Thanks for this. I've never been able to take Tchaikovsky seriously - his music seems fine for outdoor picnics or ballet. I'm back to studying Russian music, so he shouldn't be ignored. This should help.

Dont ever forget - ppl are the same everywhere. We've all made wrong choices at some point in our lives. Being 'better than' is not a good look.

Thanks. That may be a better fit for me.

I hear you and I understand; however, we have friends and like minded ppl across the bridge. I was in Buffalo yesterday to watch film at PBS Studio.

Also need to cancel Starlink in Ontario.

they chose what they believed was the easier, softer way.
It is up to us to create better ways without making ppl feel less-than.

Having good, and fair business practices is the unifying factor. (I come from the corporate world, so I use 'business practices' loosely). There are many of us who are trying to come up with new business models that are sustainable and are based on spiritual (nature) goals rather than destruction.

I've also met some greedy socialists.

when do we get to replace 'capitalism' with 'greed'

Why trash anyone?

I'm here for the ride. Go!
