For the thirty thousand the fight goes on,as the band strikes up.." in to the valley "..to the nearest pub to drown all thoughts of what used to be.

There again should i drift on such words..when an English Teacher..in Jordan is facing a possible forty lashes..for helping the school children..name a Teddy Bear..Mohamad..somehow this is blasphemy..aaarrhh the world...i wonder what would have happened if the name chosen was Jesus and it was dressed in gingham.
