I find it comical that rappers like 50 Cent take a realpolitik view of streetcrime but suddenly become Federalists when bootleg copies of their movies or CDs are in circulation. Is respect for intellectual property rights a logical progression of ‘get rich or die tryin’ ?
excellent question but you know “politics is complex” (hey on another note tell your brother i haven’t forgotten about him…he called me a few weeks ago and i’ve been meaning to return the call).
