Ha Ha! So true, and the older I become the more I believe politicians, everywhere, are amoral. "We are famous to be able to destroy what our genial people can build," It's a sad truth that those who monger power destroy whatever they will. We are at their mercy, we pay for their misdeeds and atrocities. I cling to the hope that there are more good people than there are evil... "sorry for my bad english" Dan, your English is fine - we wouldn't be able to satisfactorily communicate without your ability as I know, maybe, four Italian words! "As I said before,I will love the man forever, the man and his art, of course.... I would just love as much the idea that he would be more aware of the world turning ....." I agree with you, Mr. Ferry's world isn't as universal as one would like to think... As you, I too,""hope to seeya guys somewhere in this ferry/roxy summer". Happy Trails To You.
