Teena's debut, 'Wild and Peaceful', came out on Gordy in 1979. Coyote Rick humbly responds: Sorry, Denknee, was just reporting what I was told by a docent at the Motown Museum in Detroit. On your knowledge, I certainly stand corrected and will never repeat that comment again. I appreciated both Gore and Dee's music in its time as well as Teena's. But, were the same docent and I right about Rare Earth? PS: As a newbie to posting - don't forget the NJC in the subject line when your post doesn't pertain to Joni.

If in every exchange here or there we can touch one person on one point, we can begin to change things. I am glad that you Kate have been there to stand out & help me get back to a spot where I can be somewhat at peace. Even the "evil cabal" (Chicago political aficionados know this term) had to start someplace with their message of hate, which may not have started out as hateful or extreme. The same can be said of "good" that it may get radically out of control - and then what would happen? We may actually encourage & spread the words of peace, love & understanding - and what's so funny 'bout that? I remember this time called the 60's when everything that young people & black people talked about & fought for seemed soooo impossible, radical - out of the norm ... but almost everything from there is pretty common place today and has been for 30 years now. I don't pretend that everyone is okay with all of it, but we came a long way. And if we are indeed the America we think we are, then we should expect to have the bar raised and our objectives met. It doesn't always take a good ass kickin' to make a point. What makes America so great and the country I love ... that I can say all this freely. You see left-wingers can be patriotic as well.

Some of the points he makes about our short-term, historical, least of evils foreign policy decisions have the ring of truth - however, they would be better received if placed in full and proper context. He made no attempt to do so, and lost all credibility with me long before the end of his letter, by which time he had exposed himself for the propagandist that he obviously is. 2. I noted that he is neither a professor of history nor of journalism. Rather, an assistant professor of Psychology at Penn. This is not a terribly persuasive title for me, since I have little respect for that profession, generally (and certainly none for the American Psychological Association, with which I have no reason to believe the professor is affiliated). Yes, I have some friends who are psychologists. 3. My personal, anecdotal theory is that the subject matter attracts those who are psychologically disturbed - his writings (ravings) reinforce my impressions. Those who have passed logic 101 know that this does not mean that I think all psychologists are in this category, or even most. Simply that I suspect from my observations that there is a disproportionate bias (probably caused by the recognition, conscious or subconscious, that they have a problem) in that area. For example, if 10 % of the population at large is disturbed, but 25% of psychologists are disturbed, that would be consistent with my observations without implying that most psychologists are disturbed. Note that disturbed is not intended as a clinical term. Anyway, I do not know this man. Based on his letter alone, however, I would bet that he is disturbed. Note particularly his use of block capital letters ;-) , his description of Israel as a state born of terrorism and his implication that the US (deflecting attention away from the Taliban) is the force not supportive of individual liberties. Give me a break. I certainly do not rely on him as the source of the truth. Kakki reserved judgment - good nose, IMO. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2001 #507 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
