OK, I'm one of the new kids here, but as for this flame war, let me just
quote Kate;

"Don't want your bullshit..."

Uh, but wait a minute, I sure don't want your sexuality either...

Please people, can't we all just get along? I tell you what, I'll go out
of my way to atrract flames as a sort of a crossfire to get us off of this
ugly playground banter...

On the basis of discussions on this newsgroups, I went out and purchased
Sarah M's "Solace", and while I am pleased overall, and had actually heard
"Into the Fire" maybe a dozen times on DMX, I was very worried about the
first couplet on the album, which struck me as being terribly sophomoric.
Sheesh, "yearning to be free"? I was waiting for "We'll make a better day"
to come up next...
