	I wonder if there were any atrocities in the world when Ravel 
wrote Bolero?  How about when Picasso was formulating cubism?  Were 
there good and innocent people being persecuted?  When Kubrick was 
filming 2001 was there some group of oppressors flexing their muscles 
against a group of defenseless bystanders?

	Let's not pull this issue in out of thin air please.  Yes 
there is incredible human suffering taking place 24/7 somewhere 
around the world.  Many of us support the fight against human rights 
violations and try to ease suffering in various ways.  Both locally 
and globally.  It doesn't mean we have to stop what we are also doing 
artistically or professionally.

	Not looking for a war here, just my 2¢.
