I agree with Kieth here...The Dig Plans are about expression, and they
like to speak about the injustices in our society today...They are saying
lots of stuff, and you need to look at all of it, and not just specific
points...What about the calling for the freeing of political prisoners such
as Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu-Jamal...What about 'La Femme Fatal', which
does a great job of supporting their stance on abortion...No other group has
the intelligence or the balls to get into stuff like this...All I can say is
that they are deep, and we should check em out...
