Hi, idnc_sk!  :)

Sorry, I think you've sent the message only for me for mistake again, so I
am sharing it with the list.

I believe, and have strong empirical evidence for my believe, that the
vast majority of people are good. We would not survive as a species
if this would not be the case.

As is probably evident, I do enjoy having complicated conversations
with interesting people. What I noticed over the years is, that even
intrinsically good people can get behind ideas that are intrinsically bad
or even inhumane.

As I noted elsewhere

*Evil is not winning because good people do nothing, evil is winning
because*

* good, talented, intelligent people have been manipulated to work [one way
or another]** for its goals.*

I don't know you personally and may have misjudged you, on a 2nd read I did
form that sentence in a very aggressive, accusing way.
Sorry for letting my hotheadednes take the better of me. The point that
I was trying to get across is, well, put in *italics* above.

Patti Smith - People Have The Power

I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
That the people / have the power
To redeem / the work of fools
Upon the meek / the graces shower
It's decreed / the people rule

The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying arms
To waste / in the dust
In the form of / shining valleys
Where the pure air / recognized
And my senses / newly opened
I awakened / to the cry

Refrain

Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows / a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you

Refrain
The power to dream / to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It's decreed the people rule
It's decreed the people rule
LISTEN
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth's revolution
We have the power
People have the power...
