Let's Get Political

Let's Get Political

If just for a second. Techno popster Moby (who created the very stellar album Play and many par-for-the-course electronic records) suggests lying on political-oriented message boards to incite dissent in Bush's presidential campaign.

The can says "Disgusting Worms" but Moby is too busy looking for the perfect sample that he never notices what he's opening.

I can only hoping he was joking.... but if this were to catch on, you could basically write-off the relevancy of democracy. I am not shitting you. I've seen Moby get tied up in a few political strangles recently, and what he absolutely does not understand is that your own weapons can be use against you. Basically, this kind of thing would start a war of disinformation in the New Media, and the Old Media would be too busy salivating over the maggots to actually fact-check.

Is it true that the ends can justify the means? Yes. Absolutely.

But we cannot actively endorse unsavory means to get our dessert. Just can't.
