Countrylife Lover What on earth are you raving on about? Did you even read my post or did the red mist descend when you perceived a criticism of Roots, blocking any reasoned understanding of the content. Nowhere have I accused anyone of racism. What I have made reference to is the possibility that certain lyrics in the song could strike a chord with the evil bastards in our society who beat the racist drum behind the banner of patriotism. I'm in no way saying that this was the writers' intention, just that the words are open to interpretation. As for the young people in our society, you don't seem to hold out much hope for them. I think that you grossly underestimate their ability to discover things for themselves and to make their own minds up. The Irish comparison you draw gave me a laugh though. The impression I got was that when you step off the boat in Ireland you find yourself in a scene from Darby O'Gill and the Little People. I'm sad to say that until you can see past your blinkered view of the little ditty that is Roots then the end of the stick that you will always get will be the shitty end. Oh! Down here in the eunnuchs' room I've employed my expertise as a pioneer of the ball trasplant and I'm having a ball working my way through the hareem. Do your nurses know that you have access to a computer?
