Not you also. Why must we always take the negative side. There is such a
thing as balance and there is knowledge we all may benefit from. I really
thought that with age came an understanding of balance. You mentioned you
are about my age. There are things about all cultures regardless of how
primative they may seem to us which will have a lesson. Remember it was the
white man who turned the cocoa into powder and used it to denagrate their
own society. Even the government has been suspected of using it to raise
funds for military purposes.

If we are such a great society how come 20% of our kids are using dangerous
brain-killing drugs?

"You Take The High Notes" http://helius.carroll.com/p/leo_g/ There is a
difference between "dealers" and musicians that love not only the sound of
music but the tools which make it possible for people to play music. It's
important to set things free so they may ultimately find their way to
their intended parties. I am especially interested in Musical Instrument
History and technical data. Please email me with interesting links. Thank
you:-) Leo
