Dear musicians, someone from the US PS-talked me lately:
"PS You have been a good boy and refrained from posting inflammatory political comments". Not any more "a good boy"... There are countries that use torture as "normal" means of interrogation - and today the USA is included with a nice company of China, Russia, North-Korea, Israel, Iran, ... And USA even keeps concentration camps in the style of Germany in WW2: there is no law, there is no other way out other than death... Connection to the Lute List: We basically should be artists, we should be professionals in creating feelings, and feeling what the audience feels. Please fellow musicians, artists, take a moment to "feel" how it feels to be tortured - our imagination could be better than the professionals have, but I guess they are also very good in it. I hope they were not, but I guess they are even much better than us... So. Is there any remedy? At least you American readers, you should try to get Bush and his gang "to justice", as they used to say. I suppose the only way to save USA's possibility to save its universal status is to bring Bush and his company to Hague and be condemned on their crimes. All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
