I'm curious what music you listen to as i am sure i could pick apart just about anything you enjoy.
    Touche! For music, it's mostly classical (and I don't listen to Wagner) but you're right, anything contemporary that people listen to (unless it's country, those seem to have the only conservative artists) they probably hold mostly liberal viewpoints. Rage Against the Machine bemoaned the fact that the troops used their music for moto in Iraq/A-stan. My favorite contemporary group is probably Radiohead, and politically they're about as liberal as it gets. For TV, I watch shows that my GF wants to watch, and I've been "kicked out of the theater" plenty of times watching Bones with her. But a show like So You Think You Can Dance or even American Idol probably has less bias in it than BBTheory, one level down than 30 Rock (alec baldwin, tina fey, etc).

    Never meant to attack you, but I can see how my post could easily have been read that way.

    No touche, that mind set is everywhere. I find it interesting RATM burned American flags exercising their "rights" however attack them for their politics and or burn a mexican flag and you're a racist.
    More than 1/2 the music we listen to is from "tolerent" World artist, who "think Globally" The other 1/2 is from when "we" advocated over throwing the US .gov back some 44 yrs ago.
