Lawrence, I appreciate your sentiment but can't help thinking how the
political capturing of a popular wave of sentiment can sometimes lead
to change for the better (Marcos, Mandela, the Berlin Wall). And grief
probably fuels the anger, (t'was grieving-a-plenty for blacks under
apartheid). It fuelled the passion of Earl Spencer's words too.
