I thought this was the horn list were just about anything goes? The Yahoo list is highly censored. Music is a interaction with people(ie.politics), both the performers and the audience. Politics and current events are completely fair game for discourse to musicians. I guess if the horn is a hobby then for someone it may be difficult to understand....
If you think we are alone in this Universe, or Guardians of this Universe, you are rudely mistaken. The current reaction(Republican right taking power) in this country is because of the rapid increase in political correctness. While political correctness is important for the future of mankind(!), it has been happening out of proportion to the good that needs to occur outside of rhetoric. Beyond the disaster that happened in Yugoslavia because of the UN( and past US admin), the Middle East was facing the rise of a huge Islamic Arab Nation state, Iraq was to be the center(funny how the media misses the facts). If this happened, most of south Asia would get screwed including China. Also, the checks and balances of the energy trade would come to an end and we would face a longer road to alternative energies. The loss of a spiritual(connection to a higher power) human being will be the disconnection of humans from nature and cycles within nature. We live within a Mantra, or Prayer, or God, whatever you believe.(oh no, God, we can't say that can we?). oh well back to long tones and music.
