Your Words are not Mine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite some accusations to the contrary, we do try to be balanced and fair here at Down The Line.\u00a0 Except against the music industry giant, of course. Most people get this\u2026 but we still get surprised at those that don\u2019t. Not that they don\u2019t get it, but the weird logical leaps they go through to prove (to us, at least) that they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

A few people need to learn that printing someone else\u2019s position in a magazine does not equal to us agreeing (or disagreeing) with what they say.\u00a0\u00a0 The Earth is not going to stop rotating because someone else got to say something that I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is really just part of the culture we live in. How many million blog posts have been written just because someone has to get the last word in? The older I get, the less I care about correcting every wrong sentence in the world and the more I become concerned with righting what is wrong in me or the people that I am called to advocate for (my friends and the needy).<\/p>\n
