Thread Name: Why is Kumbaya a dirty word?
Subject: RE: Why is Kumbaya a dirty word?
Living in a culture accustomed to sound bites, "buzz words" and catch phrases, it is easy to wear things out from overuse. I do happen to find the sentiment in "Kumbaya" a little simplistic and naive, but isn't altruism, while possibly also simple and naive, a deeply valued social tradition in many cultures?
