It is myopic and childish to think that list members in the US don't receive as much news as any other person on the list. Such nonsense has ceased to be acceptable. Kindly keep NHR things to yourself.

Are all watching TV News as a new experience ? Normally, nobody watches news. I see both sides & the critical between. Car bomb at checkpoint killed 11 soldiers, destroyed 3 armoured personal carrier & disabled two tanks besides 3 Apache being shot down today (international news from Baghdad), air born unit had to be evacuated by helicopters, leaving all equipment behind; other 19 being killed in one day; be buried according to their rites by Iraquis. I know, I hit your nerves, but truth is truth & I am a pacifist. That is also the reason, that I will not come to Bloomington, even I miss my friends very much. Well, admitted, the circumstances are one reason. The other reason is an low horn audition scheduled for June 5th, where I have to be leader of the jury, - and I could not return in time except departing from Bloomington on 4 rth to arrive on 5th early morning & perhaps falling asleep while in the jury. Would not give a good example for my much younger colleagues, right. But the audition was scheduled after I made my decision. Sorry. Has nothing to do with my many friends in the HIS. Again, I am sorry, but the decision had been made by (Air)"force major". If I could hate (my life philosophy forbids that), I would hate WAR indeed, any kind of war. If we have to express aggression, we can do it wonderful, just using our horns. How better than in a Wagnerian all horn orchestra. No other gang or band would be able to stop this hurricane, tornado, blizzard, tsunami, typhoon of horn noise. This would intimidate our enemies. Enemies: do horn player have enemies ? They just have enemies all around: conductor, manager, composer, critic, colleagues ....... All these so called enemies do not deserve that we horn players unite (as so often incomplete) & "play-blow" them away or into pieces, as we do it for fun, for our fun.
