The subject of "honor killings" has come into the discussion, which is good, one reason I leave open quesitons in most of my songs about human rights, is to get people thinking, for example about the obligation of the Bangladeshi minority community to embrase the female victems of the crimes directed at both men and women in their nation. I must say, however, I have been asking other lawyers, and have not yet heard that the Bangladeshi Hindus have committed honor killings in response to rape by Moslem gangs, rather honor killing in Bangladesh apears, to my initial inquiries (among non-Bangladeshis) to be done by the same fundamentalist communities committing the crimes of rape. I will keep you all posted...

As to our guest... I have a wee song to the tune of Dowey Dens of Yarrow, dedicated to all the anonymous trolls on Mudcat...

While posting on the mudcat site,
so many a tune did borrow,
my songs inflamed, many a fascist clan
and one wee guest named Yarrow

This Yarrow she did post with spite
and many a phrase so callow
Invective she hurled with all her might
did this one wee guest named Yarrow

But words bereft of mighty wit
where met with naught but sorrow
for one who posts with no real point
this one wee guest named Yarrow

So poets all, raise up yer glass
We'll toast and sing till it be morrow
And when the words flow fast and free
We'll have a dram for Yarrow

Cheers Larry
