well, it is indeed a complex issue.  all i can say is that i'm 
sitting here listening to obsKuriTies 1 on the headphones at
my desk.  this has enhanced my life.  i love these songs.  my 
life is a little bit richer.      

perhaps this is similar to controversial tv programs.  instead
of rallying to get them off the air, perhaps the objectors could
change the channel instead?  elect to avoid the show themselves?

for those of you who feel uncomfortable ordering obsKuriTies 2, i
support you whole-heartedly.  yet i encourage ied to go ahead and make
the tapes anyway, for those of us with less willpower.  if ied
gets a letter back from the bush family strongly objecting to this,
then he can take it from there.  let's wait until then to decide.     

andrew:  tell ied to keep my check regardless.
