How is describing immigrants from Mexico as Mexicans racist? What is racist is redneck yahoos criticizing Mexicans for speaking less than perfect English - - - their second language - - - when they are already far more bilingual than the typical American will ever dream of being.

I am only slamming anyone because they have slammed me. There are acts of aggression and acts of retaliation in self-defense. To interfere in the creative process of another when one is not paying them to take orders is a clear act of aggression, and if I smash their guitars over their heads for doing so, it is merely an entirely legitimate act of self-defense in reaction of a clear invasion of one's spiritual space.

I "adapt to whatever is played" - - - until I am interfered with.

I do not have spellcheck, either. I am simply fluent in English. You're a good sport, though, Bogul, and I respect you for that. You realize that you are simply serving as a surrogate for the people who really have peeed me off.

Could you please describe to me, however, how a basic policy of "you play your instrument, I'll play mine" is perceived as such a horrendous injustice by so many musicians, if it is not simply a matter of, as I describe it, Control Freak Egomania. What such people are butterting is simply that "you are an egomaniac to the extent that you refuse to take orders from me." Do you see the irony in this?
