Some brief Earth Crisis news. First, they're playing the very last EC show on July 7th, 2001 at Hellfest. Karl is keeping busy though, and will be participating in a debate on channel4.com which suggests that "the proposition that although drugs can be unhealthy for individuals, intoxication has an important role to play in a healthy culture." It's an interesting thought; while I'm supportive of people's right to take drugs, I personally am opposed to their use for myself personally, for exactly that reason. Or to put it another way: "At least I can fucking think." (credit due to Minor threat)
