RE: [microsound] war

["Falcata-Galia and Tariff Records" <fgrecs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm actually going first to Macedonia to teach and work with USAid, so
I'm way ahead of you there, in terms of your idea.  Should there be an
opening, damn straight I'd go to Iraq.  I was in the Balkans when there
were bombs going off in Belgrade, so I can say first-hand what it's like
to have to endure this.  But unlike a great deal of leftist types (not
all - some of the people here who hold views different from mine have
proved to be good people who merely disagree with me), I can speak with
the experience of seeing ugly things happening, only to end up being for
the greater good.  NO ONE LIKES WAR, despite what those critical of the
military like to say. =20

And about anger...  Are you reading the same letters I'm writing, or are
you projecting something that's not there?  I've read and re-read what
I've been writing, and although I do what I can to stress a point here
and there, there should be nothing at all to imply any sort of anger.  I
think this just may be wishful thinking on your part.  I'm quite pleased
with life right now, to be honest.  Worried like everyone else for the
fate of the world, but pleased in my personal dealings.

On your last paragraph I agree highly.  Another good reason to move to a
slightly poorer place - at least there the coffee and people are good,
and life's pace is slower.
