…and have to agree to a point with ya, e-g… however, it’s the underlying tone of the piece, the so-called vibrations emanating from between the words, that i find a little disheartening.

It seems that you are very angry about these observances that you have so faithfully described. I can’t help but feel your negativity is veiling the sincerity and concern that you write about, making the piece a little less palatable – it doesn’t go down as easily as it could had it not that overtone of, not disappointment but, restrained anger.

It know that it is easy to feel the disappointment in the ways of the world, thru its politicians, its priests, it’s apparent disregard for anything intelligent or artistic, but is these very annoyances that I trust you can overcome and realize that these ‘greivances’ that you address are simply another level of understanding that you have to learn.

You are beyond what society honors. Smile at what you know and enjoy your authenticity.
