That's one of the more profound e-mails I've read recently (I'm obviously waayyyyy behind in my e-mails). I'm glad you posted it.

Don't know. There's a Perry Como version and a Madonna version and an Ashlee Simpson version -- all are pretty pathetic. All should be shot for foisting their versions on the public, but I don't believe any have actually been shot. Pity. You must remember, Julie, that in poorer neighborhoods you're in greater jeopardy of bodily harm, but in richer neighborhoods you're in greater jeopardy of spiritual harm. Never forget the maxim, if you need help seek out the poor. I've never known the rich to give a damn, the poor understand. But maybe it's just the crowd I run around with. Some rob with a gun, others with law. It's all the same. Mike Geary Memphis
