Hi Martin, I don't think I've ever given you reason to feel slighted in any way, so please hear my request. As one whose grew up fighting (& watching others around me dying) for a chance to get free of a hell hole, I have always spoken up for those who wasted away & didn't make it. I know no one from my youth most are dead the rest in prison or belong to the walking dead & I hope a few have quitely made good for themselves. So I think I can ask of you if there's ignorance & it's offended you enlighten those of us who don't understand it's a little part of the responsiblity that's owed those who were less fortunate in their struggle to survive. Violence makes vitims of anyone it remotely touches & with instant global communication it won't miss a soul. I don't think there are any here that are out right nasty & enjoy hurting maybe quitly of being insensitve or unaware or naive or impulsive or passionate or opinionated or blindsided or hindsighted or oversensitive or any of the other human faults but there's also alot of soul searching & caring & openmindedness & compassion & forgiveness. I don't know enough of where you're from to express an opinion one way or another & won't without the first hand knowledge anyway, I only deplore violence in any form & care not for causes when children die because of them weither it's perpetuated by a government, a group, a church or an individual. The power of music is a double edged blade, it can be used to bring awareness or to drum up hate it's up to the singer how & what & why to sing. In the U.S. I believe the song "Poor Ellen Smith" has thedistinction of being the only song in the U.S. to be outlawed by a court. It seems that in the rural area where had Ellen lived there were very stong emotions about the events surrounding Ellen's death & the following trial & those emotions ran very high when someone sang the song causing brawls & continuous fighting with no one side ever coming to terms with the other, that being the way with reasoning sometimes the song went to trial & all else faded away the song now it's sung all over & no offense is felt, hopefully time will heal the wounded. You have much to give here Martin as well as gain, hopefully we'll still be hearing from you. Barry
