Hey Wibberely!
I was going to respond to your following post yesterday, but I had some computer problems and had to un-install my IncrediMail using Final Uninstall to clean up the registry files, and then re-install my IncrediMail again.
Anyway, in response to . . . . .

Well, I did a Google Search on Marty or Martie Pellows, so he's just another rock singer.
There are some rock groups or some individual singers that I don't particularly like, but I don't think any of them deserve to have their heads slammed against the wall, nor do I think anyone who produces music that sucks deserves to die.
If they suck, or if their music sucks, I just don't listen, because they have no effect on my life.
Now sports, that's a different matter, because sports was shoved down my throat when I went to school, and sports is responsible for the declining quality of education in our schools, so sports has had a devastating effect on my life, and so, I feel that a lot of jocks and sports fans should just go crawl into a sewer and die!
No, I'm not going to go out and do anybody any physical harm! I'm not going to kill anybody. I wouldn't dirty my hands!
But, merely wishing death on somebody, and actually threatening somebody with death, that is two different things entirely.
Now, there is somebody, who's head I would love to see slammed against the corner of a concrete block wall.
Not because he's a jock or a sports fan, but because he is somebody who does have an effect on other people's lives.
Please watch the following YouTube Video. This is an annotated version of an ABC NEWS NIGHTLINE video which I have uploaded to my own YouTube channel.

March 11, 2010 on ABC Nightline:
Fundamentalist Christian dentist (hey! That rhymes!) Don McLeory, promotes drastic curriculum change for school textbooks in the state of Texas.
Among some of the proposed changes would be to remove any mention of Thomas Jefferson from the history textbooks and replace him with John Calvin, a raving maniac who a few centuries ago had people tortured in the name of his religion.
This, of course, is not mentioned in the NEWS clipping on the video above, but many other purposed changes are mentioned.
Don McLeoroy was eventually voted out of the Texas State Board of Education, but it's too late, because the board has selected the Textbooks that will be used for the next 10 years, so we're all screwed!
----------------------------------------
Don McLeroy bears a remarkable resemblance to a teacher I had when I was in the 5th grade.
As I had mentioned before, so many times in these forums, we had gotten into an argument over an Astronomy book that he would not allow me to check out from the school library, and during the argument, he dragged me out of the classroom, out into the hallway, grabbed me by the shoulders, pushed me back, bashing my head against the corner of the concrete block wall.
The following year, that teacher was fired, and he could not get a teaching job anywhere else, but the damage was done.
For years afterward, I had dizzy spells and headaches, which gradually became less intense during my teenage years, and after I was in my 20s I didn't have the dizzy spells or headaches anymore.
Anyway . . . . .
Don McLeroy looks an awful lot like the teacher I had when I was in the 5th grade.
I hate this fucker, because he wanted to have Thomas Jefferson removed from school history texts, and have Creationist fairy tales inserted into the science textbooks.
I would love to see him getting his head slammed against a brick wall.
And just like you, Mr. Wibberely, I do have an extensive death list.
But I am not going to act on in.
First, there was Papa Bush, who was President from 1988 to 1992 who got us involved in a war over oil, and he once mentioned that he hates broccoli, so, I have a fantasy of him driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour and getting killed in a head-on collision with a great big 18-wheeler hauling 10 tons of broccoli.
Then there was his son, Baby Bush, who was President from 2000 to 2008 who almost choked to death while eating a small bag of pretzels. He had accidentally swallowed a pretzel down whole which got lodged in his throat. But it softened up in his throat so he was able to swallow it, but he nearly choked on it. My fantasy is that while driving around town (after snorting a few lines of cocaine) he gets killed in a head on collision with a truck hauling bags of pretzels.
Then there is Sara Palin who I hope never becomes President.
I hope that one day, while hunting wolves from a helicopter, that she leans out too far forward and falls from her helicopter, and falls into the whirling blades of another helicopter that was flying below her.
CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!
OK, these are only fantasies that I have in my own mind.
No, I don't wish assassination on any one of them, but only that they go out in a freak accident, in some bizarre fashion, as in a Stephen King novel or as in Omen.
Now these are people who can have an effect on our lives. It would be a disaster if Sara Palin were ever elected President.
But people who produce music that sucks, well, I just ignore them, and not listen to their garbage.
