I regularly beat myself up about this but I am still sure it was the best thing to do at the time.   The world has changed since I was a kid and I am pretty much hating it right now.   Sucks, doesn't it?   I received an official warning for placing my arm around a little girl's shoulders to give her some comfort after dressing her grazed knee, when I was working in a school... broke my bloody heart it did...   We're going to end up with a whole generation of people who think that ANY touching whatsoever is evil and wrong...   Homo Sapiens has always comforted and reassured through touch... it's what makes us worth preserving as a species - compassion, empathy and concern for others...                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh, they'll be please to see you, believe me!!                                                                                                                                                                              

lol - just wrote a 10 minute essay in reply to Wannabe but fate decided to erase it... maybe a good thing too (should have gone in the Rant forum!)   Condensed version: agree mankind should be preserved but modern society can go to Hell!                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh, they'll be please to see you, believe me!!   Fair comment, considering I was the "official" band photographer & had just arrived in time for the last number of the 1st set!   Nice condensing there TC...
