What's ironic is that I thought I'd conveyed my extremely mixed emotions over the whole situation and did state I didn't know what people should have done regarding their applause. More troubling is that what I expressed was not understood and this statement by Gillian implies I should shut up because I am not a great famous artiste but some mere female peasant that should know her place. Shades of the (neverending) "your notches liberation doll" theme. > Pretty disheartening, especially in this kind of venue where peace and love are > supposed to be the flavor of which we all profess to want. Examples of peace and love speak for themselves here. They are not a automatic given here or in life outside of here. Saying it doesn't make it so. But as in real life, it can exist here and you know when it is real. Thanks, Mack. Kakki
