"You think it's as simple as singing songs from different cultures and then they'll go away? Let me translate it into a US context. The KKK come along and start hijacking fine American tunes to promote their filthy, racist cause. You sing them Kum Ba Yah or We Shall Overcome or some such. They say "ok" and go off and be nicely multicultural. I don't think so."

I'm bowing out of this thread for now, thank you (company coming), but I may be back. But before I go, this is not what I was talking about at all. I am not so stupid as to think that all anyone has to do is sing a couple of inane songs and the nasties will suddenly see the light. I know just how nasty the nasties actually are, in whichever country they manifest themselves and whatever name they chose to go under.

For Chrissake, give me some credit!
