Rage Against The Masses
Over the Christmas holiday period, my piece on Rage Against The Machine Vs X Factor generated a lot of email blather.

I enjoy your sharp-pointed commentary. I surfed over here from Gertrude on blogspot. I too notice that the people I know who consider themselves oh-so-enlightened are saying prosperity is bad. I've just begun to see how some people don't reason based on reality.
