thanks for this info sarah it certainly helps explain (to me at any rate) why i feel so frustrated by so much of what i read/hear/see about in the media... btw, you may have mentioned this but if so i missed it...did you say you were once a journalist in the gulf war? which media did you work for & are any of your pieces online? i'd be interested in reading some of what you reported... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
