K.D. Lang sang "Help Me." Is there such a video on the market? I've looked everywhere, from Amazon to Border's Books & Music. Nobody seems to have it. "Help me -- it's got me hopin' for the future and worryin' about the past." Thanks, Tom (JoeCourtReporter). ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 23:24:09 -0400 From: dsk Subject: Re: august 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JC Kakki wrote: > Everything B.F. said, Les.

Don't know when the last time was, but there are certain songs that can always put a lump in my throat-Silky Veils is one-Woman of Heart and Mind is another. > a bloodbath that may never end. do you think that the israeli care? the hell they do. they're too busy trying to buy black market tickets to the red hot cheely peppers's show. would that group have appeared at south africa back then? i guess they would have. Shame on the Chili Peckers... and shame on the US gov't for supplying the instruments of death and the stamp of approval for Israeli aggression all these years. I hope that somehow this crisis can be resolved without further escalation. It's sad and nerve-wracking and so unneccesary. Be safe, Nureil.

All of our analytical brain power and earthly and lunar accomplishments don't mean a damn thing if there is no compassion and humanity behind them. > But deifying him was a mistake, I think.

I've always thought that was precisely the message - that he was human, a very great human and example to which we could all aspire. Guilt has no place in it. Conscience, yes, but I was even taught by the (perhaps more progressive than most California) nuns that handwringing guilt was a "sin".
