Larry, CarolC - I meant it more as a smart-ass ironic comment than a nasty sarcastic one. I should never get involved in threads when the anger level seems to already be through the roof because a good deal of emotion seems to automatically be read into messages. I'm in a rather silly mood today (evidenced by everything else I've posted). I wasn't mad when I posted the above. I'm not planning on getting mad anytime in the near future.

I understood the song because I tend to think in terms of the abstract, and I look for the meaning behind the words. I look for the use of examples to make a point instead of directly stating that point. Others prefer to hear exactly what you mean - don't imply you think the situation is horrible, just say it. They think more literally.
