Pardon me Phil,
Your last message reminded me of a cynical song that some of used to sing in
the 1960's:
They're rioting in Africa, they're starving in spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida, and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls, The french hate the
Germans, the Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch,
And I don't like anybody very much.
But we can be thanful and tranquil and proud,
tthat man is endowed with the mushroomed shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day,
Someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away.
