he'd said, "Stop the madness. Put an end to abortion." would you have booed and stormed out, or cheered?
3 - So if I go to a Toby Keith concert and he praises the president and the war, should I storm out? Should I have expected something else? Shouldn't I have known before I went in that he had a different set of political views than I?
4 - Seems like a case of poor judgement and thin skin for those who stormed out.
2 - The issue is whether the audience agrees or not.
2a - Cheered.
3 - Your choice. If you don't know what you're getting with Toby, you're living in a cave.
4 - Poor judgement yes - his. Thin skin? Nope. Lawful reaction.
He's entitled to speak his mind. I'm entitled to my lawful reaction. Period. M
