[HANASHIR:11328] Re: Back On Track

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

I have to say, that if we can't share some of our  ideas & feelings on
this list with the people who TEACH, SING and live for peace, then who
CAN we share this stuff with?  I for one, picked up a few points that I
was unfamiliar with.   It's so easy to simply delete any subject that
doesn't interest you.

Adrian,

Considering the magnitude of what is happening in the world and to us
Jews-
I think we've been "pretty good" in keeping the non musical stuff to a
minimum.  We are a community that cares alot about each other and we
have a
special bond.  It's only natural that we feel compelled to share certain
things - when they really matter, and when we feel that the things we
share
can make a difference. Like educate each other in those areas where
ignorance can be detrimental to us as a people.

To those who privately complain to Adrian...is it harder to delete a
political message than a "legitimate" one that is of no interest to you?

Please skip the obvious "this is a music list".  We all know this and
respect this.  An occasional excursion into the realm of ideas and
values
isn't going to kill anyone - whereas the lack of it might.
