    My Friends,

    I feel I need to take action,
    so I am writing & sending
    this comment to as many
    of my friends as I can, in
    hopes that you will join me
    in protesting this   "NO
    FREEDOM OF CHOICE":
    automatic changing of the
    profiles to Beta next month. 
    For some of us, it will be such
    a horrendous destruction of
    what we have worked at
    cultivating for so long.

    The Beta Profile is sterile,
    simplistic, non-creative,
    feels and looks like an elevator
    prohibiting anything of real
    culture and artistic value. 
    It will not be possible (or
    difficult at best) to retain
    or maintain any semblance of
    individuality which should
    be a basic right...right? 

    I ask each who does agree
    with me and others, to help
    by uniting in this "little bit
    of time we have left" to try
    to change this movement
    (a movement for money in the
    form of greed in advertisement).

    If you are not in agreement,
    then I apologize for sending this
    and understand if you decide
    to delete it.

    Basic Freedom of Choice
    should be ours!

    Thanks for the honour of your (virtual) friendship! Alan's is always an inspiration, whatever the medium. My mum once asked me "Who's Zen?!?", which almost seems a fair question now the laughter's faded.

    As for me, I have a new cd EP, also on i-Tunes etc + a bunch of Free mp3's for download on my website's Music page song list - hope all's well with you!

    peace
