My political views on things can get pretty heated too, I think mine may have been a bit worse though.

I think there's a problem, particularly in America, with people getting really upset when they discuss politics. It's a bit like arguing over if the Beatles or Beach Boys were better, because it's all subjective. There as a comedian who once said when people ask him what his beliefs are he says, "Hey, the last time I checked, this is America," and by the time they figure it out, he's long gone.

If you're like me, your political beliefs are so out there that you won't even bother discussing them with most people. With a case like this, I'm surprised I'm not more against the government's involvement. Usually I am.

Until more facts come to light, I am withholding the conspiracy theories. As of right now, it is Gibson's word vs. the government's. Given the leadership on both sides, I am not ready to take either side at its word!

Yep Guy, I am a raging conspirist! I usually don't talk about my views on anything because too many people get offended.

Hmm, come to think of it. . . excellent point. Revamped Thunderbirds, Robot guitars. . . I won't mention any political stuff, but some of you might find certain governmental leadership decisions equally savvy.

I think Gibson is being framed by Bigfoot.

This is getting more ridiculous by the day

What guitar maker doesn't use Indian Rosewood?

Well, RIC uses African rosewood, which is also called bubinga...

The government should lay off, Gibson is making guitars which make music which inturn makes money and stimulates the economy. I wrote a whole paper in school about how Rickenbacker changed the world.

Did the teacher also ask you how come Gibson mutated into Rickenbacker in the course of paper?

Where did the money to buy the Gibson with come from to start with?

Probably the money the government gets from their own drug tra... Oops.

Well, the money used to buy a Gibson would also "stimulate" the economy if it was used for groceries, books, clothes, Squiers ( ), and other goods.

They were involved in a lot more that one would think (if you get what I mean), and then we get the whole propganda speal, its like 1984! I think free speach will be taken away soon.
