OT: a plea to the group

["Rick Walker \(loop.pool\)" <GLOBAL@cruzio.com>]

Hi Everybody,

I don't know about the rest of you, but today was a very black day for
the greater part of the world.   I think that what is in order, since there
is very little that any of us can do about these tragic events is
to try our best to be compassionate, level headed, loving, concious, in
touch with our emotions and to try to promote the thing that really brings
us all together here on our wonderful little group:   MUSIC.

I would like to ask that we try our best not to be provoking of each other
in the next few days.............there has been enough hatred for a long,
long time to come.

I've been, at times today:  pissed off, sad, depressed, impotent and
frustrated.   A guy needlessly tailgated my wife and I this evening and I
found myself really, really angry at him.    I know looking back on it that
this guy was just another unconcious human being and that my anger was out
of proportion to his tailgating (we were, after all, only driving 25 miles
an hour).

Let's give the volatility a little rest and if you feel angry and impotent,
let me suggest that you donate some blood to the thousands of people who
desperately need it in New York City and Washington D.C. tonight.  That
would be a godsend.


Bless you all,  from whatever country, culture or political idiology that
you come from

Peace,

Rick Walker
