Now look Mbo, no offence meant. These were PERSONAL opinions. Both Kendall and I are are pretty decent sorts. I'm sure there is some kind of big Kahuna out there keeping the planets in line, I just find it incredibly difficult to believe that: A. He/She/it bares any resemblance to all those paintings. (especially the ones that look like Brad Pitt with long hair and a beard) and B.: That this diety would favour one country (or football team, or political party, or race of people) over another. Strictly on the basis of the tune, I like (and learned to play) The Russian anthem. If I knew what the words were I'd probably find them just "as over the top". Probably filled with "meadows, mountains, and heroic manly soldiers out protectin' the wimmenfolk".
