I don't know that I would infer from Jocelyn's post that she's more
concerned about the content of music videos than she is about political
issues.  I would surmize that there are several people on Audities who are
much more passionate and proactive about politics than they are about
music-even if they make extremely passionate musical posts-but they prefer
not to state their political viewpoints here because this is first and
foremost a music list.
