Oh? I thought the war had something to do with the little matter of the
murders of 6,000 innocent people, the destruction of two beloved buildings,
and the devastation of the families and jobs that went along with it. Silly
me, how could I have thought that the war was about anything but oil?

To everyone else, please forgive me for posting something so off-topic and
antagonistic. But I had to say something and say it publically. (I'm not one
of the people who wrote private, unpleasant e-mails to Rien). I apologize,
but I could not let this go by. This is still a very bitter and emotional
subject for me.

I'll ask a clarinet question to get back on track. I have a used plastic
clarinet that works fine, but it looks very dull and old. I've tried buffing
it with a chamois but can't get it to a nice sheen. Is it a lost cause to
expect it to look like new, or is there some kind of special cloth or product
I can use? Is it OK to use standard silver polish on the keys?
