judith parker Indianapolis, IN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 19, 2006 There should not be any thing wrong with speaking your mind in this "free"country,should there? Isn't that what we stand for and are spending and destroying lives supposedly helping people in other countries to fight for????I hate country music but I'll buy everything the Dixie Chicks record to support their courage and conviction. There are currently artists commenting on the New Orleans fiasco and the current administration costing american lives right here in this country.Are ignorant people going to criticize and boycott them too?Thanks for being good citizens, I applaud the Dixie Chicks.
