personal opinions! I love music, in all its tones! :-)

was about the only part of this thread caught my eye, so 
apologies if i'm butting in.

it reminded me of myself, some years ago. i found i'd taken on 
others opinions about public figures.

later, once i started meeting some of the people i had such firm 
and negative opinions about i found out the truth.

yep, they're all assholes!

i'm kidding ;-)

i found that the public perception was entirely different from 
anything i'd previously thought.

don't believe the hype is a truism.

ps, the exception to every rule?

politicians really ARE as awful in real life as we think they are!
