kateypants	Jul 1 2008 7:55 AM actually, i think you ask genuine questions and i enjoy having having political talks with you because i find it to be a healthy challenge. i appreciate it quite a bit. it's a big part that i like about you.
wilde in the streets!	Jun 30 2008 8:30 PM i was thinking, would you rather play solo or would you be down to have everyone else who is playing that night back you up? i don't really have much to bring to the table, but i do have a pretty mean hand clap. and i can keep time. nah meen?
kateypants	Jun 30 2008 3:14 PM a lot of the rhetoric surrounding reproductive rights centers around economic issues. For instance the Donohue and Levitt's study done in the early 1990's asserted that Roe v. Wade is what led to a lower crime rate since more people were getting abortions. this study was heralded among liberals as the case for Roe v Wade. The assumptions it makes are rife with racism and the demonization of poor people. There is a long history with well minded liberals and forced sterilization in the 1970's up to the 1990's as well. This was mainly advocated by social workers and liberal elitist: http://www. webster. edu/~woolflm/forcedsterilization. html the reason i bring this up is obviously not because i think the reactionary right cares about women at all. I just think the same goes for a lot of liberals as well. my analysis mainly goes with the patronizing and condescending treatment poor women get from the right and the left. and the fact that their bodies are used as policy decisions. i want to see a world where womens rights are based on an equal distribution of power, self-determination, and justice.
kateypants	Jun 30 2008 2:15 PM often any solution that is about population control and harm reduction come from liberal minded individuals. its the hard-core crime and punishment stuff that comes from the right.
James Eric	Jun 30 2008 1:21 PM Has Porches ever played a show on an actual Porch? It'd be so literal! You're so loved that you can get a different lineup of amazing musicians to back you up at every show. That's pretty ballin, dude. Hope I make it to the next one. I'll be interviewing you at the fest when I have my Spike Lee documentary camcorder, yo.
Broken Open Seed	Jun 30 2008 8:37 AM No problem, Ben! I'm glad you like them:) I actually have some of you from that show in Urbana up on my photobucket, too, that I don't think I ever got to you. Whoops.
