THIS IS NOT A CLEVER ADVERTISING PLOY, LOOK UP RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ON WIKIPEDIA, THEY ARE DEFINATLEY NOT SOME LARGE CORPORATE PUPPET THEY SUPPORT MANY GOOD CAUSES AS DOES THE FACEBOOK GROUP PUSHING THIS
LET'S GET RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE TO THE CHRISTMAS NO.1 SPOT THEN!
We cannot mass message all members. Facebook disable that option on large groups!
Q: So how do we do this then?
A: Take your pick(s) of the digital providers below. It should take you to the page where you can purchase your copy of KILLING IN THE NAME. in most cases it's track#2 but check before you click!
Q: Why have you used shortened links?
A: It gives us a ROUGH idea of how we are doing on sales. I can get a click count this way
Q: But there's other websites now offering RAGE for Xmas links?
A: Yes, but these links right here were created by the creators of the whole campaign themselves. They are not 'affiliate' links so therefore nobody gets any sort of 'commision'. You don't need to go anywhere else.
Q: When do i buy 'Killing In The Name'?
A: NOW until Saturday 19th December at 23:59pm
Q: Can I buy loads of downloads?
A: In a nutshell no. If the Chart company see unusual selling patterns they can ignore the bulk purchases or worse still remove the track completely. As admin I cannot be seen to encourage this

LET'S MAKE THIS A HISTORIC CHRISTMAS ON MANY LEVELS
Probably :P
They'll be on Pop Party 8 now! :)
On the religious debate of the thread...doesn't the Christmas tradition of tinsel have a lot to do with pagan traditions of hanging intestines and other food stuffs high in trees to prevent certain animals getting to them? (or something like that)
*Realises in horror if we did have pagan chavs... offerings of bottles of White Lightning to a scarecrow god dressed in burberry...may be best we stay as we are!*
My view is that the Pagan belief didn't die out for no reason. It may have been pushed aside by Christianity but it couldn't have been that hard to convert. It was very very primitive, and quite extreme which would just not cut it with advanced society.

Indeed you have.
Maybe we should revert to our pagan roots. I feel like a sacrifice coming on :p

Believe me HM a lot of things were OK and made far more sense than today's bickering.....
DAVID ICKE
Then realised I'm either a nutter for thinking what he was or that he is indeed the son of God (although I can understand his hatred of crosses...he was a goalie after all!).
I wonder what the country would be like if we actually went back to our original pagan ways? Would we still have the wars we do now, or would it still be resorting to sacrificing to the pagan gods for a bountiful harvest and let them battle it out amongst themselves?
