Thanks Lawrence. I do like these little moral dilemmas when they crop up in my own experience - the death of Thatcher etc. Recognising the anger within ourselves, especially when it entails thoughts of violence, is part of an investigation of honesty, and the poetry I often like is such an investigation of honesty etc.
Cheers
Tim
