Sorry to have run on so long; but Ideas Have Consequences is such a--such a 
consequential--book for conservatives that I just had to explain it a bit. I 
hope the musical relevance is clear: No, Eminem is NOT good; he is BAD; he 
is a bad musician and (this is important) because he encourages bad courses 
of action, he is also a bad PERSON: we must not shrink from the truth merely 
becaause the truth sounds uncharitable.&nbsp; For the answer to "Who are you to 
call him bad?" see third paragraph up.&nbsp;&nbsp; And "one man's music is another 
man's noise" won't cut it; not unless you are willing to defend a charge of 
aggravated battery on the ground that one's man's battery is another man's 
sparring practice. 
 
shutting up at last,
