Thread Name: Origins: You Are My Sunshine
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: You are my sunshine
I can tell you why this verse...

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day...

went into the circular file. It's because it sounds like a threat, and people are sick of that kind of thing.

My newspaper had a long article recently about the good news that abuse of "intimate partners" is noticeably down. This is a long-term trend, the result of 30-40 years of society paying attention to this problem.

So that's some good news for Saturday, March 17th.
