	I tried to mail this to you, Don, but notes bit el dusto...

	Give me a break - that wasn't what I was complaining about, Don,
and if you would have read my posting and thought about it for a few
seconds you would have realized it!  I do NOT have some sort of deep-
seated hate of Ethiopians, or in fact of any group of people (other
than politicians...) and I certainly don't think that it is reasonable
for me to sit here and have you say 'I'm part of the problem'!

	What have YOU done for the good of the Earth and the people
on it lately?  

	What really got me in an 'uproar' about the USA for Africa 
recording is the MEDIA response to it, NOT the recording itself (although
I think the music is really pathetic) and also NOT the sentiment of
people who can helping people who can't (after all, if we can't do that,
we shouldn't be here...)!!!

	Perhaps this didn't come out too well in the original posting...


					Peace and all that...
