[Locke]

I agree with you up the point of appreciating your pride and sharing certain sentiments.

However, I get the impression that this source is trying to impress its independence on us a little too much. A very common side-effect of independent media. In order to be heard, and deemed free thinking independents they have to appear to be thinking something that no else is thinking, or saying at least. To be considered independent they have to be the craziest voice in the crowd.

Its similar to the mentality of the music/art snob. They only enjoy the independent artists, all other music is whats wrong with the world, and then they hit the mainstream, and then they suck too.

Thats not to say that all points here must be discarded or discounted outright simply because of this. I'm simply implying that this is far from a credible source, but their points have merit, or at the very least may have merit. They must simply be taken with a grain of salt and interpreted accordingly. Dont swallow this pill without thinking.

Analyze and interpret.

Locke.
