Hi Guys, Hi Fionn, how are things, wak, Haven't heard from you for a while. I just had to correct my brother, here, the other Larry who said that American policy is determined by elections... etc. Well, if that were the case, Gore would be president, who actually won our last election, and the present occupant of the White House (so appropriatly named) would not have signed an order for military and therefore SECRET trials after the war, which would have been the only way we could have had a clue if Le Figaro had the facts right when they said the CIA station chief for the region met with Bin Laden two weeks before the WTC tragidy. Wouldn't it be nice if we stopped all the secrecy and DID live in a democracy? Maybe I am nutz for hopes, but we Friends are big on the truth, that is why we invented the price tag.
By the by, Fionn does play music and contributes greatly to all the threads musical and otherwise. In fact, as one who writes folk music, I will be the first to state that the "non musical" threads are vital for writers of the people's music.
Cheers all,
Larry (the InOBU one)
