Thanks for your clarification McGrath! You're quite right of course - if it were only possible. The best example I know of the impossibility of believing that "...existing cultural baggage shouldn't be treated as the last word..." comes from my own stupidity.

Don't sing 'Down By the Glen Side' to a group of orangemen as I did once. It took me a long time and much pain to overcome the effects of their reaction. My protestations that it was beautiful song made no difference to them at all. It's possible that they were reacting to the quality of the performance, but not likely.
