Re: AGD missing, the future of this forum

I did not vote for Trump but I just don't understand the intolerance of pro-Hillary or anti-Trump groups for people with political views other than their own.  I find the idea that if a band wanted to play the Trump inauguration, Hollywood people and other artists would threaten them with never getting any kind of work again abhorrent.  This is a democracy and not only should we tolerate alternative points of view, freedom of speech requires that it is protected and should be celebrated - we at least have freedom of speech in this country, unlike many others around the world.  Notice I'm talking alternative points of view - not hate speech, which I realize many feel Trump used during the campaign, which of course should be criticized and "deplored" to borrow a Hillary phrase.

I think this forum is for debating and discussing alternative points of view on the Beach boys music and history, not political issues - other than the Sandbox.  Let's leave it there.
