Much to post here, which I will do soon. But just for now, I notice someone has written a nice review of the book on Amazon, to which they tag on some lyrics which turn out, on investigation, to be by Joni Mitchell:<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">In every culture in decline</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Watchful ones among the slaves</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Know all that is genuine</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Will be scorned and conned and cast away</span></blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div>We are, I suppose, the 'watchful ones among the slaves.' Somebody's got to do it. It's not a bad job.Paulnoreply@blogger.com
