(various childish > complaints follow). She donated her time and efforts to the LIVE AID concert. In so doing she helped collect enough money to make a real difference for many starving people. Apparently neither our government nor the corporate establishment has as much power. Mr. Robinson, you incontinent, hate-ridden atavism, over the totality of your life you will never perform as much social service as did she in 25 minutes. You are not worthy to lick her boots. Kindly dry up and blow away. [Personal aside: I'm no fan of Madonna's music or apparent attitudes. But my particular tastes can't encompass anybody's existence. In fact, they can barely encompass someone's most insignificant surface qualities. I was reminded of that by the concert. Readers are invited to remind me again, not necessarily gently, when next I pontificate about something.] -- Oded Feingold {decvax, harvard}!mitvax!oaf MIT AI Lab oaf%oz@mit-mc.ARPA 545 Tech Sq. 617-253-8598 work Cambridge, Mass. 02139 617-371-1796 home
